    Hey hey,

    It's not a diet, it's a 'lifestyle change'. Haha doesn't that get annoying the more times you hear it lol.

    So I created an account almost a year ago, but never followed through with logging in and holding myself accountable. It's a new start!!

    I signed up in the summer, and started hanging out more the last few weeks, feel free to add me, I plan on being here a long time and pretty much log in daily. Also my diary is open to friends and I log everything if you need ideas :)

    Good luck.

    I created my account a while ago, but have never taken advantage of the support. I would love some support & as well as to be support for others. Now I just have to figure out how to add people! LOL

    Hey there!

    Welcome to MFP! I've been logging off and on for the past year and I've found that when I log it helps control my weight. I've also found that this has been a great way for me to figure out true portion sizes. I am HORRIBLE when it comes to portion sizes!!!

    Dieting has got to be on the top 5 list of the hardest things to STICK with in life! Feel free to add me for some support!!! :smile:

    I'm also looking for some people to share with and encourage. My wife isn't into eating healthy and every time I start doing good she sabotages my diet by bring home junk food. Or begging me to pick some up for her then after you have one nite u say screw it and stuff yourself then u feel like crap that's what is going on with me. I'm also in a addiction geared 12 step anonoumous fellowship so I know how benifitual it can be having a support group.jon

    Like several others who posted, I am not new, but returning and need accountability. I have about 50 pounds to lose and having a hard time. I quit smoking three months ago so time to get off my butt and get to work! Please add me as a friend, thanks!

    Welcome BigJon. Don't make excuses. Make *kitten* happen. I was the same way. My wife brought the junk home...i ate it. Now I just wag my finger and let that mess mold. Shame on her...lol.

    Good Job Slim. When I grow up I wanna be just like you, I don't know about the 32lbs, but 266 days is awesome.

    Lianne - I was on here so much and did everything i could and never lost any weight so I blamed the site and everything else but me of course. Now i am almost 40 and decided it is time to put on my big girl panties and give it a whirl. So today i have started tracking again and need support, encouragement and someone to kick as *kitten* back into gear and check on me and not have me give up due to frustration. So here I am if you need it as well. :happy:

    I'm right there with you, I've been trying to make my menu better but can't get away from foods I like to eat. It's frustrating but I can conquer it I'm sure.

    You'll do well, Good Luck on your Journey!
