    My name is Darlene and I have had this weight issue since I was 13. This issue is so complicated and someone who does not have the food/body issue do not understand. Everyday is going to be a good day and don't beat yourself up if you have a little sugar. Don't be hard on yourself. I will keep routing for you... You will do it, I know.

    first of all you have to be more realistic with yourself... dont say you are in need of losing a lot of weight that is not a goal... you should say things like hey i want to drop xxxlbs by christmas, wear a size xxx by my birthday, go topless by summer... you should always set attainable goals for yourself write them down read them daily and use them to hold yourself accountable.


    losing a lot of weight is easy you can drop 30bls by monday if you wanted to but that is not a true sign of success or something you can maintain longterm.

    you can add me to your friends list if you want i will always give realistic support.

    Good luck and just remember to be honest about serving sizes... I'd rather call it two servings than 1.5... Track everything... I even put down many of the spices and herbs I use... even many things with zero calories... Honesty with yourself will pay off... 97.2 pounds since July.

    Welcome. I started last Monday and I have stuck with the dieting and exercise since. I already am feeling great, I am motivated and this site is GREAT for motivation. Reading everyone's success stories helps so much because it lets me know there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Even if it hurts, do not give up....push through the pain, push through the hunger. Always say to yourself, this to shall pass.

    Hi and welcome! I've been on here since 10/26/2012, so almost 3 weeks. I am 4 ft 11 in, and weighed 157lbs on 10/26/12. I've been counting calories, doing the 30 day shred 4-6 times a week. I'm always surprised by how much food 1200 calories is when I eat more veggies and less crap. :) As of 11/12/12 I have lost 4.5 lbs and my clothes fit so much better (my pants are almost feeling loose). I have more energy and feel stronger. My hubby is also on this journey with me and has lost 11 lbs since we started. We keep eachother motivated through the rough days (there are lots!) and so far MFP has been a great source of motivation and tips.

    Good for you for taking control and making the choice to be a healthier you!
