    Hi my name is Sheri and I am a newbie. I am so discouraged. I can't seem to get motivated to lose weight. I am getting older and it is getting harder and harder. I have always been a yo-yo dieter but I am trying to get off of that rollercoster and stay on a downward trend. I hope that MFP can help me stay motivated. I am going to try the 10 pound March challenge to get me started.

    Hi my name is Diana, and I'm a 'newbie' too ... I'm really liking this site ... just the motivation i needed (i hope, lol) ...

    For me the visual tracking of exercise and food consumption is a 'HUGE' help ... I'm a quantity and quite likely an emotional eater - geeeeez that's hard to admit ... but I'm beginning to think there's a lot of truth in that statement.

    I quit smoking almost 2 years ago and have gained 30 lbs - I'm 5' 8 1/2" so possibly can carry it easier than most but that's not the point like everyone else I hate the added pounds and absolutely nothing fits, Yeeeeeeeeeeeks..

    Starting weight: 175 omg that's 6 lbs. more than my full term pregnancy weight - and I gained 45 lbs when pregnant - YIKES!
    Goal weight: 145
    Total: 30 lbs

    Actually, I'm down about 5 lbs this week ... that's pretty normal for the ist week and will possibly be less by Tuesday.
    I've really stepped up the exercise - trying not to be the proverbial couch potatoe - I'm starting a little late so I'm basically challenging myself ... just wanted to drop in introduce myself and wish everyone success!

    Play safe,
    Diana

    Well...I lost only 1 lb this week..which really sucks..I can't figure out what I've done differently this week from all the other weeks where I have lost 2 lbs...I guess 1 is better than none, but how can I lose 7 lbs in 3 weeks...I'm going to have to really work out and eat healthy!! I can do I can do I can do!!!!

    Morning everyone! I lost another 3.2 lbs this week (????). Am a little in shock, wasn't expecting such a big loss two weeks in a row (3.6 last week). That's makes me 8.6 gone for this 10 lb challenge, 1.4 to go! Yipee!

    Hope everyone has a great week!

    I'd like to join. I know I'm late, but I would love to lose 10 pounds by the end of March! I am at the heavisest I have ever been and keep gaining so I have to lose and get healthy again!
    I am so glad my niece introcuced me to this site. I don't know what I would do without it! I never would have known about the C25K program or Shred, or found so many delicious recipes!! Anyone who would like to add me as friend, please feel free. I have my diary set to public, so feel free to offer suggestions. I received one suggestion about eating veggies, which was great, because the person was right, I DON"T eat enough of them!
    My weigh in day is Tuesdays. I made it that so that I weigh in when the Biggest Losers weigh in on the show. This helps to keep me motivated!
    Right now I am doing the C25K program. It has been tough for me, but I am committed to finishing it and becoming a "runner/jogger!"

    Take care everyone and stay on track!

    Congrats to everyone losing!! I'm almost back to where I was when I started. Yesterday I was at 191.5, which is cool... My goal for March 31 was 180, but that seems a little unreasonable. (Dang that birthday cake!!!) My CW is .5 higher than when I started March! :blushing: I made a new goal of 185 for the end of Mach, which is still a long shot, but oh well. :ohwell: It's still 10 lbs less than when I first posted in this forum. Just wanted to update.

    Awesome job and congratulations!

    I was just shy of my goal by 3.6 pounds, but then TOM hit. But it is still 2 weeks til April from today! Two weeks can really make a big difference when you put your heart into it. We can do this everyone!!!
