    Hi Everyone

    I have procrastinated for so many years and more than I would like to admit to. I always promise myself that I will not get through another year the same. However, there does come a period in your life when you realise that you cannot continue, your family are important to you and I want to spend my years (when I eventually retire) happy & healthy. Also for many years after that day comes and I know I am not going to do that if I don't do something about it.

    I have about 150lbs to lose - which is a lot. I refuse any longer to be embarrassed by stares and glares, I am 'doing' something about it! I don't like my photo, but it is what it is and won't be like this forever!

    I would love to be supportive to others and have that in return. So if anyone wants a new friend please feel free to add me.

    Vicky

      Welcome Vicki, I find MFP to be very motivational and the more friends you have the more it seems to help keep me going. Feel free to add me :)

      Hi Vicky, we are already friends.
      Your words sound strong and I don't know you but you sound convincing, that you do actually really want to do it!
      I am not going to wish you luck, as body transformation isn't about luck so Instead I will wish you a happy journey :)

      Vicky,

      You are in the right mindset! Keep you focus and you will be successful! There will be dips in the road, but you will weather them will! Might I suggest you right out your goals and post them some place you see often, maybe even add a photos of you know! This seems to help me keep my focus on where I want to be going! Blessings!! <><

      You're absolutely right. It kind of falls in line with the saying "the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago and the second best time is right now" :)!
      Wishing you success through this entire change of lifestyle!
      Feel free to add me if you would like extra support!

      We're already friends as well, but you definitely have the right attitude and humor about the situation to make it happen!
      I appreciate your support as well and look forward to continuing the journey with great friends like you :)

      Hello everyone, I am also making a commitment to myself to get healthy. I tried MFP a while ago but did not stick with it. I'm not sure how to add friends but I could use all the motivation I could get. I wish everyone a healthy New Year!
