Hi

So, 2013 is going to be the year I really lose weight for good. I can lose weight when I have a specific event I want to look good for (for example my wedding) but always put the weight back on. I could really do with some support over the coming months to keep me on track :-)

    Hey guys and gals! Today is my second day, I thought I'd be a wise-*kitten* and get a jump on the NY resolution thing. I knew I'd blow it yesterday but, considering it was New Year's Eve, I don't think I did all that bad. I'm doing this from China and, while I do have a colleague and friend doing MFP too... I'll take all the help I can get. I'm looking to lose about 60 lbs. though 70 would be even better! And... my gf said she'll join me if this works! So, puh-leeze, show me some long distance support!

    Good luck everybody... I know we can all succeed if we really put our minds to it... and support each other!

    Thanks

    Ok, I've been afraid of jumping on a scale for a while, but I realized I gained even more weight since the last time I measured it just by looking at myself in the mirror. I am willing to lose 44 pounds or maybe a bit more. My main problem is anxiety.. I most of the times swallow my food, and I know that the key is to learn to eat slowly (and consequently less). My whole life I have fought for maintaining the weight, but in the last years I relaxed a lot.. food is one of the main sources of pleasure in life, and that's why it is so difficult to stop eating yummy stuff. But I need to do that for my self-esteem.. I know it will be boosted if I reach my goal and will certainly give me more self-confidence. I don't know how support on diets work, but if someone is in the same boat, we can monitor each other (at least I'll try to). Best of luck in 2013!

    Feel free to add me as well. I could also use as much support as possible. My biggest supporter has always been my sister but due to health issues she has been unable to take this journey with me.

    I love the response youve had to this! always daunting taking the first few steps! ADD ME too think we all need the support and encouragement. ;)
    I have 48lbs to lose, for the first time in my life im not slim having had a wonderful child, I now comfort eat through boredom and inactivity as I cant live the life that I used to and its a shock! But ive got myself an exercise bike, I am going to get a kettle bell and thats it I am ready for the battle to commence... I am afraid, I wont deny - I lost a stone and half last year on crazy shake and vlcd diets -and to prove they dont work I have piled it all back on! no quick fix now just hard work and comittment, I still struggle to visualise the current larger me! I have been in denial and now its time to face up to my fears. Having never been large before I am quite shocked by how much it affects your mental attitude and confidence so for me having previously always been the positive optimist in life I can no longer allow this baby belly to take over my life, I want my life back! Heres to a happy lighter New year for us all ;)
