    I have 80 to go. I've lost the same 40 several times. I want to blast through the wall this year! We can do this! One day at a time!

    I've been at this since September. I was not great the last 2 weeks and had my "first" day again today. What's really helped me is trying to not focus on the total number I need to lose and rather on small goals like hitting a new decade in my weight loss goals and getting to the half way point of each decade. (i.e. - 174 and 169 lbs) It makes me feel good to be in the next decade. Good luck! Feel free to add me if you'd like.

    My husband & I just started this today... We both have quite a bit to lose & at stake... He is a diabetic with high blood pressure... I don't want to end up like that, so together we are going to achieve better health...

    I just started again and I need to lose 100 pounds. Please add me because I need motivation and encouragement. Logging the food really helps. even on days I think I ate a ton of food, I can see that I am close to my goals. Stick with it and please add me!

    I need to lose 55 pounds! I've gained that much in 2 years. I use to be a machine 2 years back but when i gave up on losing weight ( even tho I was only 115) I have struggled so much to get back into it. Today is my first day also!

    Hi all! I want to lose at least 60 pounds and I'm tired of messing around with it! I go down 20, up 15, etc. I really want to be able to see a big difference by summer! I also want to feel better. All it takes is about 15 pounds and I feel soooo much better....then I hit about 20 -30 pounds off and I stop......or return to old habits! good luck everyone! :D

    Hi- I have over 50 pounds to lose. I just join mfp yesterday. I have been a yo-yo dieter ever since I had my children. Over the last number of years I had given up on losing weight, but now that my doctor has put me on BP medication and I am on acid re-flux pills I decided I need to give it another go. I am hoping with the support that seems to be on here, we can all make 2013 our year.

    Okay Folks. I went to work on gathering up information and motivation and today I started the diet portion (will work on the exercise tomorrow). Anyway, I am reading all these post and I see "you can add me". How do you add friends to follow?

    I lost 50+ lbs my first go round and have maintained it until now, only dropping 20lbs but would love to have more friends to stay motivated with as the few I have will not be using it regularly and watching others succeed keeps me plugging away on the harder days! :)
