    Please take one step at a time and remember never give up on your goals even when you make mistakes. Set small goals for your self. E.g 10lbs per month.

    WELCOME! I have been here for a few months but at first I did not consider it much but now I look at all the posts & success stories & it motivates me to read & thrive off of others success. I say to myself I can do this too! It also helps with food intake & monitoring yourself daily! I'm praying to loose a 100 pounds, but I have started first with small weightloss & fitness goals monthly then that way I feel like it would lead me to a Big LOSS! Have fun!:smile:

    hi my name is jazmine roper and i just had a baby last year in june and i feel so unattractive i want to lose 100 pounds as well. i think what would be a good way for us to help each other lose the weight it by challenging eachother and to make a fatty jar, so every time we think about getting something to eat that we know we should not have we should put that money in a jar and after we lose the weight we should take that money to go and by our first new outfit

    You have to do it for yourself. You're worth it.

    I've been big all my life. I weighed 220 when I graduated high school. and now 20 years later, I've gained 125 lbs in addition to. For me I need all the support I can get. This is a great place to get it. I've used MyFitnessPal in the past and was able to lose weight. Then I stopped using it and got lazy. I'm getting back on the horse and its a big process and a steep climb. But it can be done. One of aspect of the site is the people on here, they don't criticize. Some of the other great aspects is that MFP (MyFitnessPal) makes everything so easy to monitor and access. Good Luck in your progress.

    This is a very good and suportive site. I joined a while back and started to get active about my weight loss in October of 2012 and am down about 20 pounds since I began. I also have a young son and if you are looking for friendly advice that is also honest and not sugar coated you are in the right place! Feel free to add me!

    I am also a working mom of 2 boys (age 7 and 9) and need to lose about 130 pounds. I just recently started back last week. Just logging your food makes a big difference. Of course, exercising, eating healthy and drinking lots of water makes it even better! You will find a lot of support on MFP. Feel free to add me as a friend.

    I too am right there with you...I love MFP it really keeps me on track with being a full time working mom of 3 grade school kids. Get the app and it is with you at all times! We go camping over the summer and I can still log in here and stay on track.

    I am looking to lose 100 lbs also...well no 90 :) Feel free to add me! Best of luck!
