    Sorry but you can make 500 MFP friends but unless you decide to make your health a top priority, you will continue to struggle.

    Friends offer support but all the hard work comes from you!!!

    Take a No Excuses attitude and the results will come!!!

    Good luck!!!

    I just started so I'm still trying to figure things out, but you add me if you'd like...I'm a great sounding board as long as you don't mind me talking to myself. :smile: I think each of us can use all the motivation we can get!!

    Hi Denise! Welcome to MFP!!!! ... YOU CAN DO IT!!!
    I just started last month too (after years and years of either yo-yo fad dieting or just not caring at ALL). I have about 100 pounds to lose - it's been about 20 years since I've been at my goal weight (I figure I need to see what that looks like on me before I decide whether it's 90 pounds or 120 LOL), and I am THRILLED to be down 10 pounds already!
    "Dieting" does not come easily to me, but MFP doesn't feel like dieting... actually it feels more like budgeting. And since we're working on a really controlled budget for our finances, why not for my calories too?
    So far it's been pretty simple, and I am learning to make really healthy swaps in the foods I eat and fix for my family (like tonight I made KILLER low-fat pot stickers and they were SUPER yummy and only 54 calories each!). Just take things one day at a time, start making some simple swaps and watching portion control, and find some recipes that sound good... Best of luck!
    (Oh, and I'm on every day too and would love to help cheer you on!)

    I'm with ya, girl. I have 100 lbs to lose also! I have already lost 40 lbs by cutting out fast food, making small changes & maintaining them, and moving more. It's been over 2 years since I started but during that time I've some off time, etc. Ya know? It's life...We've gotta do what works for us. I would love to talk to you more...Find out what you're doing to get to where you wanna go, etc. I'll send you a friend request now. :) YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
