Truthfully, the first 2 weeks are the hardest!!!! By the third week, your body is getting used to what you are doing differently, and accepting it. By week 4 and 5 (where I currently am), you don't even notice those snack cakes or that bottle of pop anymore, and I am actually EXCITED to go to the gym MOST of the time! Sometimes you will still have those mornings (thats when we go) where you would rather just lay in bed lol
Don't try and deprive yourself, but limit your "bad" intake as much as possible! Its worked out for me so far!
Feel free to add me if you'd like some motivation along the way!0 -
Tracking everything we put in our mouth is really a wake up call. Feel free to friend me and we'll do this weight loss journey together.
Its very surprising!0 -

YES ^^^ this!!!
You can do this...I was where you were and I know you can conquer this. Take little steps. Every 50 pounds, I rewarded myself with new sneakers, a purse, etc. Every 10 pounds, take a pic. I'm so excited for you...YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
Exercise, exercise, exercise is essential for me, in addition to tracking everthing I consume. When I started, I had to use a grocery cart to lean on just to grab some milk at the grocery store. My first attempt at walking for exercise had me in tears 1/4 of the way around the block because my lower back hurt so bad and I was so embarrassed. This was September 2011. Today, I run 3 miles 3-4 days a week, have completed two 5Ks since August 2012, and have more energy than I know what to do with. I've come a long way, and so will you!0 -
You can add me too! I log everyday and always am looking for support friends0

It is hard but you do get used to it and then you become addicted on logging. I'm on here more then FB lol. Anyone can add me. I met my goal and then some! I'm now working on bringing down my body fat and toning.

Hi welcome abroad. This is a great site for support and motivation. I will send you a friend request if you want to add me, feel free. If not all the best on your journey:bigsmile:0

I hope you dont "Loose" it...because Losing it is by far more successful with great focus.
Change is only as difficult as you all it to be. Always remind yourself exactly just how bad you want to live a healthier lifestyle.0 -
I am fairly new to this site. I had lost 75 pounds on my own with little support. Then I stopped losing and decided to get some extra encouragement. This site and the people I have added have been pretty good about replying to posts and it's rather comforting to know I don't have to go at this alone anymore. I have my good days and my bad days and sometime's I need a little kick to realize I am sabotaging my efforts. Would like to lose another 50 pounds or more and anyone who would like to add me the more the merrier.0

Friend request me. I love seeing everybody make progress and its nice to have that support group!0
-
Friend me if you like. So many people here, lots of great hints. You are on the way though by making that first step. Tracking it's fun once you get into it.0

Hi! Welcome to My Fitness Pal! My highest weight was 346 and I now weigh 186.
You CAN do it, hang in there! keep an accurate record of food, I approach recipes
with the question of how I can cut back any fat and calories. Will be more than happy
to share recipes and tips anytime. I've been up and down with my weight and finally
on the downhill run. Good Luck!!0 -
Sending you a request! :happy:0

I'm also new here and a little confused about how the friends work. Is there a list somewhere of your friends so you can go directly to their posts?
Need lots of friends too.0
