Hello all! I'm new to this. I've been trying to lose weight for awhile. I'm looking to lose 60+ pounds. I need some motivation and people who will kick me into gear! Thanks!

    Seems that there are a lot of us newbies here, please free to friend me after you have seen my profile. I try to be supportive as so many others here do. It's a long journey, but the fact that a decision was made by all of to start then that is really its first step.

    Welcome to MFP,!

    The most important thing that I have found is that I have had t reeducate myself regarding the type of food I eat and to understand that there is no quick fix. It has to be a lifestyle change. You have taken the most difficult step and that was that you realized you had to take back your life.

    Cheerz,

    hi there, ive been doing this for a week now, so will help and encourage as much as i can friend request sent :)

    Please understand that it may take some time before you start seeing changes. Like many others may tell you - try to stay away from processed foods - they can really hold one's progress back. It may take some time for your body to also clear your system of toxins. I went through an 18 day process a number of years ago when I first tried to start eating healthier. It helped me keep my weight down. But it will have to be a lifestyle change if you want to see long term and lasting results.

    Best of luck! :)
