    Hi everyone. I'm in that same mind frame. I've been battling my weight for a while now and have now started having health issues. I need to get mine under control so I can be here for my kids too and set a better example for them. I'm fully confident I can do it....once I get started. Starting seems to always be the hardest part for me.

    Motivation comes from within. YOU have to really want it. Motivated people don't let obstacles get in their way. Though people can encourage you, unless you commit to it yourself, all the encouragement in the world won't motivate you any more than you want to .

    Once you get rolling it'll be really hard to stop! Just gotta think of all the reasons you're doing it - for your family, for yourself. Being healthy is addictive, you're gonna love it :flowerforyou:

    you can add me if you like, i'm all about being positive!

    Ninerbuff's exactly right. The motivation for me came from getting diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes last year. I started making changes and stayed committed to those changes. Today I'm down nearly 50 pounds! If you need more positivity, just send a friend request. :flowerforyou:

    Hello! I am relatively new to MFP. I've been using the food and exercise tracker but hadn't really figured the rest of it out yet. I'm just reaching out to see about connecting with other people who are also trying to get healthy. I sent friend requests to a couple of people but it apparently offended them because they don't know me. I'm not sure how this all works.

    Hi - Have a few questions. How do we add people? I have fallen off the band wagon so many times, I'm bruised from top to toe. But, I've been looking for some motivation and have decided I need to begin again. So if I need to add people or let people add me to try to keep the motivation going, I'm all for it.

    Thanks! :)
