Just to say hi. I'm new around here. I've managed to loose 70lbs over the past 18 months and some how learned to enjoy the challenge. But now with only 14lb to go things have tailed off a bit and I'm struggling to stick with it. So here I am, hoping to get some inspiration to spur me on!

    Wow! 70 lbs! Congrats! Yes, please share your strategies! And we love before/during/after pictures around here too!

    I know that I am committing to use this website daily..no matter how bad it is, to track all my calories and exercise. Use the message boards to your advantage- there are people here with a wealth of knowledge to share (as I'm sure you have a lot to contribute with your own success.)

    70ibs is a huge achievement!!!!
    Re: Sticking with it - that's the key, isn't it? Something I'm not very good at, unfortunately!
    But I am hoping MFP will help me to find the motivation to stick with it - you clearly have sticking power to be able to lose so much weight over a period of 18 months - well done!!
    May I ask, how did you learn to enjoy the challenge, rather than feeling overwhelmed by it? I would love to know...
    :wink:
