I recently found this website and started this weight loss journey (again)...I am so happy to have a tool like this to use, I hope it helps! I am definitely struggling already. I want to be done playing the games and just do it already! I have two young children who need me around for a long time and I would love to take this opportunity and turn it into something positive for them, so we can all be healthier! Any support would be greatly appreciated!

    I'm fairly new to MFP as well, and I absolutely love it! Everyone on this site is so positive and motivating, it really helps me to stay on track.. especially when I start losing focus of my goals. I'm sure you will love it as well. Welcome and good luck! :)

    Thank you...I am going to try and get involved with other members as I think that will really help me! Unfortunately I think it will be a little hard at first because I am shy at first and nervous about what people will think of me.
    This is my first step!
    Thanks again!!

    You can do it! Ok, forget about your kids for a second!
    So as parents we are so giving, so attentive to our childrens every need...
    If you really love them you will focus on yourself a little bit more.
    Try being a little selfish for once, care about yourself, think about YOU.
    Your kids can go without for a minute. One day at a time, fight fight fight!!!
    Take care!!!

    Welcome aboard! Just a little reminder....most of us are here because we are at the same place you are so please don't feel shy;) I'd love to be your friend and we can encourage each other! If you look at my profile I think we may be pretty similar. I've set some mini goals as well as the big one. This site is a godsend. Takes all of the work out of journaling the food;) And even better is if you can find a few minutes to get out and take a walk or ride a bike or swim when you put in the exercise it shows the amount of calories that you burned. Boy does that ever make it worthwhile. So I'm glad you're here and good luck in your journey:)
