Just found this site!

Hi all

Have just seen a couple of recommendations for this site so thought I would pop on and its already got my motivation levels higher!

I got married last year and am probably a fairly typical case of losing weight for the wedding only for it to sneak back on after, I am joining a gym this weekend with my husband and am hoping that between that and the dieting I will start to see the wedding figure come back and the confidence go up!

Hope to meet a few new friends on the way as well to both get encouragment and give encouragement to.

  • Hi,
    I am here as well to loose weight before my job interview. Hope I loose the 7kgs that my doctor recommends as well :)

    I like this site because it encourages a lifestyle and not a quick fix. I am through with yo-yo stuff. Good luck to you and glad you are here!

  • Good Luck! I love this site, its a great way to develop self discipline, i track EVERYTHING! even if i take one bit of something...so far I've done it for 15 days in a row and I'm going to weigh Friday, i hope to have lost 2 lbs!
  • welcome!! this site is TREMENDOUS, and you will find incredible support here!! you have to put in the work and the effort, but mfp will give you the tools and support you need!! good luck ma'am!!
  • First thing, you aren't dieting. You are changing your lifestyle...from sedentary to active and from not eating well to healthy eating.

    You have support - here and with your husband. Has he joined MFP???? Encourage him to do so, even if he does not have to lose weight. It is a "fitness" site...

    Good luck

    Welcome! It will change your life so long as you are willing to try. Best thing I ever did, quit the gym, get some running shoes, join MFP.

    Hi! I was doing fitbit but I kept losing the damn thing, and finally lost it for good last week. I can't pay $100 every 3 months, but really loved the support -especially seeing my steps rating compared to my friends. I wish I could find something similar-I am buying a regular pedometer and my goal is 15k a day plus exercise 4-5 times a week.

    Is there anything similar on this site? Does anyone want to be friends for motivation? Friend me! Trish
