    welcome. this a great site and works if you stay with it. Do not focus on your main goals set your sights every 10 pounds or so. Enjoy the little victories like when you clothes get baggy or you can do little things. Be patient when you hit times when your weight slows. Remember not to be hard on yourself when you slip, we all have. Good luck:flowerforyou:

    I have a very long way to go to meet my ultimate goal weight of 150#, but I've lost 22# in ~10 weeks. I log every day, try to exercise at least 30 minutes/day, and my diary is open. Feel free to friend me if you want.

    Hi! Welcome to MFP! This site is really great and so is the motivation and support that you get from others on here. I started here with 165 pounds to lose and am pretty darn sure that I would not have lost what I have so far (or gotten back on the bandwagon every time I fell off.. ) if it wasn't for MFP.

    Good luck on your journey and you are welcome to add me :)

    I am in the same boat. I have over 100lbs. to lose. I have always battled with my weight, but in the last few years, I let it win without a fight. I would like to be your weight loss buddy. We all need someone to help us be accountable. :happy:

    As a longtime user of the iPhone App: "myfitnesspal" (Free), I can attest to its key roll in assisting me in reducing my caloric intake through recording the things I eat at each meal. The App allows you to scan barcodes on food products, so you can closely monitor the number of calories you consume at each and every meal and snacks. Its "Search" element will allow you find all food items from its vast database of food items. It is easy to use, and I recommend it as you begin your weight control effort.

    First, see your doctor and let them know you are going to start a diet (let them suggest the types of food to include in your daily diet). Also, download the free APP "BMI" (Body Mass Index). You enter your height and weight, and it calculates your BMI and indicates what your healthy weight should be. It's a good one!

    Additionally, I recommend the APP: "Digifit" (Free). This app uses it's GPS element to record the distance you walk, calories burned, time and distance, and presents you with a map showing where your exercise started and ended. Be Bold! These Apps help you to measure your diet and exercise plan. Just do it, and let our group know how you are doing. Any questions? Send an email to: richardobbsr@comcast.net
