    Just focus on your objective and you will be able to do it. I have lost 41 pounds in 4 months cutting carbs, sugar and working out 5 times per week. Is possible you can do it.

    Hello Mary

    I lost my brother last year and I know how hard it is to set your life on track and make positive changes in your life after such a catastrophic event. When you're depressed it's as if you're subconsciously determined to sabotage yourself at every turn, so it's such a a great think that you're seeking out the support of others during this difficult time. I feel I'm in a similar place in a way and have sent you a friend request.

    Hello Mary....so very awesome that you are taking positive steps to lose the weight you want to lose. I am on week two of getting back on the journey...day 3 of connecting with MFP members and it had made a world of difference having the support. My DW doesn't always say no either so I understand what you mean. Feel free to add me and I will do my part to keep you encouraged. Take care.

    Hi there! So sorry about your loss. I can't imagine how it is to lose your mom. ((hugs)) I'm on here a couple times a day logging and showing support to all my friends. I'm 31 years old and started MFP a few years ago weighing in at 237lbs (my heaviest). I'm always looking for motivated pals who will show me support as well with open diaries.

    Hi!

    I read your post on the "highest Weight in my life" comments. I am 36, and 213 and freaking scared about loosing weight (not being able to do it). How in the world did you manage to lose so much in 8 months?? thanks!

    Hi Marry, I am glad to hear you are getting back up from your fall, and the fact that you want to do something about it is already a huge step. My advice would be to use MFP to log in absolutely everything you eat and each exercise you make, that's what helped me in the past and still does. For example, it used to put me off eating a lot of biscuits when I saw how many calories they have and how much more exercise I should make to burn them off instead of working on burning the calories to lose the weight. Slowly but surely I got from eating less and less to eating just what I needed and working my way to the bikini body. Trust yourself you can do it, because you can, and when you think you can't come on here and we will remind you why you can do it! I wish you best of luck and I hope you succeed.
    PS: Of course, feel free to add me:)

    Hi there, feel free to add me. I'm a mom of young kids too, started right about where you are, about 20% done with the amount I want to lose, so still a long way to go!

    Hi!

    My name is Mary and I am 35 years old. At 222 pounds I am the highest weight I have EVER been. This past Saturday I went up and down a water slide with my Kid's Ministry Kids and could only do it about 6 times before I was spent. My weight is affecting everything! My overall mood, my clothes, my feet.....everything.

    I used myfitnesspal in 2011 and 2012 to help me lose weight. Then in September of 2012 my world took a turn for some not so great events in my life. My Mom passed in January 2013 and I stayed in a very depressed state until May of this year. Finally pulling out of my depression I am trying to motivate myself to get back on track and lose the weight and get healthy. I just need support. While my DH tries to support me he doesn't do a great job at telling me no.

    I need the accountability......I need support!

    Please help me!

    Thanks in advance

    ~M~ aka Mary

    Hi Mary:

    I had my epiphany on June 19, at a whopping 419 pounds. And I have made the commitment to turn myself around.

    I have as much to lose as you weigh. And I will do it.

    If you add me as a friend I will be there for you, day by day, offering encouragement as you need it.

    You can do anything you put your mind to. Where there is a will, there is a way.

    I'm here if you need me! I started at 218 with MFP, and I'm currently down to 184. I think we have similar goals, and starting points so I'm here for any encouraging or accountability you may need! Even if it's a daily message. :P

    ps. That pretty much goes for any one else that wants to add me! :) I'm super friendly, and love seeing everyone's blog posts and updates. :)
