in Introduce Yourself
Hey, all. I've been here a few weeks, but didn't know if I was actually gonna use this site or, like I've done with other attempts at losing weight, I was going to play with it for a while and then lose my resolution.

Well, I'm still here and you guys rock! I have to lose so much weight, it's going to be like losing a whole person! Seriously! I've lost a few pounds and, I have to say, I've done it because of this great community. The first time I hadn't logged on for three days, I got a message from a great member asking where I was! I WAS BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE! Holy poo! Okay, I thought, I really have to buckle down and do this.

Thank you for your support... for your encouraging words when I have little triumphs... for helping me back on the wagon when I've fallen.

Pssst... ready? Okay... RUN! Let's leave this tag-along in the dust!

    You go, girl! Shake off the guilt of past failure and embrace your successful new self. You can get all the motivation you need/want here for sure. We are all behind you to push you back up onto the wagon should you fall off. (may need you to push me back on from time to time as well)

    I look forward to watching your transformation. I would be glad to help in any way I can.

    Glad you are here!

    Congrats on weight loss and the effort!!! Yes this is truly a wonder support system on MFP! I love it. When you feel like throwing in the towel, someone is there to nudge you not to. You will do great!! Just Presevere, be Patient, and be very positive. Forgive yourself when you slide backwards. No one is perfect. It is all abount consistency, not perfection.

    Thanks... I sounded totally selfish. I'll be here for you all, as well. I'll make it a point to try logging on daily to post and check up on all my friends here. I'm so hooked on my iPhone that I forget to sometimes!

    Girl, I feel ya! Way to stay motivated! I've been needing to get plugged in to this site too! I struggle to stay motivated especially with a husband who doesn't have the same motivation or desire to lose the extra lbs!

    Way to go!

    Welcome!! I'm there, too - 20 lbs down toward my final goal of losing 135 lbs. It totally is possible. Log in every day, track your food & water & exercise. Read the discussion boards. It keeps me motivated and interested.

    Cheers!!

You can do this......WE can do this together. One of my favorite sayings is "just keep putting one foot in front of the other". Kepp coming back, we"ll get there.

    Hi, count me as another one who's trying to lose a whole person. I checked out your profile and I don't know whether to feel bad for you or insanely jealous of you if you have a mom that knows how to make great Mexican food....yummmmmmmm. Anyway, I'm old enough to be your mom and then some, but please feel free to add me as a friend if you want more friends in the same boat. You seem to have a great sense of humor and I love that-- plus I think it helps to have a sense of humor and good self esteem when you're trying to make some major life changes.
