    Just sent you a friend request. I have used MFP in the past but never really got involved with the community or anything. So I'm going to try that out this time to see if I have better success! Good luck!

    Hi, I just joined today, but I am no stranger to weight loss (and gain!). Over the years, I have lost 75 pounds, gained back 150; lost 75 pounds, gained back 60 ... the numbers can be depressing but the main thing is to focus on your health. I know the time it takes to lose the weight sounds daunting, but I tell myself this: it may take three years for me to reach my goal if I follow my plan. But how much will I weigh in three years if I don't follow the plan? Besides, if you're going to keep the weight off, you'll have to change your lifestyle--forever. So don't think of it as "I have to be on a diet for a year"; think of it as "I'm changing my lifestyle permanently, starting now." You can do it!

    Welcome aboard! Remember, it is 1lb at at a time! Not 80, or 50, or 10, but just 1lb at a time. Just as you can only deal with 1 hurdle at a time. Think baby steps, and I am sure you will have it beaten

    Like many people on here I have struggled for years with yo yo dieting and loosing weight then putting it back on. I started to loosely count calories about 8 weeks ago and I lost 7 pounds in 4 weeks. I was frustrated as I felt like I needed a better result, although to be fair 7llbs is a great start.
    I have now been doing the fast 5:2 diet for 3 weeks and I lost 7 llbs the first week, had a bad week and lost 1.5llbs and then last week another 8llbs!
    I have been very strict with myself and have restricted my calories to 500 on the fast days and 1200 on the other days, it was a little hard in the first week but im really getting into the swing of things now and am determined to keep it going!

    I just need to start with the exercise as I am noticing things getting a little loose and need a bit of work!

    If anyone has any hints and tips on how to get started with this I would be most grateful.

    Look forward to reading about everyones journeys!

    So much great info in this tread! I need to read some of it again to absorb it better. Is there any way I can go back and change any of the initial info that I put in? Not just the stuff it brings up when you go into goals and change them.
