in Introduce Yourself
Hi- I've been active on here for just over a week and I *think* I'm really gonna do it this time. Looking for friends who are active on here to help keep me motivated and accountable! I figure I'm more likely to keep going and watch my calories if I have people checking out my food diary and progress everyday! I have over 100 pounds to lose (yikes) so would love friends who are in the same boat :)

    Hi, break the 100lbs into 5lb or 10lb goals to start with so its not so daunting.

    Lots of encouraging people on here and I like how MFP makes you accountable for what you eat nothing is off limits its just learning to have the right food. Treats are allowed just work them into your calories.

    Exercise - anything is better than nothing so even if you are busy if you can manage a 10 minute walk every day you are helping yourself get fitter and healthier.

    I don't care how long it takes me I just want to be healthy and feel good.

    Good luck on your journey, feel free to add me, I can encourage or nag whatever is required! :wink:

    Hi :)
    I only started few days ago but same as you think/hope I'm going to do it this time.
    I tried many different things to lose weight in last 3 years but no luck so far :( it looks like I just can not stick to anything longer that 3 weeks.... and also believe that if I have a friends who can join me on my mission I will be more successful :)
    need to lose around 100 pounds to.
    Hoe to see you in my friends list soon :)

    Girl, if you look at my history it has been on again off again with me on here. This time I am serious about it too and the motivation on here helps. You can hit me up and we can do this journey together and cheer each other on. There is no reason to go at this alone. So many people struggle by themselves when they don't have to. Come on over and lets get it done!

    You can do it! I have to lose something in the range of 50 lbs. I have lost a few with myfitnesspal. Was off the wagon for a bit, but I am back on again. I've requested you as a friend. :)
