Reaching that goal!!!

I am 30yrs old, 5 2".Starting weight was 167lbs I have strugled with weight for the last 12 yrs going up and down. I reached a time in my life that I needed to change and become healthier, and who doesn't want to look good. I couldn't look at pictures anymore. I thought I would try with small goals, so I would not get discouraged. I started MFP in Aug after my summer hollidays and have been giving my all. I reached my 1st goal today and I am very happy with the results so far. I have lost 17lbs, next to lose 20 lbs. Feeling better then ever!!!! I can do this! Needing that incouragement and some friends.

    sounds just like me! im about to be 30 and weigh 168. I need motivation as well! my weight is always going up and down. when I told some coworkers I was starting a new "diet" all I heard was, again? lol. they say I am always dieting but the truth is I start and never follow thru. I need some motivation to keep me going! hopefully we can help each other out!

    By the sound of it, you are on the right track.. I've been here around 5 weeks and I started with the attitude that it was going to work, and it is ! A lot of the reason for this is because of people I have met here who have become not only friends, but helpers and encouragers ..
    When you have friends you can help, and they help you it makes the process and journey so much easier.. I'm saying easier, Not Easy ! You must want it and it appears that you do and that's a good thing ! I log daily and my diary is open to my friends.. Add me if you'd like to .. I wish you the best on your journey to become fit and healthy !
    ps.. I'm always looking for new positive friends! Anyone else looking for a friend may add me too ! Please send a short note with your friend request..
