    Hi Everyone! I have about 75+ to lose and I would love to have more support and support others as well.
    I have used Weight Watchers on and off for years and I have already found more success with MFP in this short time I have been on here than all of those other times with WW. I truly believe in this program!

    Hey, I'm Sue. I'm 52 years old and I had 100 + to loose when I started Feb. 2012. I'm loosing slowly but will win the race! :bigsmile: I couldn't put down that I needed to loose anymore than 100lbs then. Even though I knew I needed to loose about 125. It was a head thing not agreeing with reality lol! I'm here everyday, continual logging for over 500. I love this site and atribute all my success to it! If anyone wants to encourag and be encouraged just send me a note with a freind request! Just a note, one day at a time, keeping a positive attitude! Everyday isn't going to be perfect, so don't beat yourself up! Just decide everyday that today is a new day and you can do it!

    What I have found to be the most important thing in weight loss is to not be negative or down on yourself. It can be really hard. You'll go a whole week and look the same in the mirror. You'll get angry and depressed. You'll cheat on your diet some days, and you'll want to just keep eating since you already blew through your daily calories. Whenever you fail for a day, or more do not use this an as a negative reason to quit. When you start you won't be able to stick to working out 10 minutes a day or whatever your goal is. Don't use this as an excuse to quit, or get down on yourself. It's not going to be overnight.

    It's just a roadblock on the highway and you will go through it and around it. Don't use one failure to quite this lifestyle change.

    The biggest thing I've learned, is to be positive. Tell yourself you love yourself every single day in the mirror. You're beautiful and you love yourself so much that you're going to change your lifestyle.

    The reason MFP works is because it allows you to see changes in your lifestyle everyday. Normal diets and exercise are hard because it takes weeks before you see visual results. At least with MFP you have something to look at and compare to. You can see that you're doing better each day. And then one day a few months from now you'll wake up and realize you look different in the mirror.

    Don't be hard on yourself, don't be cruel to you. Just keep going even if you have a bad day and cheat, a bad week. Be honest to my fitness pal every single day :-)

    Cheers and good luck. Love to everyone.

    Hi everyone, I have 70+ to lose and could really do with the support!!
    I have tried it on here before, but only really used the food diary and although I managed to lose some weight, when the weight loss started slowing down I lost interest and ended up putting it all back on!!! I'm hoping this time that with the help of these forums and some support, I can keep up the motivation to lose weight!!!

    Feel free to add me!! Need all the support I can get and support others!!

    You should be able to hold yourself accountable.

    Why even comment on this thread? The topic title is literally, "....Looking for SUPPORT and ACCOUNTABILITY." To the original poster, feel free to add me. I'm down 50 and have another 100 to go!

    You should be able to hold yourself accountable.

    Self accountability. Self motivation. Self discipline.

    No one can lose the weight for you; it's YOUR work that will get you there.

    Hi! I'm looking for some additional friends for additional motivation and accountability, feel free to add me! :) My #1 goal right now is to focus on eating healthy, getting exercise (walking), and logging EVERYTHING! It's definitely more fun to have cheerleaders to support you on your journey :)

    Hello, My name is Michelle and I have 145 lbs to lose. I am really ready this time. I have been trying for about 3 years now to get my weight down. I have eaten my feelings and came up with every excuse I could think of. I am done with the excuses I am ready to be healthy I am hoping I can keep this attitude until I reach my goal weight. I recently found out that my family and friends have been behind me the whole time so I really wanted to do this for me. I am here for you and I could really use more support to but don't worry I have your back. :happy:

    I'm looking for others with any amount of weight to lose who are willing to offer support and accountability.

    I'm doing a 90 day accountability challenge, which you'd be more than welcome to join. We'll be checking in with each other about exercise and dietary habits, chatting about what is and isn't working for us, etc. You can join at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/18326--no-short-cuts-90-day-challenge if you'd like. We'd love to have you :smile: Also, feel free to add me. I'm usually hanging around in whatever free time I have.
