Hi everyone, I'm here in Indiana and am really struggling with the thought that this is it, and this is just how I am....I know I can be better than this. Thanks for listening. Holly

    None of us have to be stuck where we are. People transform themselves all the time and we are no different. Feel free to put in a friend request if you want. :flowerforyou:

    Hi!

    I've been logging and tracking since the first of the year (or close to it) and would love to be (and have) an accountability partner! How do we set it up? I haven't connected with anyone on here as of yet.

    Congratulations on getting started. The very fact that you're on here shows that you have what it takes to change :smile:

    Hey! I just sent you a friend request....
    I am confident that you can do this. Just start with small steps. Log your food, go for a walk, and stay on MFP.
    You have already made yourself vulnerable, by asking for help. I totally respect that!
    This is the time it is going to work for you. Truly.

    I think we all face days where we feel that way. The difference is now you recognize it and that can stop you from making it an excuse. Change is a minute by minute, day by day thing. Trust me. I lost over 50 lbs before and then let 40 of itl come back - talk about berating myself and throwing in the towel for too long :(. BUT, it doesn't matter what I did in the past because I can't change that. All I can do is worry about now, today. I'm totally up for new friends and accountability partners. Support is a big help :)

    I have lost over 60 lbs since I started back in August of 2013. The support from others does help makea difference.
    You are on the right track by having the positive attitude to make a change.
    It is a lifestyle change.

    I will add you. I am not new on MFP, but rejoined recently and would like some friends that will interact with me and encourage me to stick to the plan. I went to a gym induction today and found that I have high blood pressure and a high resting heart rate at 33 - not good!

    Anyone else wanting support feel free to add me too :wink:

    Hi dear, I'm a returning MFP member. Please feel free to add me as well. I'd love to help and could always use more accountability myself. We have to remain positive even in the face of frustrating circumstances. There is always something positive on the other side!

    :) Liz

    I'll add you too. I have been on MFP for awhile but I have never used the message board. It's great to see other people working so hard though.. it keeps me from feeling lazy!

    Hello everyone! I have used this app a few times. I love it, I just don't have any friends :sad: I really want to be a success story and want to show everybody that they can lose weight. I currently lost fifty pounds last year and I gained thirty back, because of this darn winter weather, needed something to keep me warm... Jk that a horrible excuse. I have no excuse for gaining it back, but I do want people to know that if I can lose it then so can you!! Please add me and I will make sure to be inspiring and help in anyway possible!!! Weight loss is possible!! Its hard work, and its well worth it!!:happy:

    I would love an accountability partner!! I'm at my heaviest and frankly I'm not ok with it. My two days on here so far I've been over my count, but I'm heading to do yoga and a bit of running!! Hopefully it'll bring me back down to my goal. So anyway, hi!

    Hi, I think I am with you on that! How do you maintain your determination through the week. Full of fight on Monday but by Thursday the fridge opens its arms and says "We love you the way you are!" Oh dear....

    I do great all day, then come home starving and want to eat everything in the kitchen! I used to smoke at this time of day, gave that up 10' years ago, but it's still the worst part of the day for me. I have one day, usually Sunday that is my FREE day.
