    welcome. u took the 1st step in making ur life better. a step here and there adds up. just keep marching forward when things get rough. we eventually get thru that sticking point and find another obstacle 2 overcome. it's a journey. one we should enjoy. some days will b better than others. some days we will need more support than others. the finish line is just around the corner 4 all of us. we may not see it...but it's there. every tomorrow is a new day. make the best of it. I wish everyone the best on their journey. I will see all of u at the finish line. together...we will stand and fight. great support makes it easier.

    I'll jump in here! I actually started right after Christmas but before January 1st. I didn't even realize it was a resolution until everyone started pointing it out to me. I didn't jump on MFP right away. I kind of thought "Well I've counted calories before, so i know how much I'm taking." I guess maybe not, so here I am!

    I have been an on again/off again on here and believe me I regret it. I'm really hoping that this will be my year. I'm trying to remember how easy it was for me to put it back on when I gave up. I don't want to do that this time. I've added more friends because the ones I had on here were from real life and are pretty much inactive. I feel like I have a good cheering squad in my section now. I also purchased a food scale and a fitbit. Good lord I had no idea that even when I was eating fairly healthy, I was underestimating my portion sizes and probably didn't have a deficit, or as much of one as I thought.

    Thank you for the encouragement. When I started on the first I was groaning, saying "I hate to be a new year's resolution cliche", but at this point, whatever it took to put me on my path is okay with me. I've lost 10 lbs. this month and a ton of inches. I joined a 12 week challenge at the gym and at that point, I will find something else to challenge me for another 12 weeks, rinse, repeat. One of my goals is to log in here every day this year, and to use my food diary every day.

    " If you had kept going all the times you have quit, you'd be there by now!"

    My mantra and motivational quote right there!

    This ^ 100%.

    If I had kept going when I started back in July last year, I would probably be there by now. But that's ok, because I am here now, trying again. And added motivation is that I need to fit some of my warm clothes before winter!

    Hi I'm new too! Just getting the hang of this and logging everyday so far!!!! I've currently lost 10lbs so over the moon!! Feel free to add me a friend as I need extra support and need some (non judgemental) accountability! Congratulations to everyone so far every loss counts and although you may say its only a lb remember how heavy a bag of lb of sugar is :wink:

    Hi there :)
    I started here a year ago and lost quite a lot of weight. Due to unforeseen circumstances ( and isn't that always the case!) I lost motivation and piled the weight back on, and then some. Now I've sorted my life out, sort of, and am back with more determination than ever. I'm 65 now, so this is probably my last chance to get fit, slim and healthy, not necessarily in that order. I am doing Leslie Sansone Walk at Home workouts every day and following the 5:2 Fast Diet. So far all is going well. Love MFP for all the encouragement, words of wisdom and the knowledge that I am not alone in this Battle of the Bulge :)
