Hi, Thanks for adding me to this group..I am new here to mfp only been here about 2 weeks, but I love it so far...I have found so many great people here to help keep me motivated...I have 100+ pounds to lose, but I know I can do it with all of these wonderful people cheering me on...I have done so many weight loss programs in the past and I really have never felt the support from any of them like I do here...I know I have a long journey ahead of me but I am determined that this will happen...I have 2 beautiful kids who are my heart and soul so I am doing this for me and for them..also I was diagnosed to hbp recently and I am on medication so before any other health problems arise I want to get this weight under control...thanks again and good luck to all

Don't worry, we will be here to keep you motivated every step of the way. I have to lose about 100 pounds as well. The last time I lost a significant amount of weight I found that keeping a photo journal of my weight-loss was a huge motivator for me. I did the before picture on the day I started and every week I would take another picture. When you step on the scale and see that you've lost 5 pounds in a week its motivating for the rest of the day but when you can look at a picture and see the weight-loss you can re-motivate yourself every day. When I did it I would post the picture from that week as my profile picture but I know not everyone is that comfortable, but even a personal photo record will be extremely motivational.0
