I remember when I tried MFP the first time....I couldn't bring myself to commit. I easily got discouraged.

I LOVED and envied the tickers for people that said 100lbs lost, 60lbs lost, hell even 10lbs lost.

I told myself I would reward myself if I could just stick with it and this week I got a ticker that says 13lbs LOST. When you have 100+ to go it may not sound like much......but for me it is AMAZING. I can't wait to join the 20's the 30's and eventually the triple digits. CONGRATS to all of you and thank you for motivating me to keep on keeping on!:smile:

    My ticker has gone up and down as my weight does the same. I'll do a happy dance when mine says "10 lbs lost"!
    Way to go!

    I do my ticker 20 lbs at a time. Once I lose the first 20 lbs I'll make it go up to 40. That definitely helps me from feeling defeated.
