Hi everyone. I heard about this site by word of mouth from someone who lost a lot of weight using it. I hope to encourage others and be encouraged myself. I am 30 years old and have a long journey of over 200 lbs to lose. I am tired of wishing it would go away and steadily gaining. I am under the supervision of a doctor now and beginning a low calorie diet with vigorous exercise. I am determined not be like this forever. I want to FEEL my age, not decades older.

Well welcome to the site! I know it will help you a LOT It's been a life-saver for me. It's actually kind of fun logging in everyday and figuring out my calories. I try to look at it like a game, and that makes it that much easier to do. Good luck! 0

You can do it! It's a one meal at a time, one day at a time. If you mess us one meal, don't let it affect your whole day! Just log it and move on. I have about 150-180 lbs to lose, so I completely understand. Feel free to add me and I will encourage, motivate and keep you accountable.0

You can do it! It's not magic, you have to put in the work and lose it slowly, but you'll start to learn how to change your how outlook on life and eating!
Just take it one day at a time and don't give up! You are in control of your life! 0 -
go get em kid, I am closing in on 100 so you cannnnnnnn do it. Just be patient, honest with yourself and fight through the ups and downs.0

Way to go...you're my inspiration!0

Just take each day at a time. Try not to focus on the big picture - or the big goal - break down into smaller goals. Add as many friends as you can to your support circle - this will help you figure out who will help motivate you and you them - build good relationships and it doesnt feel so lonely.
Best Wishes!!

Hi Cindy!
Welcome to the site! MFP works if you work it! You will love it here. I am not one of those who is going to say it is easy. It is not but it is acheivable. One of my many tools is NEVER giving up like you have probably done in the past when the going gets tough.
We did not gain the weight overnight and it will not leave over night. Have a good week and think positive thoughts and believe you can do it and you will.
Hugs,
Mollie0 -
