    Hey T1, I am in the same boat as you. Unfortunately I have about 100 lbs to lose, but right now I am as determined as i've ever been. I've been on this roller coaster before but I really want to do this. I hope I can this time. I found this site two weeks ago and just by tracking my food, doing a bit of walking, and drinking lots of water, I have lost 10 lbs in two weeks! I just need to keep it going I guess.

    I am new as well. I need to lose 60 pounds. I have a hard time staying at it cause to be honest I have no support system. My husband and kid can eat anything and never gain a pound. I weight 190 and would like to get to 130. My family is my whole life so I really dont have many friends. My best friend is a skinny mini so he doesnt need to work out. I really do need people that understand and can give me advice.
    I am working out at the apartment gym, just got an xbox with kinect so i can use that, using right size shakes, and taking lipozene, In the last week i have lost 5 pounds. I just feel goofy working out in front of the family. In fact my husband doesnt even know I go to the gym. I go early while he is sleeping and go after work since I work at the apartments as the manager.
    We have been married 18 years and I still feel goofy about stuff like this.
    I just joined so not sure how to add people. If you would like to add me please do I need help.

    I'm too looking for support & encouragement. I have about 100 lbs to lose. So this time next year I won't feel like I have to hide my fat, since I won't have any to hide!

    Just reading this thread of posts motivated me! Thanks! I started MFP in October and have lost 41 pounds so far. I have another 50 to go. I am not a big fan of exercise but I am much more active now that I have lost some weight. I have health issues related to my weight and I finally made up my mind I was done making excuses. I have not lost any weight the last 5 weeks but I have maintained. I know that I am slipping off the plan because I feel so good. I need to be motivated and encouraged to not settle and keep moving!!
