:flowerforyou: this IS MY DAY ONE OF MY NEW CHAPTER. I have been battling my weight all my life. I have reached a point in my life that seems to be difficult to lose weight. I dont have the motivation that I had a few years ago. I have gained 100 pounds in over a 1 1/2 years and THIS is my last resort to save myself. I have tried everything but unfortunately I haven't had the willpower to begin again.

I need support from people that are going through this same battle. Weightloss is the hardest thing I have ever attempted to do because it isn't a diet that we need to follow its a life style change. It's not something we can quit; its something we have to follow for the rest of our lives.

:flowerforyou: Please add me and we can help each begin a new chapter in our lives: HEALTHY AND FIT:smile:

    I would love to buddy up with you! Growing up I was healthy, but once I hit my late teens I gained a lot of weight very quickly. I've never had any motivation to lose any weight because I really don't have any friends. ( Mom of two small kids, no time! )

    We can start this together, my goal is to lose 100lbs as well!

    Don't give up! Sounds cliche, I know, but it's seriously the best advice. I started my trek to lose ~80lbs back in November and am almost there. I have lost 61 lbs so far and am still trucking along. It hasn't been easy, by any means, and I know you will have moments of doubt, trial, and tribulation. Don't worry, you can make it if you just keep yourself focused on the prize!

    Whatever support I can give, I will! Keep it up!

    Good for you. My goal is about half that - to lose 50 pounds-but it's a struggle no matter how much you want to lose. You are right - its a lifestyle change and you are in the right place for support! :happy:

    Hi everyone! I started MFP a little while ago, but never really stuck to it. Started a more active lifestyle as of 4/20 and trying to keep up with MFP (7 days thus far)...please add me, would love more support, tips, encouragement!

    One of my favorite quotes when a task seems too monumentous: "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." ...forget looking at the whole picture...just concentrate on the part you're nibbling at. Before you know it, that damn elephant will be a thing of the past and your goal will be to move on to eat up some other big ol' obstacle in your way!!!

    You can do this!! We got you!

    I've been doing this for a little while now, but it's been just recently I've really committed and it's been going well. The support I get from people here really helps, so I hope it does for you as well! I gained all my weight slowly over my whole life, but I have a ton to lose, so I'll certainly be here for awhile :)
