    I am in! I have over 150 pounds to lose. I've been on this journey for the past year, but in the middle of a divorce, a bankruptcy, on top of moving across the US, and a major surgery within the year...I have been derailed a bit. Time to get back to focusing on me and my health.

    I'm in too! I have about 120 to lose and have needed to lose it for a long time. I lost motivation when things got tough....lost my job, etc, and although I'm still struggling in a lot of areas, I really feel like if I focus on the things that matter (my health for one), the rest of it will fall into place or at least I will begin to feel better about all of it instead of feeling lost. I'm an emotional eater, which is terrible!

    Ive been here since July 22 2013. Have logged in and logged my food every single day since. This website works IF YOU WORK IT. Never give up. Know that that are worth it and take baby steps every day to get to your goal. My losses are so slow now, probably 2-3 pounds a month even but im still truckin along. Anyone can feel free to add me. I'm not going anywhere. Im staying right here because I know that it works. Just be honest with your logging. Try super hard to make better decisions 80-90% of the time and you will succeed. Good luck because I personally know how hard it is. Its simple. Simple math, calories in vs calories out. BUT ITS HARD. You have to be focused, have patience, work hard, move your body, eat veggies. LOL. but have fun and dont look at it as a diet, i know i dont. this is a lifestyle. this is just me now.

    I'm all in. I used this site along with dieting & exercise and ended up losing 50 in four months, so I can attest that with the right support system, it can work. Count me in and add me.

    I am not sure how to add friends etc on here. I am not on facebook but I need help as well. Just reading the few messages that were posted have helped encourage me. I started my fitness pal awhile back and did it for a couple of days. Had some tragic things to deal with the past year and still dealing with them somewhat. I need to lose 100-120 lbs. I am 55 and having some knee problems the last few months. My doctor said I will have to have a replacement but wants me to wait until I am in my 60s. In the mean time I have to get the weight off.

    I know we can do this!!
    After all, its the only body that we will ever have!

    Any of you looking at/have had weight loss surgery?

    I would be lying if I said it hasn't crossed my mind, but I know people who have had both gastric bypass and lap band and it only worked temporarily. Initially they did well, but after about a year- back to old eating habits. A former coworker even had gastric bypass and then after gaining back about 50 lbs went back to have a revision and is again above her ideal weight. My cousin and his wife had lap band done and are now heavier than before the surgeries.
    I also know people who have had success and are maintaining. It ultimately comes down to relationship with food. It is a life saver for some. But it is still hard work.
    So for me rather than having surgery, I decided to change my relationship with food. Surgery will not help me with my emotional/ boredom eating.

    I have heard both good and bad results with the surgeries as well. I am scheduled to have the "sleeve" next week. I have heard some great things. I am also in a complicated relationship with food. I have to be on a liquid diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery. I am currently on day 8 of my liquid diet. The first few days, I was so hungry/emotional/cranky......I felt like I had lost my best friend... Now I am feeling much better. I know there is a thin person somewhere in there. I always joke that if I was thin, I would never wear clothes....so God made me chubby to keep me out of jail for running the streets nude....hahahaha!!

    I began the pre op diet June 4th, 2014 and had sleeve surgery September 23, 2014. I have lost 100 pounds since surgery and a total of 120 since last June. I still have another 100 to lose but I am confident I can reach my goal. For me, the most important thing is counting calories and carbs and every bite is recorded on MYFITTNESSPAL. I gave up bread, pasta and rice and it really hasn't been too difficult. Now, I am dealing with sagging skin and considering plastics when I reach my goal. The sleeve has changed my life:)
