Starting over again... need some friends

Hi everyone! My name is Lucy and this is probably my 100th time starting over on the road to getting healthy. I've always been the "big girl" and have never been able to lose the weight not matter how hard I diet! But this time its different, Im doing this by myself not because someone is pressuring me to do it, and Im not dieting Im actually eating healthier. I have over 150+ pounds to lose and doing this by myself means I really need some friends that are going through the same journey and who understand. I would love some friends to help motivate me and who I can encourage too :)

    Feel free to add me. Every journey looks a little different but as long as we are over all moving in the same direction, the little details aren't so important. Good luck and I hope you can find lots of little things to keep you going.

    Hi Lucy!

    Add me too, I am on again, off again with the weight loss motivation, but I can sure try!

    Both of my "babies" are currently serving their country, so I would love to surprise them with a new physique!

    We can do this!!!

    Hi Lucy! I am Kellie and this is my first time posting and sticking with a weight loss/healthier lifestyle change ever! I am trying to loose 100lbs myself. I know it is hard thing to undertake, but we can do it. I have going on 72 days with myfitnesspal. I had knee surgery in January of this year, so my exercise program is just walking, the best that I can and for as long as I can. I have lost 13lbs so far! I walk everyday and watch what I eat. I try to eat as healthy as possible. I get frustrated that I don't loose weight overnight, but I didn't put on overnight either. I heard a great quote that keeps me going, "I am not fat, I have fat, just like I have a fingernail, so I am not a fingernail!" I know it sounds corny, but it is true. We are NOT what we have! Keep up the good work, keep trying! I know I do! Feel free to contact me any time! :tongue:
