in Introduce Yourself
Decided to give MFP another go around. Tried the website out awhile back but my computer crashed and got off track. Now I have a computer again and get to start over....again. Just looking for some other people to keep the motivation alive. Friend requests greatly appreciated :)

    Hi there! I'm also starting over again (used MFP before, but I didn't dedicate myself to it, and I didn't reach out to the community here, so I sort of gave up), and I've got over 100lbs to lose as well.

    Will send you along a FR. Maybe we can keep each other motivated! :)

    Definitely adding you up! I gave up the website years ago and decided to go again, now with 108 lbs to lose.

    Hello ladies, also redoing MFP, also got over 100 pounds to lose. Very daunting! Keep wanting to start, but keep feeling scared of failing again :-( Planning to start tomorrow though. Good luck to you both!

    I'm quite depressed now about it since I've gained another 25 pounds. This is going to be rough, but at least I've started playing Quidditch so it should be a little easier.

    it can be done, try not looking at the whole picture, instead, tell yourself for today, i will make better choices, log my food and get some exercise. If in a week, you have lost a mere pound and are 99 pound overweight, that's better than being 100 pounds overweight.


    and finally, why start tomorrow?

    Hello all :) seems that many of us have been on here before and are now returning - me too! Im looking to lose about 50 lbs. im scared, its intimidating to think of such a lifestyle change, but i know i need to do it. Adding some exercis, im starting but cutting calories seems nearly impossible. I feel like ill be hungry all the time. :( but others on here have done it so i can do it too! Friend me anyone - i need all the support i can get, as we all do! :)

    Same here. Tried this app on and off for 2 years and when I count what I eat-I lose. I have 50 to lose but I am only telling myself 20 at a time to make it seem not so overwhelming! Coming on here for support. Tired of not having accountability. The hard part for me is sticking to ANYTHING. If I can just use the app everyday I can be successful! So hoping to get motivation and support on here! Lets do this!!!!!

    I relate to all of your posts. New to MFP but ready to give it a go starting tomorrow. I have over 100 lbs to lose and need some support. I am reaching out because I feel I really need help. My weight has become a health issue for me. I am tired, aching, and at times very depressed. My weight makes me feel as though I am not good enough and not taken seriously. The only thing holding me back from this is me. Any friends to go along with me on this journey would be much appreciated.

    Hi! Add me! Everyone! Anyone! :) I would love to help provide support and motivation, and I could use some as well!

    The thing I keep reminding myself about weight loss is the same thing that I told myself when I quit smoking (twice) and got so out of shape: "I'm still learning how to do this. I need help, and I need to be nice to myself about it. This is tough, but I can see the path."

    You can do it!

    To get the Ticker click on Apps tab above. Then when you get to that page you will see the Tickers tab. Click on that to create your ticker. I asked the same question before and no one replied, finally found it myself

    100+ for me also! I have been on and off of this site for a couple of years. I'd never had friends on here, just people I really knew but few used the site. I am getting on the forums and blogs now and it's soooo much nicer having this support system!

    Anyone, please feel free to add me!

    Hey all,

    I also have about 45 kilo to loose (I think that's 100lb?) anyhow it's a lot. I'm currently 112 kg and I want to be 60 kg.

    I've not been in the right mind space for a while now but need to get off my butt and do something aobut it as I refuse to buy bigger clothes. Also all my friends are skinny so I don't feel that they really understand how hard this is for me.

    I've plotted my food for the rest of the week and printed it out and am going to put it on the fridge at home. Any friend requests will be accepted.

    Thanks :)
