Hi everyone! I joined in the past and only lasted a few days. Feeling motivated again though as I'm close to my all-time high (224 right now, 5'9"). :cry: I'm reaching out to get some support so I can start with a good foundation. I am 37 and have three kids (10, 7, 4). I have a wonderfrul boyfriend who also wants to get healthy (he has Celiac, so I'd love to connect with anyone doing this Gluten Free too). I'm debating about getting the UP24 (like fitbit) to help me track activity and keep me motivated. So I'd love to hear from anyone doing something similar to that too. I am really wanting to change my lifestyle, not just my diet and I plan to drag my family along with me :wink: Please send me a friend request if you'd like to connect!

    Hi I've tired MFP before and was the same lasted maybe a week. This time I am active with the friends I met on here and participate in some of the group challenges which keep me motivated and accountable. It has really helped, I'm 5' 3" starting weight in July was 252, I'm currently at 226. Long way to go but the people on here have been very motivating.

    I have also purchased a fit bit that I love to keep track of my activity. Good luck on your journey, you can do it! Feel free to friend me if you would like.

    Anyone here,

    Please feel free to add me. I am on every day and am highly motivated. I do low carb so I eat gluten every once in a while by not much. I have been on and off of here plenty of times but making friends has made a world of difference to me. Click my name by my picture and it will give you the option to send a message or a friend request.

    I'm new as well (or at least new to acutally using MFP) I sent requests to all on this post.

    I'm just going into week 3 and am getting a little more comfortable with the site.

    I love the fact that you can put in your own recipe and calculate the nutritional value. This is helping me tremendously because I like to cook.
