I just joined today so my little froggy on my ticker hasn't moved at all, but while reading through other posts and everything, it's SO nice to see so many tickers with anywhere from "1 LBS lost" to "100+ LBS lost" because it makes me feel like this really is a good community for motivation and staying on track. I am excited about the calorie counter and I hope I can keep up with counting calories and keeping track of my workouts. It's hard for me to meet a goal alone because, in a way, I think I need to be "watched," you know? Like, if no one knows that I'm not losing weight then "oh well." I think being a part of this community will help me feel watched and motivated by others with similar goals. I can't wait until my froggy ticker starts hopping towards my goal weight :)

What about everyone else; how do you stay on track? Other than using MFP, of course. Do you have a friend/partner to eat and work out with, or are you going it alone?

P.S. I don't have any friends on here yet so feel free to friend me :D

    Hmmm... I guess I don't know where my ticker went... I created one earlier today but I don't see it... do I have to add it in my sig or something?

    That is totally why I joined. For encouragement and to make myself accoutable! I gain and loose the same 20 lbs every year! I used the Body Bugg 2 years ago, and that showed me how important journaling your intake and output is!

    Hi and welcome! I've been here 11 days and am loving it (I'm only weighing myself every two weeks - hence the 0 weight loss so far). Everyone is lovely. I find the app is what keeps me going - I'm glued to my iPod so I can't avoid updating my foods now!

    EDIT: And the cat is darling!

    welcome
    I love this site because there is alot of encouragement and motivation. Except for the people on here I dont have anyone I am doing it with, but this site helps me to be accountable and I love it. I think it is a mind set thing really, you have to just be ready and determined that this time you are going to do it. I know you can do it just track your food and exercise daily and stick with it

    Ah thanks! I just think he's funny :) I caught him in a yawn and the picture makes me laugh. Maybe I'll post a personal picture sometime soon!

    Thanks for sharing everyone, I'm glad that I'm not the only one depending on just myself and this site to get motivated. I know I can do it... but it's easier to do it with friends and support! Good luck to all of you as well :)
