    I just talked a girl I work with into joining MFP after she has seen what it's done for me so far! I told her we will encourage each other!

    I surely need encouragement as I get started with a new LifeStyle change. I had been on MFP keeping though not long enough to see a change physically but also during some health challenges which i'm still dealing with but I need to lose weight to eliminate so adversity to the health issues. My goal is 45lbs and I have joined Planet Fitness so im ready. I just need to create a good eating plan and encouragement and thank you in advance for being willing to do that.

    If they are actually struggling, yes, I agree.

    If they simply haven't made a commitment to better health, that's another. There's someone in my life like this and that individual drives me up a wall. When you ask what this individual is willing to change to meet goals, the answer is "nothing"--despite a stroke, badly arthritic knees, and arrythmia, and HBP. Sorry, but if you want to continue to have a diet of candy, pastry and steak and never even attempt to walk, let alone exercise--you aren't struggling. You're in denial and I can't help you.

    I was shopping at TJ Maxx yesterday and the woman behind the counter asked me if I was going to work out (based on my outfit I was wearing and the fact that I bought new sports bras, capri workout pants and underarmour socks..) I told her yes and she told me she wishes it were easier for her. She was a very large woman and said that dieting is her downfall. I wrote the MFP website down on a piece of paper and told her to give it a try. I told her she deserved to be healthy and happy and that this place would support her journey even if no one else would (her hubby likes her that way she said!) I love spreading the word about how helpful this site is =)
