    :happy: Hi. I just joined a few days ago myself. One thing that's got me motivated is an event on July 4th that I'm planning to attend. Is there some event you can target for? Make shorter goals that you can achieve (with work of course) so it's not too drawn out.
    I am having fun using the food calculator and figuring out what I can eat with what's left over. Like Saturday I actually had enough calories left over to have 2 light lime beers. Sunday I had to do my exercise because I'd eaten a little funnel cake (yuk) at a fair with my kid! After that, I could actually eat dinner without going in the red.

    So, I'm trying to make a game out of staying in the green by the end of the day!

    Welcome, LadyChaos
    I hope you find lots of friends and support here. I am in my 3rd week on MFP and can tell you this is good place to work on yourself.

    I'll send you a friend request. It's the friends and support (along with the excellent calorie tracking tools) that have helped me lose 3 pounds in 3 weeks. (I have taken the low-maintenance approach to weight loss).

    Lots of luck to you!
