in Motivation and Support
Hi everyone, I recently started this site and need to add some more friends for inspiration and support - I'd love to encourage you and you encourage me!

My name is Janel - and I've been on a weight roller coaster my entire life. I've dropped alot and gained it back - several times! I have a cruise next year and really want to look good! This past year I went on a couple of trips and looking back at the pictures of myself in photos kind of taints the awesome memories of the trip.

I'm tired of being embarrased of the seat belts being too tight or worried about not fitting in/on something because of my size!

    You can add me if you like. I have lost about 41 pounds with over 80 more to go! :blushing:
    I'm also doing it 10 pounds at a time and it's really slow going! But I know I didn't gain this weight overnight and as much as I would love it, it's not going to come off overnight!

    HI Jane,

    Welcome. MFP has bee JUST want I needed to make a definite change in my habits. I've lost 13lbs with the help of MFP, and a total of 27lbs from my own personal "heavy weight". Things are going much better WITH MFP, as compared to without.

    Hope MFP turns out to be right for you, that you find it comfortable here, and that your weight loss journey ends happily.

    HI! My name is Maren. I also have a trip planned in the fall that I want to look better/feel better for. I am stuck in a plateau right now and it is frustrating! MFP really does help. Feel free to add me.

    Wow! Thanks for the support everyone!

    Being new - I'm not sure how the profile thing works when a couple of you commented on mine being private.. I know on facebook that means that I don't show up in a google search if someone were to type in my name, so thought that meant the same here? For some reason it seems easier to me to get support from strangers or online for my weight loss journey than it is to get it from my friends. Does that seem strange?

    Adding all of you helps me a lot - I'm getting excited for this journey, even though I know it will be a hard long road! :smile:

    Thanks!!
