in Introduce Yourself
Looking for some people to help hold each other accountable; set some goals together; compete with one another; and just support one another. Any takers?

    I am proud of all of you who started today. I am waiting till after New Years just because I made that my goal to start again. Weight is the highest it's ever been. So you are all an inspiration to me. Thanks for being there. Looking forward to losing with you. My hubby did it w/ my help and is managing to keep it off. He is one of those people though once he sets his mind to something that is it. I say he is like a "dog with a bone." I however am a stress eater and revert to bad habits. Perhaps this time w/ us all we shall succeed. :)

    I need someone to be accountable to as well so please feel free to add me. I am just starting over today as well. I need to lose a lot of weight, about 100lbs, so I could use as much support and motivation as possible.

    Hi There! I am in...as I started today as well, rather than wait for the New Year. My goal is two fold...lose 15 pounds and get stronger and also get healthy and be mindful of what I am eating, and how it can support my health. I have had a multitude of chronic health issues over these last three years, spending the holidays in the hospital. So, I want a comprehensively emotionally healthy and physically fit life...as my daughters are grown, and I have taken care of them and so many others in my life, now it is my time..I guess the Universe has been trying to tell me that for the last few years...so THANK YOU guys for the support! I am excited...for us all!

    I have also started my journey of losing weight and also keeping track of what I eat instead of waiting until January. I mean working towards a positive goal and good health should not wait. I would like to receive and give support and motivation so I would be up for it. I will send you a friend request. Anyone is free to add me if they would like.

    This is exactly what I need! I'm the heaviest that I have ever been in my life. Although I may not "look" my weight in clothes...each day I see the true me in the mirror and it repulses me. I quit smoking 3 years ago on new years day and have gained 45 pounds since. I've decided its time to shed this weight/body for good. No more excuses. Hopefully, we can encourage each other and hold each other accountable. I begin my journey tomorrow. I have to be realistic....due to my sedentary lifestyle, I'll start with walking and/or riding the recumbent bike and eating breakfast (which I never eat). How will YOU begin your journey???

    I've got about 75 lbs to lose. Just got a Misfit activity tracker for Christmas so I started recording what I eat/calorie intake yesterday. Going to start exercising tomorrow. Looking forward to helping to motivate others and making friends on MFP!

    Ummm now that I just ate Wendy's and 3 cookies :\ , I think I'll start now LOL I was going to wait until the new year but I weighed myself and I am the highest I've ever been. Ugh! I lost 45 lbs on here in 2009. I had 2 babies and had lost almost all of my weight again, when my brother committed suicide. After that, I went through a bout of depression and gained alot of weight back. At that point, it was very hard to get back into the healthy lifestyle I had learned before. Soooo now, I have about 45-55 lbs to lose. I am also going to quit smoking. Between high blood pressure and having gestational diabetes in my last pregnancy (blood pressure still high, diabetes gone...for now), I need to do this and quit smoking. I need to be around for my girls as long as possible...
