    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...

    I'm starting now as well. Why wait is what I thought. I'd like to buddy up help and get help. Swap ideas that work . I'm trying to reach out because in the past I've always done this on my own. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone to become a better "ME"

    Fitbit Flex for Christmas was my wake-up call. Started today also and need all the help I can get. 45 Min ride on Rail Trail was the start.

    Feel free to add me as well. I decided to start early--maybe just so it wouldn't feel like a run of the mill New Year's resolution.

    Hi everyone. I'm starting again. I'm 40 years old, mother of two, farmer's wife and 10 stone 4 pounds. I'm only 4 foot 11, so I'm a good size 14. I'm sick of it! And it does nothing for my health. I hate the way I look.

    I'm unfit, and really want to start riding my horse again. I take anti depressants for anxiety, which doesn't help the weight loss as well. I eat emotionally, especially when I'm stressed, and always find it hard to lose weight, as I seem to self-sabotage... I work from home, live in gorgeous countryside and love reading, seeing all my friends, and looking after my kids. Please add me as a friend (I've no idea how you do this...) as I need all the support I can get!
