    Good for you! I have much respect for people like you that know they need to work really hard to be a healthy weight again and really go for it. You will definitely provide inspiration for more to do the same. There's no denying it'll be a difficult task but I wish you and your family all the best and I hope they support you all the way. X

    I've lost over 100 lbs in the past year, and I didn't take any super drastic actions to do it. I don't eat rabbit food or salads all day, or exercise to excess. My diary is open if you'd like to have a look at the changes I've been making over time.

    Thanks @DataSeven ! I haven't been doing any of that. Thanks @lilasmall30! I stated out 232 and now 225, its a long journey but I know I can do it. Hope all goes well with your workouts. I started going a set of squats every bathroom break, its not much but its better than nothing. I need to exercise more and soon.

    If only it came off as easily as it goes on! I've got about 60 to lose myself. I'm just trying to focus on one day at a time doing the best I can. As mothers, we tend to put everyone's needs ahead of our own but we need to be our best to better take care of our families. Let's do this thang.

    I'm new here. I'm a sahm of 4 kids. My goal is to lose 80 lbs. I joined the gym in May 2014 & working really hard to drop the extra pounds. I'm down about 45lbs so far. Keep it up & take it 1 day at a time. If you feel like you fail 1 day, don't be too hard on yourself....after all the next day is a new day! I'm super motivated & looking for some new friends. Feel free to add me. :)

    MFP will be your new BFF. The support you'll get from everyone is amazing. You have a massive cheerleading section that will keep you pumped up. A lot of your success will be determined by your attitude. A POSITIVE ATTITUDE WILL BRING POSITIVE RESULTS. :) It's mind over matter! IF YOU THINK YOU CAN CONQUER THIS.....YOU WILL! However the other side of this is if you think you can't.....you won't. Make MFP an OCD of yours over the next year. Log everything!!! Don't cheat the system cause you're only cheating yourself. Mark your calendar with a daily appt to get in some exercise! Don't break the appt because YOU ARE IMPORTANT not only to yourself but your family! It takes 21 days to make a habit, make this next 21 days the beginning of seeing a happier, more motivated, & more beautiful you! <3
    YOU'VE GOT THIS! NOW GO OWN IT! (*)

    I started off at 261 pounds and have got down to 215 so far (hoping that will have went down a bit more at my weigh in on sunday). I still have a lot more to lose. My goal is 150 which will put me at the upper limit of healthy BMI for my height and I'd be very happy with that. I'm too young to be weighing that much and need to tackle it now. I'm being bridesmaid for my best friend in July and don't want to be ashamed of myself when I look at the photos so that's my incentive to push myself harder now. I do think MFP helps, it's nice to have support from people who understand. Feel free to add me.
