I'm a 29 year old mother of 2. When I started almost 2 months ago my goal was to lose almost 110 pounds. I'm 32 pounds down but still have a long way to go. I'm always looking for active friends. I log every day, even when it isn't pretty.0

Hi, Would love some more support and motivation. 2 years ago I managed to lose around 60lbs but due to extremely difficult family situation I kind of of gradually lost my way and have over time regained all I had lost. I got back in the zone at the beginning of this year and had been doing quite well although at the moment am confined to bed with labrinthyitis. I am continuing to log (even though the diet is not good) cause i dont want to get out of the habit again but could do with a push and support for when i am able to move again. Having done this before I know how a good support network can help and am happy to try and motivate in return0

Ladies and gentleman we got this!!! I know it's hard when you live most of your life eating unhealthy it can be a transition. I started with watching my portions and eating slower. I became fuller faster because by eating slower the food would hit my belly and I'd end up being able to tell when I was done compared to chowing down and then feeling like I was going to explode lol0

Hi, I am 30 years old. I have always been plus sized, but after my daughter was born I went way up and never came down haha.
I have broken my 80lb loss goal into increments. 10lbs by end of March would be good.
Definitely looking for motivation and a group to track with : )0 -
Anyone can add me too! Have 100+ to lose and share my diary with friends. Looking for new recipes... chicken breast and veggies with different herbs is getting a little tired. Anyone have any good websites they can suggest? I go to skinnytaste.com, laaloosh and can you stay for dinner. Prefer lots of flavors and meals that stay away from my trigger food CHEESE! Thanks!

Anyone can feel free to add me. I'm 30, full time college student and single mom. I'm engaged but I still have 3 years to reach my goal. I have about 140 lbs to lose ultimately. I may not always eat the best. I am focusing right now on getting in shape (working out a minimum of 4 days a week). Always willing to give support and an "atta boy" when small goals are met. Good luck everyone on your journey. 0

So excited that both of my teenage daughters are now on MFP! They are both fit and athletic but have joined me in really eating healthy. This makes cooking so much easier! I'm loving it!!!!0

Having your family on board is a big part of the battle!0

@Cannotpickname you don't have to be a slave to chicken. It is perfectly fine to eat other types of meat. I had 3 Oz of porketta the other day and stayed well within my goal...mix it up. There is more to life than chicken! 0

Hey y'all, so I guess here's my story. Need to loose about 120. Some of my hurdles are my job (retail management), it causes weird and odd hours. That in turn causes non consistent eating habits and sometime super late when I get home, non regular sleep schedule and difficult to get in any sort of workout. Anyone willing to add me for support would be awesome and I will do everything in my power to do the same. Also, anyone else get embarrassed going to the gym, yea so how do you overcome those insecurities?0

Hi there!
I'm a 27 year old teacher from Australia with 135lbs to lose (60kgs), 3.3lbs(1.5kgs) down in my first week. I've been on MFP before but didn't take it this seriously. I think I've finally got the frame of mind to do this. I also have a healing broken leg and tendons at the moment, so the best I can do is physio and watching my cals, no normal exercise yet.
Feel free to add me, I'm super regular on here due to not working at the moment

@astro_katie there are arm exercises. You could probably do crunches. Lol0

Feel free to add me I have lost 78lbs since last March and have another 50 to go0

So I really wanted to scoot down the road at lunchtime and get something yummy instead of eating my homemade veggie soup. It was such a temptation, but I took 5 minutes to talk to myself. Yes ... a little self talking is good for the wasteline - remember that. You can talk yourself out of things as easily as you talk yourself into them.
Lunch = under 300 calories
I'm feeling pretty satisfied too 0 -
I've been drinking lots of water. It's been keeping me full. I've been having to force myself to eat! But sometimes the only thing i crave is sweet chocolate. Ugh the struggles0

I am now about 80lbs over weight, but would love to lose 90-95. I am at the biggest I have ever been in my life and something has to give. I have two children which makes it even harder when all they want to do is eat
I started my journey yesterday by watching my 1200 calories and going to the gym, I did 1 Mile on the treadmill and 3 miles on the bicycle. Today my kids had a snow day and of course wanted to eat everything and I am a little over my calories today but I would LOVE someone to help me beat this journey!
snow days are great opportunities. Bundle your kids up and go have a snowball fight, build a giant snowman, make a snow fort, make a snow path or snow mazes. We even built a snow slide when I was a kid. You might be cold at first, but after you play in the snow for an hour you end up sweating. Its great fun and a great memory for you and your kids. Instead of eating activities, get their creative juices going. Play dress up, pretend you are solving a mystery, read a story to them or have them read to you. You can color, play board games, make something from recyclables. Keep them so busy they won't be whining for snacks. When you do come to snack time, make up some healthy snacks instead of letting them have junk food. By doing this now, they will learn to crave good things instead. If you need help just go to bing and put in the search box whatever you are looking for and click on images. There is usually a link to the various crafts, activities or snacks. If you model the active life, they will find it fun and live an active life when they grow up.0 -
Hi all I want/need to lose 100+ pounds, just found this app yesterday and slowly finding my way round I am already a regular at the local gym but where food is concerned I don't really know where to start. Any support help would be fabulous I have my best friends wedding in August and I so want to not be the fat friend.
My son is getting married some time in the fall and that has been the nagging worry of mine. I don't want to be the fat mother of the groom that ruins their pictures. I have been using MFP for 40 days now and love it. Have lost 13 pounds and 18". Just add your meals as you go and then look at the totals at the bottom of the page. You will learn to watch for which foods tend to send you over the limit. I sometimes add them before I eat or plan a meal, just to see where I would be if I ate it. I also joined in on some of the challenges and group things. If you go to the community tab at the top of the page and then scroll to the bottom of the page when it loads, click on Biggest Loser. It will take you to the discussions and challenges around this. I belong to Team Teal. Lisa Child is our team leader. Her username is lmc8009 (the first letter is an L). You can message her or friend her and ask to be on the team. We start the next season real soon, just finishing up on week 6 this week. We get points for losing weight, exercise minutes, daily and weekly challenges, mini challenges such as Focus goal, yoga, Macros, and more. Getting involved in one of these groups makes you accountable, people are counting on your participation to boost team scores. You get team mates and other friends on here cheering you on when you succeed and helping you when you have a question or a bad day.0 -

My tip of the day:
Don't just eat things to stay under your calories. Pay attention to your daily nutrition chart as well as the nutrition facts of what you are logging individually. That might help you decide to swith some stuff out and try new things!
Have a great day everyone!!0 -

I'm a chocolate lover also.
I keep a bag of Lindt 70% cocoa squares in my desk drawer. If I am having a big craving I enjoy one square (1/4 serving) which is 63 cals. I try to keep it to once a week. A girl can't go cold turkey on her chocolate.

Big shocker --- it's snowing in Maine again today and the forecast is for another 8-12" on Saturday AND 8-12" more on Sunday!! I'm not sure where we're going to put it! Maybe it's mother natures way of telling us to get out there and make snow angels?
Yesterday was pretty successful, but I need to work on getting my calories in sooner in the day. I still had 600 calories to get last night so I ate half a bagel with lite PB. It was heavenly but I really should have just called it a day and not eaten that. Today is a new day.
Keep it skinny!0
