    You can do it. Watching what you eat is important. Cut your calorie intake and do lots of cardio

    I have about 70 lbs to lose. Feel free to add me! It helps me to be accountable to MFP friends. :smile:

    It doesn't have to be difficult! Making slight adjustments to your daily intake and adding in a little more activity is a great place to start. I would suggest starting with some light walking and ease into things. Making too many adjustments or drastic changes all at once will make sticking to the plan far more difficult.

    Feel free to ask any questions this is a good community for support!

    Welcome and good luck. My quick advice to you is to fill out your profile and share a few photos. For me, it helps to become more invested in a person (and thus a better friend and supporter) if I feel like I know them. :smile: Either way...again...welcome and good luck! You can do it. :smile:

    Having the support of others in MFPland is a big help. it comes down to lots of small choices adding up- do I take a 10 minute walk or don't I?; do I eat something I shouldn't now- or do I wait an hour to see if I still want it? I have found that by waiting an hour, I often forget about it or realize I don't want it now. I picked up the same lf granola bar yesterday three times- but never did eat it! Feel free to add me.

    Been there, with serious health issues, and lost over 100 pounds. What worked for me is...eating less and moving more. Yep, that's my big secret! Seriously, stay away from the fads and gimmick diets. Just be honest about what you log for food and exercise, and get moving! Small steps start to add up after a while. :smile:
