Not getting "what I need" from friends/family (they all tell me i'm fine) - need some of you to jump on my bandwagon to push me along... I PROMISE I will return the favor! Thanks for considering...

    I just joined today, and I am in the same boat with you. I need encouragement too and will not be getting it from family, haha. You CAN do it and so can I. This site looks like it will be an amazing help. A friend of mine is already halfway to her goal. Just keep going! :)

    feel free to add me :o) I'm looking to lose quite a bit more weight and will be around for a while longer :o) I love this site for the encouragement and support you get from so-called-strangers. Sometimes I feel like without my MFP peeps I'd be failing at this. They are all awesome :o)

    Stick with it, it is always will be worth the effort. For years I always said tomorrow, tomorrow. I have found tomorrow never comes. This time I started on a Tuesday, and have logged in everyday, 1st thing I do is work out my menu for the day on MFP it provides a path through the day.

    Nothing MORE frustrating than people who critique your motivation for wanting to eat healthier. Geesh, now that I've hit the obese category, my cholesterol levels are requiring medication, AND I'm borderline diabetic...NOW some of my family think it's not a vanity thing anymore- let me tell you- it wasn't 30 pounds ago either. But those extra 20 pounds I put on make some of them agree with me now- and they're sitting back saying, " gee, it's a shame you didn't do this years ago......" ( do I insert a [groan] or a <sigh> ? )

    I know what you mean. While appreciate the kindness of ppl that say that "you're find, you're not fat"..I still have goals that I need to get to. I know I'm not overly over weight, but I still the encouragement to reach my personal goal. I'm still about 10 to 15 over my comfort zone. I'm short so my weight carries different. :) Add me if you like and maybe we can help encourage and motivate each other. :)
