    Yeah!! Congrats and good luck! Keep the focus on yourself. I started with a good friend, and she hasn't been on in about 2 weeks. She's super busy with work and other stuff and just hasn't had the time. So just keep your head hi and "add me" as a friend! I'll try to keep you motivated, and feel free to motivate me!! :) Good luck and best wishes!

    Welcome. I get lots of support from this site. Just reading the posts distracts me from thinking about food all the time. You can add me as a friend if you like.

    Welcome, don't worrie, your going to love this website, here is a number one tip I highly recommend.
    1. Add as much people you can for all the support, trust me even tho you may not know them, they help you get thru it & help with anything else that may not be about weight/exercise/food ect ect.
    Your going to get addicted to this site, well for me I did.
    Good Luck on your goal.

    Welcome to the newbies. Not much luck involved. Determination to make a change really goes a long way. A support system (ME and MFP) is so important. Family and friends may flake out on you when/if you lose more than they want you to.

    Glad you're here. Log your food and exercise. Lots of good people here. Welcome!! :flowerforyou:

    Hello everyone!

    I'm just getting started today! I have the urge to lose weight, but no motivation...nor will power!! I am a widowed mom of three. They already lost their father to cancer, so I'm all they have left, so I've got to do something to make myself healthier!

    Well i just got started and i really need to keep myself motivated. i started exercising two weeks ago and it has been going pretty well but now my work hours are changing and i am working 9 hours a day so when i get home from exercising it will be 30 minutes later. i feel guilty because my husband is at home with our 9month old. i feel like i should be there with them but at the same time my hubby is paying for the gym fees and money is tight so i dont want to waste his money. i really need to lose about 66 pounds.

    WELCOME!!!

    I am 55 days into the site here using my diary everyday and blogging my intentions as I start my day to give myself a mental boost.

    19.2 pounds gone. (see below) and it has been SO EASY! just start your day with a PLAN in your diary and you can't do anything but lose the weight!:happy:

    Hello, I'm just getting started myself. It is hard to stay focused, but I keep reminding myself that I'm doing this for my kids!! They lost their father to cancer last year, and I'm all they got left.....raising them as a single mom. We can do this!! Yes, we can!!
