Hello out there! I am new to this, but finally decided I need to take weight loss seriously. Started on this journey a few weeks ago at 346 lbs. My weight had never really bothered me, but my health is beginning to suffer more as a result of my weight. Looking for motivation as I know this will take a long time to accomplish.

    Hi and welcome to MFP. I think MFP and the people I've met on it have been my biggest motivator. And just knowing that I don't have to starve myself and that I can still have any of my favorite foods (with CICO), has helped keep me motivated. Also, I enjoy logging and make a game out of hitting my macro totals. And seeing the scale numbers go down is also a joy. Good luck to you - you CAN do this!
