    You can do it...it is a struggle but you CAN do it - we're all in the same boat here and everyone is so postive and helpful. I love this site - I feel confident that you can too. The important thing, I think, is not to cheat (not that I'm saying you do but I know that I did at the beginning!) Good luck, feel free to add me if you like. :-)

    lulu you can and will do it. be patient with yourself. take one day and moment at a time. Believe me, i was so shameful at myself 7 months ago when i realized how low i went but you know what when you stay the course, take your time, and balance it out, it will COME TOGETHER and you aren't alone.

    ((((hugs))))

    Welcome to the site. Believe me, this site can definitely help. Start with the basics - set some goals for yourself, and have a look at the links in http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/23912-links-in-mfp-you-want-to-read-again-and-again

    Eating healthily and exercising so that you maintain a calorie deficit does work - for some inspiration you may want to have a look at some of the success stories on this site. You can do this if you put your mind to it.

    Having friends to offer support and motivation can also make a huge difference. Feel free to add me.

    Steven
