    @BreakEveryChain16 , Have you attempted to use myfitnesspal for this weight loss purpose in the past?

    Feel free to add me. I got to my target weight using MFP, and I love myself more than ever now.

    @BreakEveryChain16, that's an awesome letter. Really touched me. Get into MFP and make some friends, and track everything! I've been overweight for 30+ years, and tried almost everything else out there - THIS is what has worked most consistently for me.

    I love your screen name! Says it all!

    Two things:
    1) For once, this is JUST for you.
    2) Sexy is not a size. Every calorie is not a war. Your body is not a battleground. Your value is not measured in pounds. You are just as beautiful as every other woman.

    Good Luck!
    Add me if you like...

    Thank you so much! My screen name is actually the name of a song, and I believe it 100%.

    I rarely receive such complements! I think you made me blush! I certainly had tears in my eyes.

    Love the letter and can totally relate, as I'm sure many people here can! I'm sending you a friend request, I know I'm going to need support for the low days and high fives for the good so maybe I can do that for you too? Best of luck to you x

    Edit: I've just tried to add you but I can't from my end, if you want a cheerleader then send me a request :)

    I sent you a friend request, and I'd like to be there for you as well.

    This is so wonderful, and honestly so true. I have had such a rocky relationship with MFP, but being at my heaviest right now has made me decide to finally quit with the excuses and start trying. Best of luck, my friend!

    I admire you for having the courage to make life-style changes. It can be so hard to do..
    Never, however, say 'farewell' to the miraculous woman you are. You may want to be fitter, healthier, stronger - but that soul inside you has got you 'this' far in your life and has not let you down. Respect starts from within. You can do this, whatever 'this' may be. But know that you never have been/never will be a failure.

    great letter and just what I needed to read this morning. This is exactly what I am doing today "starting over". With the help of MFP I lost 80 lbs 4 years ago but last year I had a heart attack and some of the medication they put me on made me gain weight fast 25 lbs back on in addition to the 10 lbs before the attack. I know WE can do this. Good Luck and best wishes, lets get fit, healthy and happy!

    This is great :) Bye bye old you and welcome new you!

    You got this!

    As said above - make a nice group of supportive friends and remember - slow and steady wins the race :)

    Thanks! Unfortunately for me, my support will be limited to MFP. I don't have much to lean on in RL. Everyone is so fickle and no one really believes I can do this.

    The thing about people not believing you can do this is that your victory will taste all that much sweeter when you actually do get there. Trust me, my biggest life accomplishment was basically impossible according to everyone in my life. It can't be done! You're crazy! There's just no way! I heard it all. They're eating crow now though, because I did it. You can too! Good luck, slow and steady wins the race.
