Hi everyone!! {I'm new here}
•Title says it all•
I know it's not a fix, a new year "resolution" and no miracle will happen. The only way to achieve this, is with hard work, motivation, dedication and consistency. I've lost weight before, I gain it all back, I hated myself, gain some a little more and now I'm here. Looking to team up with motivated pals like YOU! {Let's make things happen}

    Anyone else in? My goal is to lose 70 pounds. I'm 5.6 and about 220lbs now. My struggle is to remain motivated. Whenever I see I gain or/and haven't lose weight after a hard week of training and eating clean, I get totally discourage!! I took the decision starting January 1st, I'll weight in and throw away the scale :lol: NOT kidding This way, I'll keep on working hard until I can visibly see results (with my clothes, the mirror etc) and then I'll weight in again. So if you're up for the challenge, losing weight, exchanging ideas, meals etc, ADD ME :smiley:

    I 'friended' you, NoRes... I started at 197, down 3 lbs from there. Determined to get to 170 as my initial goal, we'll see where to take it from there.
    My story is that the weight has just crept up every year. I try to eat moderately and exercise, but overdo it occasionally like a lot of folks. I do have a hypothyroid condition, so I suspect my metabolism is on the slow side. Not giving myself an excuse, that's just one more thing I have to deal with.

    2017 is going to be the year that I lose it and keep it off. It is a lifestyle change, not a 'diet'.

    I am in the gym for an hour every day, do a combination of cardio and strength training. I'm new to MFP, but the food diary is great so far... I'm logging everything. Just gotta stick with it! Let's do it together.

    Hi, I am new here too. I decided to lose weight about 3 and a half weeks ago. Did a lot of research before embarking on it. I started running at the same time as going on a diet. Have managed to lose 14 and a half pounds, down to 160 pounds. It is hard work but I would definitely say that diet probably contributes about 80 percent of the weight loss. I am currently doing a 4 mile run and a 4 mile walk about 5 times a week.
    It is difficult to keep going at times but I just tell myself to do it once and get it over with. Running does suppress appetite so it helps with the diet.
    Good luck everybody!

    Hi sent you a request.
    Certainly agree that it is not just a fad diet that will get done what is needed but plain old fashioned hard work. Am cycling as often as possible, running and I do not get along as I find it so boring and the knees complain like hell from old injuries from my days playing rugby.
    Fitting it in with the shift work is more of the challenge than anything especially on nights where just figuring out what day or time of day it is can be a major battle ! Still working on it and doing everything I can.

    Hi all, just back from the new years break with My parents, first day I have been able to exercise in 2017 proper.
    30 minutes on the bike and I shaved 11 seconds off My time for 10 miles ! Managed to get it down to 29.48 so I am really chuffed.
    if I can do this so can all of you, join Me and everyone else here and lets get fitter, healthier and happier. >:)
