    I am starting up Again and will go 6 weeks at a time commitment. I have given up diet soda (yeah) a week now and will keep up the food/exercise diary which is essential to weight loss in my case. Count me in!

    I am looking for some new and inspiring friends as well. In 2013 I had done an amazing job and lost 40 +/- pounds. In September of 2013, I fell off the band wagon and gained a good chunk of it back. I am almost to the weight that I told myself I never wanted to see on my scale again. Feel free to add me as a friend. I can use all of the encouragement and motivation I can get. On the bright side, we just got a new puppy almost a month ago, and she needs lots of exercise, so it is a good excuse for me to go for a walk! Looking forward to seeing new friend on MFP!
  • Starting here again as well! Lost it and then gained it all back the second half of the year...

    Not this time though! You guys can add me :)

    Count me in as well! I started on the 2nd (Long story about why I didn't start on the 1st), and have been going strong! But I can always have more people to help motivate me and keep me on track. Anyone is more than welcome to friend request me!

    I am looking for new friends also. I came back after 2 years and almost all of my friends are inactive or unfriended me for being inactive! Love seeing other people succeeding, it helps me a lot!

    As of February 1st I am down 20 pounds. Wish I could lose 20 a month all the time, but I know it will slow down, even so I am on the right track. Keep pushing everyone. We'ok get to our destination. Slow and steady wins the race.

    Starting again as well. I am trying to make sure that while I make better food choices, I also make exercise a part of my day....Not just "if I have time". That is very hard for me.

    I have realized,that I MUST give myself a window to finish...so everyday its between 10-12...after that I get lazy.

    I could use some motivational and accountability buddies. So far, I'm doing well on tracking, however, the exercise habit is slow to develop and so is the water. Little by little, I'm hoping to take these on. Good luck everyone!

    Just did a yoga session as best I can. Feel all stretched out. What's for lunch guys? Think I'll be having Greek yogurt tablespoon of honey and just or banana haven't decided yet. In case you don't know YouTube offers LOADS of exercises for people of all shapes. Right now my go to is "Hasfit" 20 min chair exercise, my knee been killings me lately, but still gotta move. Have a good day all.

    Just remember anything helps. If it has to be in a chair (like me, for now) do it. I also keep dumbbells under coffee table, so I can do a set throughout the day.

    The water may be difficult for some. Since I gave up soda and juice I missed the fizz of soda, so started drinking Perrier and club soda for me it satisfied me. Plus if I want too I can add some lime or even fruit.

    Take care.
