    I am beginning again today, too. On another post it said that a realistic goal for somebody with 40 to 74 pounds to lose is 1.5lbs per week so that is what I amaking my goal. I have about 45 tp lose.
    I believe we can do it!

    I'm just lurking around to throw out advice.

    What're your plans on diet, my new fellow MFP patron? ;D

    Edited for typo.

    My first plan is to complete the mfp food journal daily, no matter what I eat. The next part of my plan is to walk at least 10 minutes daily. That may mot sound like much, but it is what I can realistically see myself doing. Thanks for asking. Your asking makes me have to be specific about what I am doing.

    How will you be logging your food into the journal? I recommend getting a digital scale for food.

    Using cups/tablespoons/etc makes for so much inaccuracy, it is crazy! Gotta see what I used to pack into there and still say it was the recommend 1 cup... I doubled the amount of grams in that cup for the calories, so my '1 cup' was a double serving size compared to their nutritional label! Whoopsie. I learned.

    You got this! There may be a few bumps in the road but keep your goal in mind and don't accept anything less than success. If you feel any frustration along the way, let it be fuel for your persistence. Log it all and measure everything you eat. Congrats to everyone taking this bull by the horns!
