Hey everyone! Just wanted to say hi, I have been "on" weight watchers just not doing it because i cant deal with the points and stuff. i want to know what i am eating and how many cals it has not just how many points it is...from bayonne, nj and i need some support! friend me!

just turned 30 in july and i came to a realization that i am killing myself with what i am doing. i feel like a 60 yr old woman because i cant move, get up from a chair, FIT in a chair, etc. Enough is enough!!!

Thanks for listening :-)

    I think you will like this much better. It has more help for counting calories and the added plus of counting exercise.

    hey there back at ya....me too (121lbs left to lose), actually been counting cals and carbs, sugar with this site for 2 weeks and not to much exercise I have lost 8.7 lbs. I can absolutely encourage you if you could do the same!! It is the hardest thing to do ever and I to do not want to kill myself, I am the oldest 38yr old ever~~I want to play with my kids, and be with them without worrying that they will want to go for a walk and I say...I am to tired!!
    I hear everything that your saying, if you do this faithfully I believe it will work for us...I dont really document on the weekends, but I realize that if you dont you have no idea what your putting in your mouth. I exercised this weekend by house work(vigorously) and went boating..which is tough on your muscles if your the only one doing it!!
    I will start exercising next week for real....gotta give my body some time to adjust to a 1800 cal diet!!
    GOOD LUCK!!!:flowerforyou:

    I'm in the same boat, right at 100 to lose. I've been a member of MFP for a while, but it has only just finally clicked with me. I tried WW twice, and it worked the first time and I lost almost 20lbs but the second time was a total failure. Of course, anything will fail if you don't actually work at it. Good luck to you.

    Welcome aboard! I was where you are 5 years ago and have lost over 175lbs. You need to put yourself first and gather cheerleaders! My favorite reminder is that YOU have to help YOU first -or you won't be around to do for anyone else... I belong to a non-profit international weight loss group for IN REAL LIFE support but this website and the community around it is amazing. I am now 43 and almost half of what I was 5 years ago. You can do this!

    I will add you and I look forward to watching you get healthy and active.

    God bless!

    dear losing 100 pds. i am also needing to lose in the 100s and new to this site. i 've heard everywhere keeping a food journal helps. does this site give diet plans too? i tried fitclick site and they have good diet meal plans but not so good on the journals.:bigsmile:

    I just joined too. I didn't know the scale would go up so high! I wish it was as much fun taking it off as it is putting it on. Unfortunately, when not eating, I am miserable (mostly because of the weight). UGH! What's a girl to do? I need to lose 130 lbs. so I can play with my grandchildren on the floor.

    i thank you all for posting to me!!! yes i got married in 2010 and i had lost some weight for that- i was about 280. now i am 320 a year later, and just turned 30. i want to have children but i dont think i COULD or SHOULD even try right now since I am very large. i need to get healthy and i am so sick sick sick of the dieting "game". i want to eat healthier on my watch!!!

    i think i gained a lot over the years due to stress (studying for CPA and MBA) and i will be done end of this year. i kept making excuses like "oh i will get serious about weight loss when im done with school and my exams" but i have had just about enough of making excuses. i am going to do it now because i deserve to be happy, healthy, and a momma someday!!!

    i love you all you are so very supportive!!! i think i found a home here at MFP!
