    If you stop relying on other people for something you have to do yourself (eat less/move more), and set realistic goals, you'll significantly increase your likelyhood of success.

    Straight to the point ! very true , I meant more in the sense of having others around me that are motivational, but yes your completely right in what you say !! I got myself to this point and only I can make that change =)

    Hey AnnMarie! Good luck! I'm also a returning long time MFP user but first time trying the community feature.

    I have previously found the group aspect of slimming world to be really effective so hoping to get the same here and hopefully have some success! :)

    Hi!!!

    Same boat I’ve got 71lbs to lose also, we’ve got this we can do it! Would love fellow MyFitnessPal friends to vent to and talk about health struggles rather than keep it in and have a negative effect!
