in Introduce Yourself
Hi! I have been in the group for about 2 weeks now and thought I would finally say hi! I love this place, it is a god send.. I have always been big, but I no longer want to be that "fat girl".. I have over 200lbs to lose (yes I said 200), but my husband is doing it with me and I think I can do it this time..

    You can do it.

    Log all of your food, eat as clean as possible, and move as much as possible.

    Know you'll mess up and just keep going.

    Good luck on your journey!

    First, I want to say Cograts Smiley for making, first, the hardest decision to want to change and getting your mind ready to be disciplined with your food intake and make healthy choices! Secondly, is your motivation to post on MFP and get team support behind you! We are all here in the same boat...with weight to lose and want to feel good with how we look. Your stepping in the right direction and I wish you the BEST! There's someone on here that has lost 215 lbs so far! You can do this too. Stay connected, make friends, and log your food daily. Surprisingly, I've found that I didn't eat certain foods bc I would have to be accountable for it in my diary so I didn't eat it. It really makes you more aware of what your eating. Good luck and add me for me support if you'd like. I log and read everyone's post daily to help anyway I can, but you've got to be willing to help yourself first and you've done just that by making this first step! Good Luck!!!

    You can do this! Will it be quick? No. Will it be easy? No. Will you have good days and bad days? Yep. But, keep the end goal in your sights.

    This site will help you tremendously. Log your food (learning what is a true portion size vs what we think is a portion size will be a BIG eye opener!) because seeing it in black and white everyday DOES help. Exercise as much as you can. Not only will help speed up the weight loss, but it'll also help your body change as you go through this journey. Drink lots of water. Your body needs it to flush out the toxins. And remember - YOU HAVE TO EAT TO LOSE. I know it sounds counterproductive, but I'm telling you.. your body NEEDS fuel to function and to feel comfortable enough to lose weight. Not eating is like not putting gas in your car and then wondering why you can't go anywhere. Food is what makes your body go - so fuel it!

    It sounds like you have an excellent support system at home and this site will just top it off for you!

    Good Luck!

    Thanks for the add :) I've got probably 250ish that I'd like to lose.. but have to take it one bit at a time because when you think of that much all at once it's enough to do my head in :( haha. I hope we both can motivate eachother on the long journey ahead :D I never would have gotten anywhere if not for this site.. Best thing I ever did was join :)

    Welcome! I'm glad to hear your husband is supportive. It's always better with home support. My best friend and my roommate and I all use MFP and we're all seeing results without the sense of shame and stress that we've felt trying to diet.

    You can do this! We're with you.
