I'm in on the encouragement, could use all the help I can get! weight is coming off in small ounces per week which can get very discouraging. Add me to friends if you like!6

Me too... always seems like when I start doing well with weight loss, something happens to derail me. I turned 30 this year, so I'm trying to make this my year.5

Same here. I have 900 accounts on here because I want to start over fresh and forget to delete them. I'm sick of making new accounts. lol7

I agree about not wanting to do the quick diet. Those just don't seem to work for me. Well they do at the time LOL I had a rough 2 days, don't know if it was the cold or not, but refocusing my brain again to get back on track.0

Same here........ on and off again! I'm with you! 30 lbs. is my goal2

A goal...….haven't put a number on it in a long time, because I have missed it so many times. I want to be successful this time. So I am going to try to be realistic. I think three pounds a month should be attained. What I really want though is to be down 25/30 pounds by my family reunion in July. So here it is...….my realistic goal is to be at 188 by end of June, which is 3 pounds a month. To break it down: 200 at end of Feb; 197 @ end of Mar; 194 @ end of April; 191 @ end of May; 188 @ end of June. Sure doesn't seem like much...….I really want to be much less, but I have to make it achievable. Hold me accountable!!7

Thank you all for the encouragement4

Encouragement for the weekend: The goal is long term: take each day as it is and just work on improving. A minor setback is just a short delay. Keep looking towards the goal.5

Dreams don’t have deadlines. And I’m trying to remember that every day.3

Hope everyone is doing well. It's been a quiet thread1

I’m new at joining these threads, and have used MFT 10 years ago to drop some weight. Well, over time and aging, it has all come back on and I HAVE to get it off again. I know this is needed for my health as I get older; and to just feel good again. I started on my own Jan 2 (with my daughter as my sole cheerleader), just made my 35th log in today and down 11 lbs. I know what I need to do meaning: better food choices, watch portions and plan, and get moving. The first two are going ok as long as I stay focused, but the get moving is hard. I was recuperating from two surgeries for the past six months and have really lost so much stamina; so really feel starting over with just daily chores and some very light exercise. I will try this thread and read everyone’s comments to help me and to maybe help someone else out there struggling too. So until later, hang in there everyone, we all didn’t get this way ‘overnight’ and it will take time to overcome our battles; but it is DOABLE!5

Some of you are offering to ‘add as friend’, does that allow us to see each other’s daily log completions, etc? If yes, I need to figure out how to do so....1
-
It really does help with friends. I want to log in all the time and it is so encouraging to see other reaching goals.2
-
Same. Haha!0

How do you add someone to friends? Can someone add me I really need a motivation buddy, challenge buddy and all that!! 😁 So serious!! Lol2
-
Hi all ya new to this thread! I still feel very new myself.
Yes, adding a person as friend brings their comments and activities for the day to your home page.
Please feel free to add me.
For some reason I have trouble adding from my phone.
Personally, I like coming to this thread and having conversations, encouragement, share successes, look for recommendations. After about 2 weeks, I'm thinking it's all what we make of it.1 -
I'd be happy to have new friends on here; I've lost half a stone since the New Year, with just over another stone to go before I reach target - but of course it's slowed down a lot now! I'm walking a lot, beginning to add in some strength training exercises, I've cut out alcohol completely, and am being very sensible with my food (although I don't track as often as I should). It'd be nice to see others achieving their goals in my feed, not just my own updates. The big thing this year is that I've ditched the fitbit after years and years of using a tracking device; I felt I was focusing too much on how many steps I was doing, and incidental all day long calorie burn, instead of actual heart pumping, sweat inducing activity. I feel very free! Feel free to add me if any of that sounds like your kind of fitness friend.1

Came back recently too.... 37 days in and still determined, although things are moving SLLLOOOWWWWLLLY! ADD AWAY!
