Hello all! I am new to the site and new to joining forums. I get so busy with work that I don't take time to be an active poster but I really think I need the support to lose the weight this time. I lost 115 pounds reaching my goal back in 2003. Now....right back to where I started. It is so depressing to think of starting over and so depressing to be so overweight and I am SOOO tired of being depressed. So, I want to take this seriously and do it and do it right this time. Any support/new friends would be very welcome. Thanks to everyone out there who works to improve themselves and help others at the same time :)

    Everyday is a new day and a new start. Wake up and be thankful for a new day. Focus on being positive. I found that reading The Secrect really helped me on a lot of issues . Good luck and dont ever give up:)

    hey, good luck guys!! i always have trouble too, and something that seems to help people is using social media like facebook. people that stick with their diet are people that just tell everyone that they are on a diet, and that they are exercising. you basically need to turn into one of those annoying ppl at your office that tells everyone how many calories they ate and how long they exercised for. if you use my fitness pal to post your exercises and calorie goals on to your facebook page, you'll have the support of a lot more people.

    good luck!!

    rob, the website has tools that you can use to input your own meals and recipies to help you track calories of home cooked meals. and their are tricks to do too. use a 1 cup measuring spoon to serve yourself in a bowl. wait five minutes before seconds to allow your body to digest a little.

    Hello all! I am so excited that I found this website so far it has been a great help. Until I started tracking EVERYTHING I eat I didn't realize how many calories I was consuming, every bite counts and they can add up quickly.
