Wholeheartedly dedicated - are you?

I started 8 days ago, but waited to do my "Hi, I'm here!" message.
My goal is to check the message boards and converse at least twice a day.
I seriously am looking for others that are "wholeheartedly dedicated" to support each other.
While I realize that life throws curve balls, it's how I allowed myself back into this predicament, we must try to remain steady.
So, if you are looking for a buddy - a committed one - I'm her.
Thanks for reading, I look forward to 'meeting' you.
PS - My starting weight 340.2 - so I'm going to be here awhile!!!

Way to go. Stay motivated. Stay focused. Build habits. Habits turn to routines. One those are set, it will feel "weird" not to stay focused.
I have had people collecting :friends", but weren't motivated to give, and get support and inspiration. Count me in! You got this!3 -

Stop starting over. Keep going. lets make it day 8. Then 9. Then 10. You get the idea. You got this!3 -
Thanks so much. I don't want a collection of friends. I need a supportive and committed network. If friendship develops that's an added bonus.
Thank you so much for your frankness, I need that!2 -
Friends are friends. Like-minded friends are different. They motivate, inspire, and are dedicated to the cause. Like I just posted in another thread, if they are idle 30 days, I deleted them. I am getting ready to clean that list.

Welcome to the group
There's many here who've been very successful with their weight, fitness and health goals and are a wealth of info. Get plugged into some of the threads and then start tracking your calorie intake and aim to hit the calorie deficit that MFP set for you.1 -
Update - Things are going well, I have had several people ask to be 'friends' and their support has been very important on this very long journey that I am on. Thank you to those that have posted comments here. I come back and re-read them often. You are all inspirers, something I didn't take advantage of last go round.
Have an amazing day!1 -
Good luck to you on your journey! I also started about a week about and I am in it to win it! I currently have about 15 pounds to lose. My goal is to gain so much more energy by eating as clean as possible. I already feel better just by cutting out the sugar and the junk but I am also feeling withdraws. Feel free to add me if you want to motivate each other.1

I'm in. I was laying there last night sick and tired of how much weight I put on over the course of three years. My starting weight is 309 so I have a long ways to go too. Blargh...we'll get there; one day at a time.2

I’m at 60 some odd days now and 25 pounds down, I have a lot more to lose and will be here awhile, feel free to friend me.1

My name is Pat and I'm 56 yrs old. I hit my highest weight of 355 lbs in Oct. 2017. By Feb. 2018 I had dropped 42 lbs but then I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer; since then I gained back about half of those pounds. My other medical history includes high blood pressure, arthritis and depression, and now I have been diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. I started my most recent weight loss journey on Feb. 12 and have lost 16 lbs so far. I would love to have a group of friends for support and encouragement along the way.2

Hi PatRN52 - you can count me in for support - please feel free to friend me.
I am sadden by your diagnosis, but inspired that you haven't given up and started again in February!
16 pounds is amazing in under a month. Keep up the good work!1 -
I’m here! Feel free to add me. I’m on week 2 :-)0

I take it day by day, meal by meal - started over 300 days ago.1

I am checking in to see how others are doing. Very happy to have not missed a day of logging in, or doing some sort of exercise.

When you hit a roadblock (like rain) that prevents outdoor physcial activity, and don't belong to a gym, what do you do?

Hi Guys .. good to see you all so enthusiastic.. it is contagious when i see others motivated. To nynjcitygirl.. I enjoy exercising with HASFIT youtube videos when I don't feel like going to the gym in winter. There are many other videos you choose from. Today I am re-starting after 2 years as I am just back from a month long vacation in India. I now need to loose the weight I put on. Heading to the gym.. Good luck everyone.1

hope I am able to find this thread again.. not too familiar with community on mfp and the email address I have used for MFP is not the one I use most often. I will try to check back here every other day. Hi PatRN52 what an amazingly determined person you are!! Sorry to hear that you have had all these health set backs. You're definitely a good example of "when the going gets tough, the tough get going". I am inspired by your attitude PatRN521

cathysyng - please feel free to friend me, will be easier than trying to support each other here.
My apologies for the delay in replying as I don't look here very often.
