Hi everyone! I am new to this and trying to have a positive attitude. I am looking for some supportive friends. I have 100 pounds to lose. Seems so overwhelming. So any advice, encouragement, help, etc. will be greatly appreciated. ;-) Thanks!

    I'm also new at this. Maybe we can be new together :)
    I started walking 2 min then jogging for 1 minute. That was a challenge! I'm getting better. If I can do you can do it to. Are you planning on working out mornings or evenings? What are your goals? Pictures are a great motivator also.

    Hi everyone... I thought I would say hello to everyone out there who are just like me trying to change our lives for the better... I have never posted on here before but just wanted to encourage you all to keep going... I was at the gym today and a poster had one word on it "PERSEVERANCE" yes that is the key..:happy :

    I have managed to loose 48 pounds so far since March 21st... I have a long journey but that long road is getting shorter... Thank God.. :0)

    Hey everyone! Im new too. I've been over eating for a couple months because of stress and I would really like to lose about ten or fifteen pounds healthfully and then learn how to keep track of my weight. I could use some motivation and help you too!

    think positive thoughts & have faith!!! add me if you like.

    I am new to MFP and hope to get general support and ideas for a healthier lifestyle plus recipes especially for low carb breakfasts with little or no eggs, LOL.
