I have at least 100 lbs to lose. I've lost 11 lbs in the last month (my first month), I just found this website and love it so far but don't have any friends on here. I need motivation as I don't have much around me here so thought this site may help. So far I've tried watching what I eat and I drink nothing but water and alot of it. I'm going to try to add excercising next week. I work all day, come home, then theres dinner, baths and homework with the little ones. Theres not much time left but I'm GOING to make time. I'm determined so far but so scared I will lose that determination. I need some helpful words to keep me motivated. All this is to better my health and watch my babies grow up! Thanks!

    Good luck on your quest. MFP is great. Tracking the calories has helped me a lot. I find it a great program that us easy to follow. I am more that willing to help provide motivation to you. Feel free to friend me if you want. You are doing great - keep it up.

    Hi everyone! I'm new to this site and is excited to be a part of it. I have lost 13 pounds since March 2011. I started TurboJam 2 weeks ago, loosing 5 pounds so far, totalling 18 pounds!!! I'd like to loose 15 more pounds. Some motivating friends would be wonderful!!!

    Wow! Your results are amazing so far. I am BIG on accountability, support and motivation and have send you a friend request. I have found that if it wasn't for my husband pushing me every day to workout and MFP giving me the tool to maintain my calorie and sodium intake. My husband has lost 45lbs in 100 days and looks a-mazing! I haven't lost much but I have toned really well and have been able to keep my food in check!

    Let me know if you would like accountability on FB (I am on there much more), I love to chat with people to have similar goals as my own =)

    ~Keep up the great work!
