Afternoon everyone!!

My name is Stacy and a friend of mine mentioned this site.. so, of course, I had to check it out! Feel free to add me, as well! I've never been very good at the diet/exercise thing, and hoping that maybe being able to literally see my progress will help with the motivation.

My SW is 299 lbs..
My GW is 180 lbs..
I need to lose approximately 119 lbs. ACK! Right now, that seems almost impossible! lol

    Hi Stacy, welcome to the site. Don't worry about the final goal too much. Just think of the first few pounds and the rest will happen in time. Good luck.

    Welcome Stacy! Don't even think DIET - kay? It's a lifestyle change and if you're ready, you can do it along with the rest of us! I don't know about them but I work my cravings in, dammit - otherwise I'd get bored REALLY quickly.... Good luck and they are right... tons of supportive people on here with lots of great ideas...

    Welcome to MFP. It is a wonderful site to get you going. Just keep track of all your food intake and start moving and you should see some great results. Good luck. Feel free to add me. I have been using this site for 6 1/2 months now and am down 48 pounds....still have about 30 to go, but I will get there eventually (soon, I hope).
