If your truley serious about losing weight and Im sure you all are, then do yourself a favor and add as many friends as you can handle :happy: the more friends you have on MFP the more support and motivation you will receive!!! I promise it will make a difference especially if you dont have anyone to motivate you at home. Also make your diary public or just public to friends it will make you think twice about what your eating when others can see too. GOOD LUCK TO ALL :flowerforyou: Don't forget to add me or email me if you ever need anything :wink:

You probably thought I was going to give you some long story about how you should eat healthy and exercise and you should :laugh: but we all have started weightloss before and failed in some way shape or form because most of us need that motivation and support...someone to tell you..holy crap you lost how much weight so far or awesome job keep up the great work. We need to hear that it makes us feel like we are getting somewhere and accomplishing what we are setting out to do.

Make a giant calander nail it to your wall and set a certain amount of day. I have one started with 25 days just a smaller number so I know I will stick with it. I took drawing paper and put DAYS LEFT TO GO... and wrote the numer really big and every morning I rip the old number down and one day closer to reaching my goals. :happy:

    I am going to elicit some 'buddies' to help keep me accountable. I've been doing MFP by myself for the last 3 months, and I've achieved part of my goal. I had 79lbs to lose, and so far, I've lost 25lbs, 54 to go. I can use all the help I can get. Thank you All!

    I can definitely use the support of good MFP friends who have the common goal of making a permanent healthy lifestyle changes. All of my family, other than my husband, live 16 hr.s away by car....so often, I feel totally alone, esp. since my husband is not ready to make a committment to making healthy changes. I hope he comes around some day to that way of thinking, but it has to be his decision. I need to focus on ME at this point, so I will be around and able to enjoy my life and loved ones for many many years.
    I would love to have you in my group of MFP friends. I love your positive and clear way of thinking :) Request sent :flowerforyou:

    Everyone has there days where they know they shouldn't have eaten whatever it was that wasn't so healthy but probably tasted sooo stinking good lol you can always try it out for a few days completely up to you but I noticed it really helps me eat much better

    In my few short days here, I have found this site to be very different with others because the ease of interaction with new people with similar goals. I find people here so inspiring.

    Make a giant calander nail it to your wall and set a certain amount of day. I have one started with 25 days just a smaller number so I know I will stick with it. I took drawing paper and put DAYS LEFT TO GO... and wrote the numer really big and every morning I rip the old number down and one day closer to reaching my goals. :happy:

    Great idea!! The more people you have holding you accountable for reaching your goals, the better chances you'll have of succeeding! I'm a big believer that with a strong support network, you can do anything! :)

    I like your idea of the giant calendar! I ended up putting mine in a duotang (I have other stuff to keep track of too, may as well do it in one place). It's basically a regular sheet of paper with two calendars per page and for each day I work out I get a shiny star sticker. Then it's right there in front of me how much I work out. :)

    PS: I friend requested you, I hope that's ok!

    PPS: If anyone wants to friend me, yay!

    A support system is the most important piece of exercise equipment in my life. The elliptical machine and free weights don't care if I use them or not, but friends do care if I use them. I always joke that I don't need a partner, I need an enforcer. Feel free to add me as a friend.

    Today is day 1 for me and I have been reading the message boards a lot. I really like the friendliness and support. I live alone and don't have any support system. Looking forward to meeting new friends and giving and getting encouragement.
