in Success Stories
WOW! I have been struggling with my weight my entire life it feels like. I've always been the one to start this diet or that diet, do good for a week or so and then give up completely. I've tried everything under the sun.. Atkins, WW, EVERYTHING. But, this time is different. It's so much more than a "diet".. I'm re-learning how to eat. I officially weigh 268 lbs today. I haven't been lower than 275 in YEARS so this is a huge deal. I started the 30DS last week and have been at the same weight for a whole week.. It was really frustrating and at one point I even changed out my batteries in my scale (haha) but this morning all my hard work paid off and it FINALLY moved :)

I've been on this site for about 2 months now.. I've only made one friend so far but I think that's a bit my fault. I read the success stories EVERY DAY but never really post anything. Just seeing all of you beautiful people succeeding and doing well makes me happy, motivated, and for once in my life.. not alone in my struggles. I have turned my mom and my aunt onto this site so far and plan on getting even more people on here! I think MFP is amazing and I am so thankful I found it. Thanks to all of you for sharing your successes and keeping me motivated! :heart: :heart:

    I'm with you.

    I read the success stories every day as well. It helps to know there are others with farther to go than me who've done it so there's no excuse as to why I can't. :smile:

    That's awesome! I'm on LV 3 Day 2 of 30DS and I have lost inches already. I don't see the scale moving much, but I've been having trouble with that lately. Inches lost, though, is a good thing. Keep up the great work and feel free to friend me if you want!
