I am new to MFP and so far I love the site. Am looking for friends to help maintain my motivation and keep me accountable. I tend to lose my motivation and end up "cheating" after a few days. I am not my best accountability partner.

I've always struggled with my weight and am now looking at this as my journey to being healthy, not dieting! I figured that I need as much support as I can get.

    Well Im getting all my ducks in a row and will be starting tomorrow. I know whats wrong with today? But I'm looking at tomorrow to be the first day of a healthy me. I stepped on the scale the other day and saw a number that I never thought I would weigh. Lots of excuses why, but it all comes down to I eat to much and exercise to little. So Ill encourage you if you will encourage me.

    juliequilts: absolutely, we can be a support to each other. I know you can do it. My official day 1 was today. I know my hardest day is going to be day 8. I have never made it past that.

    Hi! I am Suzi... just started 3 minutes ago! Lol Weighed myself and cannot believe I am at 240 lbs. Think I have been in denial for a while. My husband used this site and loved it. I have decided it is finally time to do the same.

    My goal is to lose approximately 80 lbs. So, I have a long way to go. Most of my weight came from stress eating. Now things have calmed down, I realize that I actually have time to work on my health as well. Being Mom, wife, co-worker, student, etc. I realize how difficult it is to balance everything and still maintain yourself.

    I am going to finally attempt what everyone says you have to do to lose weight... eat less, exercise more. Actually I am really glad to finally be able to have the time to do so.

    I will check in periodically. I wish you and everyone else who is checking in for the first time all the best in meeting their goals.
