Hi, I've been a member of MFP for a while but have dipped in and out of it. Now I'm determined to lose the weight I want to lose for my daughter's wedding next year, and my special birthday too. I'd love some encouraging words from people who've had success with MFP to keep me on track. Thank you! x

    I love the accountability and support built into MFP. its great to get encouragement from others, but your drive must come from within. Please consider the activity in my will power blog below to assist in that regard.

    good luck to you on your journey.

    Hi, you can add me if you like...I am 50 and have found this site very helpful and motivating!
  • Ohhh just think how wonderful you will look at your daughters wedding...If you don't start today..a week before the wedding you will be so cross with yourself!!...You have ample time to drop the pounds !! Keeping going is easier than starting !! I have lost almost 50lbs in 6 months...You can and will look FAB but the sooner you start the more time you'll have to do it in!!!! xxx

    Hi - Good for you for getting started! It really is a one day at a time kind of process. MFP really can provide you with the tools you need to lose weight. That's what it has done for me. I didn't really have a firm grasp on how calorie rich foods were and I used to binge terribly. Now I am really aware of how many calories I have eaten in a day and whether that means I will lose, gain, or stay the same. Personally I also find reading the success stories incredibly helpful as it helps to keep your faith in the method when the weight loss feels like it is slowing.
    Good Luck!
