      Good luck to you! I made my lifestyle change on january 1 2011 - started with weight watchers, but came across MFP around June and I LOVE it!! I lost 96 pounds last year, and I would like to lose another 40-50 pounds. :)

      Morning!!! Im new as well - I started this life style change journey two yrs ago and lost 50 pounds...and recently have come up against some new and challenging health issues - and was on the verge of giving up - but a very dear friend told me about this site and I have decided not to give up!!! I would like to lose 30 pounds...You know to do it right and to keep it off it should be about a pound a week!!

      Well Happy New Year and good luck

      I have started and stopped lifestyle changes with some success up to this point. In the past (not claiming it now) I would give up when I had a challenging food day then I would procrastinate getting back on the health train. I reminded myself a few months ago that there is no "starting tomorrow" (my old saying), I started when I was first challenged with my weight decades ago. I am looking forward to a healthy 2012 with good and long term fat loss. My goal is to be at my desired weight and BMI by June 1st. Best wishes to all!
