I made my mind up a few weeks ago that I was going to start 2012 off on the right foot. I have committed myself to losing 50 lbs this year. This won't be my first time on a weight loss journey. In 2008 I successfully lost 37 lbs. I went to WW meetings and did well. Unfortunately I gained it all back. This past year I entered a challenge with a few other friends and again lost some weight. I think I ended up losing about 20 lbs. AGAIN....I have gained it all back! My husband lost 45 lbs during this challenged and has managed to keep it off by running. He did it...so can I! So...I will soon turn 35 yrs. old and I know it's time to get serious! No more playing around. I have a husband and two precious little girls who need mom to be the best she can be. So here's to making 2012 the year of change for me. I wish everyone great success this next year and beyond!

    Thanks for the well wishes! I had never heard of this site until an hour ago! I was on another site looking for weight loss inspiration and found my fitness pal on accident. I'm already glad I found it.

    Hi! I am considering myself new today also. I have been playing around with my fitnesspal on my iPhone for months, and all
    I have done is gain weight. I lost 83lbs on Weight Watchers 2 years ago and gained it all back. I am now ready to commit to
    a healthy lifestyle and lose this weight for good!

    It sounds like your mind is made up...that's half the battle! I wish you much success. Take it one step at a time and this time next year you'll be looking back at the mountain you scaled with pride. :o)

    I'm new too and looking for buddies to share ideas with. Feel free to add me to your buddy list. I lost 50+ lbs a few years ago on Phentramine (if I spelled that right). When I came off the weight came back fast. Trying to do it the old fashioned way this time with better foods and more exercise. Right now, I need to lose between 50 and 70 lbs.
