    Hey Jenna, I'm new to this site too.. I lost 69lbs since last March on my own but I found my motivation beginning to dwindle so I thought I'd join. Started on 7th March 2011 at 18st 6, now currently at 13st 7.. I wish you all the success in the world with your life style change ;)

    If you want to add me you can. Also if you watch Biggest Loser then you will know Shay Sorrells. She was on Season 8 & 9. I will get her ID so you can add her (shaeluv79). She is also posting on her status that if you want to be friended and about being that want to be friends. Just to let you know though that you can only add 5 people every 10 minutes. I found this out just last week.
    I have been on here for over a month and I am just now really getting into it. There are a lot of great features. You can join a page and do challenges so it really motivates you to want to lose weight.
    Godd Luck everyone on your journey. I am going to try to lose 45lbs, maybe more, but I would be more than happy to just lose 45.

    Welcome to MFP. It's a great way to track your calories and exercise. Add me to your group. The inspiration and motivation available within a group like this makes it doable. I have 40 lbs to lose, and I'm looking at a hip replacement surgery in 11 days. I'm terrified of what will happen when I can't lift weights or swim for 6 weeks. Although I am thrilled that I will be able to walk once again.

    Best of luck to you. Use your iphone to record food while on the go. The barcode scanning feature for new foods makes it almost fun to record what you consume.

    Keep in touch!

    I just signed up for this site tonight. I need all the motivation I can get! Wanting to lose 50lbs.
    People can offer encouragement but not motivation.

    That comes from within.
    You're already motivated, because you are here. To see this through, look deep inside and answer for yourself:
    Why do I want to be fit?
    And attach great pleasure to that as you set this goal.

    And then answer for yourself this:
    Why don't I want to be fat?
    Attach great pain to all the reasons you do not want to be fat.

    Few people can actually do this which is why most people fail.
    This is the key to internal motivation.

    Good luck!

    I've recently joined as well and could do with any motivation/support on offer, I'm surrounded by skinny model friends who don't really understand the difficulties of weight loss!

    You are not the lone ranger, SaucySimon - I have lost 50kg over the last three years (about 110 pounds) and still have a waaaaay to go. Two steps forward, one step back ... But generally heading in the right direction!
    Loving this site, use it on my phone, this is first time on 'puter. It is sooo helpful ... it is so good for motivation, helps with making good choices and makes keeping tabs easy and fun.

    You can do this, I can't believe that I have dropped from 140 to 117 in 3 1/2 months. I am now addicted to logging! I am on MFP everyday so feel free to add me as a friend if you would like.
