    Good luck to all of you. I haven't seen to many males on here, but I am sure there are a lot. I have lost 14.5 pounds so far and I know all of you can make your goals. I follow this program every day and I am already feeling better. Good luck to all

    Good luck Rebecca. My sister had me join this site last year and back then I thought it was a hassle to enter in every little thing you ate. Was I wrong!! Now that I am keeping track this year I've actually lost some weight!

    HEY!!!!!! Sounds like the same boat I'm in!!! My family is not all that excited when I told them I lost 5 lbs one time. You'd think I'd gained 5 by the way they looked at me. Like... "Big whoops! No one cares!!!" But I've gotten over them. Instead, I talk to my friends and MFP friends about it. That's where the excitement is. I slacked off for a while but now I'm back and motivated to lose weight again. Feel free to add me and good luck with your journey. :D

    Your punchline and delivery are way off. No offense.

    Might I suggest.

    So, a fat girl walks into a bar. Which kind of hurts. She should have ducked.

    Welcome, and your story of listening to you and getting out of an abusive relationship is really inspiring; hopefully it will help someone else that you share it with! There's lots of good support on here (and also some bad - but such is the internet), so please feel free to add me. Heck, I'm excited when I lose even 0.1 pounds :)

    Nice to meet you Rebecca. I too just started on my weight loss journey. It is super important to stay motivated and be surrounded by people who are going thru the same things as you are.:smile:

    This might sound cliche, but "you go girl"!! I'll friend you just to watch the progress. I'm a single father of 3 and I'm training for a half-ironman race in California in July - and I'm new to the site, but I love it. The message I have for you is this: you can do it. We're on different levels of fitness and health, but that doesn't change the fact that we're both trying to be the best "self" we can for ourselves and for those we love. I am trying to send you a link to a great article that I think might give you encouragement. I found it very intriguing. If the link won't attach, the title is 'Which Traits Predict Success? (The Importance of Grit) by Jonah Lehrer. It's worth the 5 minutes it takes to read it. What I think you'll take away from it is that we all have the potential to train ourselves into good, if not great, habits and be the best at what we set our minds to. Best of luck to you, I look forward to updates and watching you reach your goals!!
