I am new on this site and I am looking for friends and support. I really want to lose weight but lack the will power and motivation to stick to a meal plan and exercise. I want to lose some weight to feel better about myself and to look better while performing with my belly dance troupe!

    I'm new too and very dedicated to getting to my goal this time. I did well 2 years ago losing weight and exercising but changed jobs, started commuting and bad habits came back. Put on 25 lbs in the past year and a half and stopped being able to chase the kids and be happy. I'm here. That's what counts.

    I just started today too. Started the week so well and then just went nuts today! I find that once I've eaten one "bad" thing I just can't stop cos I think...I've ruined it today anyway so why not! Saw this site and thought it might be quite good to have more motivation.

    Good luck everyone!

    Heya, I was very much like you when i started i start off well then get fed up and lose interest. This time i am determined to hit the target that I usually get close to and then stop trying. I've been here since November time and have lost most of my baby weight, so then im on the home straight to get me into that 'IDEAL' weight barrier.

    Always happy to support new people striving for the same goals- and new friends means more support, feel free to add me and good luck!! ;-) x

    Welcome, add me if you want, this is a great place to be!! Also any other new peeps...I'm just a click away!!
  • I am a new member as well, started to get fit and live a health lifestyle mid January. First week is the hardest after that it becomes common practice and know your doing good to your body. Keep it up, I went from 14 stones to 13.1 stones in around a month (5kg loss or 11lbs).

    SpartAAAA!

  • Hello! Welcome! I just started last week, so I'm quite new here. All in my life I was doing lot of sports, but I've never been satisfied, especially because of my belly which never wanted to be less fat, but I thought If I do enough sport I can eat whatever I want...Well around 2 years ago I went abroad and I didn't have possibility to do sports like before, but I was eating like before (I can see well the result...) and more, because if I don't make anything I just eat more. It's a bit hard not to eat whenever and whatever I want, but I hope it will work :) But we can help each other, and like this we don't have to feel alone :)))))
  • hi! we're all here for the same result! reasons vary from health to just wanting to look good... great support here! Add me if you'd like! :)
  • :glasses: HELLO ALL,

    Feel free to add me also. I have been with MFP for two months now but I have lost more weight and gained more recipes/friends/workout tips than in the last year.
    I quit smokig and feel in love , so in the midwest winter that equals 20-25 lbs lol. I gained it one bite, one meal, one day at a time and thats how I intend to get it off.
    Found a nice quote today that sums it up.. TEAMWORK - dividest the task and multiples the success!!!! Keep your head up and remember the valleys are just as important as the mountaintops. :flowerforyou:
