    Hi folks! New to the group, will there be challenges and check-ins or just some solid supporting of each other? I'm up for either

    Hello everyone. Just joined the group myself. Stared using MFP about a week ago. So far I am loving it. I am glad to see a group for support for people with a goal similar to my own.

    Hi everyone! I'm new to this group and need all the help and encouragement I can get. I've been a member to MFP for a while now. I stopped coming but am now determined to make it work for me!

    Hi new to the group but hoping a group with similar scale (no pun intended) goals will help encourage me to get there!

    Good luck everyone

    Hello everyone and welcome to the group. I made the group because i have some friend on MFP that work with me or are real life friends and we are doing a little compettion(I am a little competitive). However; they only have small amounts to lose and I wanted to have a group of friends who were dealing with the same struggle. I have been on MFP since the new year and have lost a little over 30 pounds. My goal is to do challenges and push eachother but I also like the idea of just checking in and supporting eachother. I think I will post a challenge every Sunday night an see how it does from there.

    Hi everyone! I just found the group, and am thrilled to find a group of people facing similar difficulties to mine. I started on MFP last summer and lost almost 30 pounds. Unfortunately, I got discouraged and gave up. That led to a horrible gain of most of the weight back. I now realize that the lack of support I experienced may have been a contributing factor in that. I'm looking to lose about 150 total and I know that we can all do this together!

    Hi this will be my first group. I've lost 35 pounds already and now I'm finding that I want more friends and support. It is true that those who have less to lose don't understand. If anyone wants to add me as a friend as well, feel free!

    Welcome to the group!!! I also have a deak job so I know how hard that can me sometimes. As for your question I wonder if you are eating enough protein. Usually my protein is where a majority of my calories come from.

    Saying it out loud and then begining to do something about it is the first step. Just think you are doing more then that person sitting on the couch.

    Hi! I'm Monica - I'm a total newbie! My sweet sister sent me an iinvite and I think this is just the tool I'll need to get started :) I've got a long way to go but I've done it before so I know I can do it again. It's just such a long road. Oh well, here I go again :)

    Hi Everyone,
    I am new to the group as well. I have been reading many inspirational blogs and hope to add my own as well in the future. I would love to participate in the weekly challenges. I thinks it helps keep me on track. I have gone back to the gym and I am sharing a trainer with a friend. It is a bit embarrassing to go and work out but I know it is the best way for me to lose weight. Our trainer is vey supportive an encouraging and he really challenges me to go out of my comfort zone when working out. Good luck to everyone.

    Welcome to the group. I can so understand the embarrasing part about the gym. I just have to block everyone out and tell myself if I keep doing this they will all be watching because it will be amazing how much I lose. :)

    Hello Kristy welcome to MFP and the group. My tip is to surround yourself with people who lift you up and that so much of this weight loss journey is a mind game. Stay strong and motivated and you will succeed.

    Hi everyone! I'm new and have never joined any kind of group, and perhaps that is part of my problem. It's great to see everyone so positive and supportive and I feel very encouraged to see my journey through to the end.

    I've always enjoyed food a bit too much and fitness activities too little. I am at a time in my life now where this weight has to come off or I can look forward to all kinds of health problems. All along I've been saying, "I'll start my diet tomorrow..." and tomorrow never comes. Well this is tomorrow.

    Please feel free to add me. :)
