im new to mfp and i need some motivation , i recently got married and was heavier than i am now ..
i really want to lose weight so i can take new wedding photos since the ones that i took on my wedding i try to forget and hide
i really want to put up my wedding photos and remember that day as something beautiful not looking at the photo and wanting to cry
i need some motivation because when i diet for a whole week and dont see any difference it makes me want to give up . i am no longer doing this for just vanity but for my health .

    start out slow. make sure to drink the recommened 8 glasses of water or more. be active for a minimum 30-60 minutes every day. eat small meals and eat healthy. cut out junk food and pop.

    Hi...I'm 5'3' and have about that to go.....try not to give up after a week...real results take time not to mention training your brain to get used to a different life style..and it will happen if you push forward without excuses. It can be done..just take it in small segments instead of focusing on the big picture.

    You are more than welcome to add me as a friend I am on here on and off all day... You need to realize we didn't put it on overnight nor will it go away overnight. One day at a time, eating healthier, incorporating exercise and you will get results....:wink:

    Feel free to add me. I am 5' 4" and am currently at 220. I want to lose a total of about 87 pounds. So far, I have lost 6 pounds in 6 days mainly from eliminating soda from my diet and eating more than 1 meal a day. I am very excited to see what I can do once I start exercising regularly. We can motivate each other if you like.

  • Hi, I'm Amy. I, too, just started today after returning from a trip to see my in-laws & my SIL had used this site to lose 15 lbs successfully. :) I need to lose about 85 lbs at this point. That's crazy to even type!!! Is there a way to make a group for those looking to lose a LOT of weight like that??? Or, maybe this is it, LOL. Add me as a friend, too. I'll try to figure out how to do that myself. :D GREAT QUESTION, btw!
