Hey everyone!

I have officially lost 15 pounds, 9 since I started using MyFitnessPal. I have always sorta struggled with my weight, but it seems like every time I try to lose it, I lose around 10 pounds and then start wanting to give up because it's hard. I'm starting to hit that point right now and I don't want to! I want to finally lose the weight-once and for all!

So, I'm in desperate need of a lot of encouraging Pals to support me and help me to keep going! I realize how important support is when it comes to trying to lose weight.

Please feel free to add me so that we can help and support each other. I know that I certainly need it!

Signed,

Help me stay on the band wagon.

    I'm with you. In the last two years I've probably lost the same ten pounds five times. I'm committed to getting past that first ten to the next thirty this summer. You can add me if you want. I'm here most days.

    Try not to make it a diet. Don't change things to fast. I like bad food. Do i try and make my good food taste bad w/ out the guilt. For example i love no bake cookies. Love love love..... anyway i got carried away.
    My husband made this up and it helps.
    A serving of cooked oatmeal, serving of all natural peanut butter, some splinda and add some baking COCA who knew, Its good for me too.

    Change things slowly eat what you want just stay with in the goals you set for your self.

    I could have wrote your post! I have lost close to 20 pounds since last September with the last 10 fluctuating over the last 6 months now. I really want to lose 50 more pounds to get to a happy goal weight for me but I just can't seem to get there! I just joined MFP today after trying some of the other online calorie tracker sites and I really like what I see so far. My motivation has been waning the last few weeks and I am looking for something to get me back on track so making Pals on here would be great!

    Hi everyone!

    JinksE21-Congrats on losing almost 20 lbs! That itself is a great accomplishment! You should be very proud, stay positive. If you stay as positive as possible and tell yourself you CAN lose the rest of the weight then you WILL. Think of how far you've come, keep going-- you CAN do anything you set your mind to.

    I'm very excited to be part of the MFP community. When I was in college I lost about 25 pounds but I've recently gained about 10 back, I'm currently trying to lose those 10 pounds and I hope MFP can help! I look forward to motivating and encouraging each other through our weigh-loss journeys!

    I'd be happy to help!! I have the same motivation problem. Most of the time my binge eating disorder tries to creep up on me, and after a while I just give up. We can do it!!
    Feel free to add me!!! I'm on several times a day!!
