So I have only been a member of My Fitness Pal for maybe a week or so. However during that week, I haven't really done much on here. I have attempted to track a few things but thats about it. However today I am getting serious about this. I am going to track my food and my workouts, and I am going to finally lose these 15ish pounds that I have been wanting to lose for years now! I could really use some friends and some support though. Feel free to add me. Also, anyone have advice on how to stay dedicated? I would really appreciate all the support/input I can get!

Welcome and well done on taking the steps needed. I think the key to keeping at it is getting encouragement and support from friends. Nothing beats it.
All the best and I will send you a friends add!0 -
Yes! I need friends who have the same goals as me and friends who will encourage me to keep this going! Thanks for the support (:0

How to stay dedicated...for me, I think the biggest part has just been to not beat myself up when I miss a day. I have 3 kids and a very busy life, so sometimes I don't get my food and exercise entered...if I miss a day, I just try to key it in after the fact and be more diligent going forward, but I do NOT let it give me an excuse to quit. Every day is a new day to start again!0

Thats a really good method. I think often I am way too hard on myself. I just added you. We can do this!0

I'm in the same boat, however I've been on the site for about a year. I was hardcore for a good 6 months and lost 30 lbs! But then the holidays rolled around and I haven't been able to get back on track. Add me! I found that adding new friend periodically and interacting with them is great motivation to keep visiting the site and stay on task!0

Yay! We can get back on track together. 30 pounds is a big deal!0
