    Hello! I could also use some support...I've had so many attempts at weight loss only to give up before really giving it a chance for results. I am starting again and have recently started blogging about it in hopes that it will keep me motivated to follow through. My self image is really slipping away and I no longer think I am attractive. I am getting ready to turn 32 and really want to feel good about my body while I am still "young." Plus, almost every member of my maternal and paternal family has type II diabetes...not a fate I wish for. I really need the support and motivation to get a grip on my health before it is too late.
    Here is the link to my blog if you are interested:

    Hi Vicky, I'm Millie and I really need support also!! I've been tracking my food and exercise for awhile now and like you have never ask for support! But I'm asking now!!!! I've lost 30lbs and have MORE to go!! Its so easy for me to say "Forget it, I'm not counting today!" Then I get back to the scale and "OH MY!!"I am 50+, I live in Chico, California, a college town where image is so important, to the young hotties anyway. I'm not trying to compete, just trying to get some of it back!!n HA HA Add me and we can help each other.

    Hi Vicky,

    I don't usally get involved with supporting others because I am really a very self motivated individual. But I have had good results and maybe I should start trying to help others where I can.

    If you look at my profile on bodybuilding.comyou will see pics from when I was 248 lbs. Not pretty. I worked hard to get down to my current weight but have been stuck here for awhile. I am on my second week of Kris Geithins 12 week Transformation. I hope to lose a least 10 pounds in 12 weeks. I have lost 4 in the first 2 weeks.

    Try looking around bodybuilding.com for different programs to help you. Don't beat yourself up if you have a bad day, forget it and move on. I look at it like this, it took me many years to get my body fat I cant expect it to go away to quickly.

    http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/rgs9559/ My profile should be under RGS9559

    I work out at home. I have a chaulk board that I have written three words on: Determination, Focus, and Discipline. When i am tired I look or think about those three things. Using this frame of mind I just avoided birthday cake , pizza and ice cream this week.:) But I also went out to eat once and had some buffalo wings.

    I am not an expert but have made some progress slowly, Stick with it!

    Hi there! You can add me. I am in the same boat. I've lost count how many times I have started and gave up. Decided to have another go at it this week. I really don't want to lose my motivation this time, especially before I see results! Support and inspiration is welcomed and I will do the same for you!

    Yes. Trying to lose weight can be depressing and frustrating. Keep tracking and reframe the negative self talk to positive! You can do this! You have probably succeeded in other things in your life. How did you do that? Keep the faith!

    Hi Vicky,

    I know exacltyhow you feel. I initially lost 68 lbs. But I have yet to reach my goal of my boot camp weight of 169lbs. (its been over three years)I have really struggled lately and think maybe it is time for me to start asking for support too. Look at all these people came forward to help you. I think that is preety cool.
