Hey MFP friends! Thank you all SO much for the kind words and advice and support. :) Sharing stories with you guys, and just knowing you're out there and that I am not alone is a HUGE help! I can do this :) I think I really need to start by getting all the junk out of my house. Having chips in the cupboard is really not…

Hey there! I, too, really need some motivation and support in my weight loss journey. I think it would be great to have a place where we can hold each other accountable and use the buddy system to succeed together. What is your goal?

Thanks for the response TeaBea. Do any of you use an activity tracker, such as a FitBit? I so, do you recommend it? I have my eye on the Misfit Shine, does anyone have experience with it?

When I began this journey, I invested in my first-ever pair of real running shoes: Nike Air Pegasus. But my feet have been in…

Thanks for the encouragement. :) I'm using the C25K app by ZenLabs on my iPhone. It has a "coach" that interrupts my music and tells me when to run/walk, which is great. I'm on W2D1, but I just realized I'm not spacing out the workouts properly. Last week I did week 1 days 1,2,3 consecutively, and then took Sunday off…

Thank you so much for all of the responses! After some consideration, I ordered a digital food scale from Amazon. I was surprised at how relatively inexpensive they are, I was expecting them to cost $50+! I plan to use it to get a better idea of how much I am really consuming as I journey toward my goal weight, yet I am…

As of right now, I would like to lose 116 pounds. My goodness, that number is daunting. I feel ashamed that I let myself balloon this high, and now I will have to fight hard to work it off.
