Hi there, Rachel! Wow fitness and health coach huh? haha i bet you make a lot of friends here. Everyone here needs encouragement and advice, and you seem like the right person to get it from :)

Hey there! how're you obey? Welcome :)

That's great! It's stories like yours that make me happy i found this place. I certainly hope to look back on today as a significant turning point in my life and remember it with fondness.

I used to have terrible anxiety years ago, almost crippling. It became hard to even leave my room sometimes in fear I might see someone and have to exchange words with them, and the thought of that terrified me. Eventually I got help and I still have issues with it from time to time, but I have learned to accept it as a…

Hi there, Blaze! I started 4 days ago. Well I started for real 4 days ago. Two weeks ago i started making a change, but i kicked it up a notch 4 days ago. Haha, that woulda been the 23rd. Just a day after you :P small world eh. I am right there with you buddy. I am starting with the eating right. I don't want to push to…

Oh wow, I am really sorry to hear that... I am so sorry for your loss. Its good that you are trying to take charge and turn everything around though, thats something to be proud of, and a great example of will power and perseverance! Also you can add me if you would like, a good group of friends can go a long way, and…

Hi there, Alexis! 12 lbs, very cool! Good job! You sound really motivated and strong. I am fairly new to all of this, i mean up until a few hours ago I had never even been on the community forums, but without a doubt you don't have to be the sharpest knife in the drawer to know that motivation and strength is going to take…

That is fantastic! Congratulations!

Hi there! Ya I know that feeling. The moment you look in the mirror and you start to like what you see so you stop being so militant on yourself and letting yourself do things you wouldn't have dreamed of months prior to it. Back when i was 23 i weighed 230, i got tired of it, so i started to do something about it. I got…

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis bud. Hey but like they always say, the night is always darkest before the dawn, and I agree with T. You can do this! Also maybe weeks, months, years from now, this very day will mark a significant moment that changed your life for the better. Stay positive and you will do great!

That's fantastic! Congratulations! So your goal is to lose 60 more or you lost 50 of the 60, and you have 10 to go? Either way that is an incredible achievement! I hope in a few months I can be proud of myself for something that significant :)

Also you are more than welcome to add me to friends if you would like. I just started using the community chat today, and I have already met a lot of really great people that make me feel like i can accomplish just about anything as long as i have the will to do so, and the same goes for you! Remember that every positive…

Hey there! I would love to help motivate and help :) Not much to work with though, what are your goals?

Well good luck! You can do it! I've been struggling with my weight for almost 10 years now. So I know how it feels to start trying to get in shape and quit. I think the best way to keep myself on track this time is take it one step at a time. Make smaller goals that I can attain on a weekly basis that are more physically…

You know the quote "Every journey begins with one step"? I think that could really help you :) The thing is I wouldn't call myself an optimist or a pessimist, but I do know what it feels like to look in the mirror and feel like my situation is hopeless. I feel like every time I have tried to lose weight in the past I…

Hi Crystal, I'm Brett, I am new too and also in need of support. I am pretty motivated at the moment, but scared that I might lose momentum at any time. I have 70 lbs to lose. Add me if you'd like, or I could add you. I feel like the more friends we have doing this together the more likely we are to succeed :)

Hi Kimberly, I am Brett, 28 TX, good luck with your goal! Sounds like you've already accomplished a lot, congratulations, add me if you would like, I am new to MyFitnessPal too. Ha, so new im still trying to figure out how everything on this site works.

Yes very much, well except for the being on and off this site, lol or the being 10-15 lbs from my goal, but it has been a rough year, and i became so self destructive with my health that i feel like i was on the brink. 2 weeks ago i decided to turn it around... well not so much me intellectually as my body kept giving me…

That is fantastic to hear! Let me start off by saying I am really sorry, that was probably very traumatizing, but the fact that you stuck to your guns and made yourself stick to your plan to do this is very impressive. Actually its inspiring. I just started this myself a few days ago. I have 70 lbs to lose, and I have a…

I am new to MyFitnessPal, and I sure could use some motivational friends, right now everything seems really good, im eating better anyways, I have been at it for 2 weeks, and I am terrified to slip back into my old habits, especially because after 2 weeks of making good decisions, i feel as good as i did back when i was…

I have faith in you, Brandy!

Good luck man! I am in the same boat. I am 28 and i've weighed over 200 lbs since i was 19. When I was 18 and younger i weighed anywhere fluctuating between 175-180 which is my recommended weight. I am now 250, 255+ by the end of the day. I'm sorry that you gotta go thru the struggle of doing it all over again, but I am…
