Will add you! Started at over 100 to lose and still have about 60 or more lose!

Getting yourself into the mindset is the hardest thing. I would try eating a salad and then assume I had "earned" pigging out on pizza later. The biggest thing to start with that will help you - log your food on here. This is what saved me. Seeing the calories on here... I now can see why I got so big. I logged for a…

Hey, I will send you an add! I started at over 100 to lose and have lost almost 50 so far using this site. It is the only thing that works for me, so I know it can be done! I love my food and know how hard this is but you really can do this! Your doctor sent you to the right place! I am always looking for great new friends…

I'll add you! You can do this!

Having to get up two or three times a night due to terrible heartburn. Seeing my hips in the mirror - I was like wow...just wow... no more!!! Realizing my weight causes me low self esteem. I was limited in clothing that didn't "show" flab - even though I looked gross in everything anyways! This made me not even want to go…

I'm 30, almost 31 and down 42ish lbs, need to lose like 75ish more. Always looking for great friends to motivate, be motivated by, and chat about whatever! I'll add you!

Yesss, I love my sugar as well! I still drink it, but I allow for it under my calorie limit. I was stuck in the trap for so long, not knowing what to do. When I realized I could still count it under cals and enjoy, it became that much easier. I really wish I had known this years ago!

I am 30 right now, almost 31 in two weeks. Last year I dreaded hitting 30 and decided I was at my fattest. My 20s was wasted being a fatty. Joined MFP, still got a ways to go but I've lost 41lbs using this so I am happy to leave the fat 20s behind, lol. Still got a ways to go and always looking for great new friends! I…

I will add you, let's lose this weight together! I started out with over 100 to lose and still have about 70ish to go.

Being judged/criticized for "not working out". Not being able to eat without someone scanning my plate with a smirk or a snicker. I totally get the "wasting my 20s" thing. Agreed for sure. Not being able to buy riding boots because my calves are too fat. And practically ruining the top of my expensive boots that I was able…

I will send you an add! I was in the same boat last July when I hit 30. I tried a lot of things. MFP is the only thing that has worked for me because of the motivation. The motivation of others keeping you going creates motivation within yourself. I have a learned a lot in the last year. A lot. My attitude in general is…

I sent you an add! You can do this!

I seriously started at the around the same weight! This was at my 30th bday last summer. Those excuses sound EXACTLY LIKE MINE OMG THE CLOTHES !!! "I am AN 18 SO WHY DON'T THEY FIT" when in reality I was probably size 22 and in denial, lol!!! But anyways, we've been there, we understand so let's do this!!! I will send you…
-
You are looking great! Keep going!
-
The best thing you will realize is you can still have anything but limit it!!! That is the biggest thing I learned, and once I understood that I started to lose weight. I love sugary drinks but now I have one if I earned it by exercising and it fits under cals! You will look forward to your Dr Pepper even more if you just…
-
Like everyelse, I also have to say YES YOU CAN! lol...The biggest reason I could never lose weight before was because I was convinced that you had to eat healthy things only to lose weight. Since joining here I have realized that I can eat anything and still lose, and I have lost over 30lbs doing so. I've eaten McDonalds,…

30 here and that age is what made me want to lose this weight!!!
-
Totally get ya, my heartburn was getting so bad it is one of the reasons -besides how bad I looked - that I decided to finally do something about the weight. I have to say I noticed a changed in the heartburn just by losing like the first 5lbs! I hope the same for you. I will send you an add!
-
If you are just starting out, you may want to every day. I have read good advice that says if every weigh in will affect your mood for the day, then stick to once a week!
-
I started out with over 100 to lose, have lost around 31 ish so far. So many to go but I totally get ya! Let's do this! I will send you an add!

We are in second winter too! I am from SK, lol. I am also 30! Lol, I will send you an add cuz you seem fun and nice!
-
This made me sad to read cuz I know how that feels. One of things that has always bothered me as an overweight person is that we KNOW we are overweight, we know we need to change, but it is not easy as it seems. It is sadly a flaw we can't hide...but we don't need people pointing it out constantly! But anyways, just…

Hello and I will send you an add! I have over 50lbs to lose- more like 80ish, lol... I always try to positively motivate friends on here! I enjoy chatting about weight loss and such!
-
i can totally relate to this! I am also 5'8 and my goal is 160! I am a mid/large frame. 145 seems scary thin to me, to be honest. But - it all depends on the person. I will admit if I could reach 160, I'd go for 155 ish after that. But for now I would take 160 any day.

i will send you an add! i am also an introvert and quiet in real life but i definitely am more 'outgoing' online! introverts gotta stick together!
-
I will send you an add! I never ever thought I could lose weight until I joined this and being able to chat with others is fun and motivating!
-
I'll send you an add! I am from SK. Nice to meet you!

I thought I might add this. Your friend may have not necessarily lost the 30lbs if it wasn't for you, so you have to remember this is mutually beneficial for both of you. If you leave her behind she may not be motivated to keep going. That is why I like rsenor's idea! That really is a good one! Congrats to you and your…

Thanks! And yay!!! lol
