Hi! I am 5'3, and need to lose 70 lbs. feel free to add me. We need all the support we can get.

I have to remind myself of this, daily. We got this!

Good morning! How's everyone doing today? It's been a good week so far. Last night I had my first official 'Not so good for you' meal, in 3 weeks. I stuck to my portion control and didn't feel guilty. Today is a new day! Make it a great one!

@blp66 I have discovered that the word "Diet", is a huge roadblock for me. Changing the way we eat and look at food can't be temporary. If we do a temporary "Fad diet", we will get temporary results. I literally just had this realization a few weeks ago. So I will not ever be on a diet again. Instead, I am eating healthy…

Great advice @tanyabrillhart9! Thank you for sharing!

@mommapj0918 Great start! We got this!

What great advice and words @1mumrevolution! Thank you so much for sharing.

@tanyabrillhart9, truly inspiring!! Congratulations on such a great achievement! Any tips or advice?

Yes it is @CBOEGuy! Congratulations!

Very true @jimmckenna68.

I find myself getting on the scale daily, again. I realize that when we weigh ourselves daily, the scale goes up and down maybe by a half pound sometimes. I have this thinking that if I check it daily, I will stay more focused. I don't want to shoot myself in the foot either. How often do you guys weigh? Thoughts?

What a great weight loss @sanfromny! It's so great that you caught it now and got right back on track.

Great advice @CBOEGuy ! That is the truth, for so many of us. It is a lifestyle change. There are certain things, that I cannot allow myself to have. We all have triggers. Knowing them and choosing to stay away from them, is so important.

Good morning! I love reading all of the new posts. So inspiring! It's so nice to have each other, for encouragement. No matter what part of the journey you're on, we got this!

That is great! @Kimberly789 Very inspiring. It is a constant battle, for sure. I haven't ever done meal prep, but I know a lot of friends that do. Maybe that's something I will try soon. It definately helps, having this group to keep each other motivated.

@melindat72 Thats awesome! Soda was a hard one for me to cut out too. I stopped getting headaches when I got off soda.

@Jeans08 Yes. Just add comments and support each other. I sent you a friend request.

@melindat72 I can totally relate. I am so glad to have this group and app, to help keeps all motivated. It is a hard and constant struggle. For me, I've found cutting out soda, fried foods and lowering my sugar & sodium intake have helped a lot. I've only lost a few pounds, in the last week and a half, but I feel so much…

I know that feeling very well @huogou .

Thank you @9bars! Feeling much better today.

Good morning everyone! How is everything going this week? I had a dental appointment yesterday, which got me a little off track. The good news...I lost 2lbs yesterday...the bad news...apparently I have to drink a liquid diet to lose weight like that.

@CollieFit So glad to have you in our group! Congratulations on the upcoming wedding! That is definately a huge motivator.

Great idea @latineyes2 Thank you! I will do that!

Welcome @portlandsundevil & @kcalli44!

Good morning! What's everyone doing today, to stay focused? Mfp is really helping me. Today I am going to focus on getting active.

That is awesome @wrenegade64! Congratulations! Any tips or advice?
