Hey- I'm also 5' 2" (almost) and looking to get down to about 150! I'm much less patient though, I would love to lose 50 lbs in a few months

Add me too! :) I have about 70 lbs to lose and I think the support here is great!

Dude, for real though. It's the same for me on the ladies side. Lane Gyant is not cheap, and you will never find a more wretched hive of tacky and frumpy. Being able to buy clothes at any shop in the mall is definitely a big motivation.

Hi from California! Feel free to add me :). I've been on here for less than a month but so far it's great!

You are inspiring! Feel free to add me. I have about 70 lbs to lose and I'm all about support. I'm super interested in what your obesity specialist says too

I bet you can lose 40 lbs in no time! A few weeks of moving more and cutting out some of the garbage and it will melt off. But I'm happy to cheer you on if you'd like- feel free to add me too!

Feel free to add me! I think support really helps. I have about 70 lbs to lose- oh and my food/exercise diary is public. :)

Good for you!!! The gym was super intimidating to me at first. Hope you have fun! :)

Feel free to add me too! I've been actively logging for two weeks now. I have 70+ lbs to lose and need all the motivation/comradery I can get. :)

Feel free to add me- I love new friends! I'm about two weeks in and looking to lose 70+ lbs.

Hi from California!

I wish you all the luck in the world! I signed up about a week ago (75 lbs to lose). Logging everything I eat really helps me be accountable, and my MFP friends inspire me. Feel free to add me!

Life long yo-yo dieter here too. I'll send you a request. Feel free to add me if you like!

I feel the same way. I have been heavier, but I'm far from where I want to be. Keeping it off really is the tricky part. :/ I wish the weight came off as quickly as it seemed to creep back on. Wishing you the best of luck with your healthy choices!

Going to send you a request right now!

Oh no! So much tempting deliciousness! Could you budget for one or two candies and spend the day choosing the absolute best one? Or maybe walk/bike to work to burn off some extra calories? I really don't know. Let me know when you discover what works for you. :)

Sounds like you're motivated and committed- good for you!!! You can do it!

Ahaha- I know that song! Have you ever talked to a therapist about the overeating? I know for me it's to avoid feeling anxious. For a few delicious minutes I'm focused on a 'treat' and not my worries. I'm only a week in- but this app gives me something to take my mind off stressful things instead of snacking- which is…

Add me too!

Add me too!

I'm sending you a request. We can do it! I think the support here will really help.

Same here! Best of luck to you!!!

Good for you, dude! I am also trying to shed about 70lb.

Go Jacquie! Your weight loss is motivating to me! I just started MFP this week and I have about 70lbs to lose. Don't get stalled now, you've done so great!

Hey, Gabe! I also got comfortable, but I gained back everything I had lost and then some. I want to drop at least 70 lbs. I'm new to MFP and the forums. Would you like to be my first MFP friend? I'll try and figure out how to send you a request. Best of luck to you, Tess

The struggle IS real. I've been stuck at 209 for a year. I don't want to be the fat girl anymore. I feel like no matter what I do the scale doesn't go down. But I know that's not true. I know it's just simple math- if I burn more than I eat I will lose. That's why I started MFP last week, I'm going to really keep track of…

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you much! -Tess

I can relate. I have panic disorder with agoraphobia. Exercise helps me tremendously. Even just 20 mins a day makes a huge difference emotionally. Still, it's difficult to make myself do it, and I turn to food as a comfort instead. I'm hoping to change that now. It's time to feel and look good!

What did you find most helpful about MFP? I am also a food addict nearing 40, I have 70-80lbs to lose, and I'm brand new to this app. I would love to know what works.

Thanks! I'm really going to need it. :# :# Good luck to you!
