Hi dental, we all need encouragement trust me. Losing weight is not easy, but with like-minded people it can be done! In fact I don't think it can be done without other people to help us. You joined fitness pal, so that's already an accomplishment! The first step.

PS, do you guys know of the best way to communicate? What does adding friends do? Is it like a reply all button? Or is this forum the best way? Sorry you guys, I'm a newbie and not very technical! Thanks.

Fallgirl84, I totally understand what you are saying! I have a friend who had only about 30 pounds to lose, but whenever she start an exercise program it made her absolutely starving and eat like a horse. So she could never lose weight and would get frustrated. We all know exercises healthy for us, but really, losing…

Wow melm1903, that's awesome! Me too, I'm sick of feeling so overweight. My knees are killing me all the time, I walk like a duck from side to side it's crazy! I'm 5'6" and I weigh 216lbs! Getting up from the ground or even a chair hurts, which is absurd. Are used to be a competitive gymnast as a girl, I cannot believe…

Wow that's awesome merlinralph! I hope this is a fantastic year for you and that you will have a beautiful photo to take in January 2018!

Hi mrs carola- if you aren't able to exercise, the best way to lose weight anyhow is to DIET. Doctors now say that your food intake is 90% of the equation. (It used to be they thought only 80%). So if you watch your food intake and stay within your allotted calories, I guarantee you will lose weight!!!! You must keep at it…

Hi guys. Anyone else drinking a ton of water and therefore having to use the bathroom many times a day??? Lol. Oh my goodness I barely made it just now, had to run into a Five Guys to use theirs. Of all the places! It smells so good but I've already used up my calories for today ugh! Lol

Haha yes I know what you mean about unflattering photos. I avoid having photos taken of me at all costs! And I'm tired of that! PS I started a little group in the "group" category of the "community" section because I thought that would be easier to communicate. It's called 50 pounds + to lose or something like that. It's…

That's awesome! Yes I hear you. I don't want to mess up either but I also don't want to get discouraged and then give up when I do mess up, you know what I mean? I have on that many times! And this year I'm just going to push through it hopefully. I am on a four-day streak you guys which is a lot for me LOL. I feel good…

That's awesome guys! We can do this OK? Did anyone else have a flashback to last New Year's Eve when we said that in 2016 we were going to lose all the weight? I did and I just about died. I couldn't believe another year went by where I didn't do anything about it! We must stick to it for 2017 and that's it. We just have…

Wow, I am so surprised that most of the people you started this journey with have dropped off. Well let's make sure that none of us that have commented in this little forum I started, do that! Let's stop using every excuse in the book to fall off the wagon, no matter how bad it is, let's stop using food inappropriately,…

Hi Trevor, sorry I didn't see your message until now. That's awesome that you have that goal! I have about 75 pounds to lose and I plan to do it in 2017 is well! I am sick of wearing the same old baggy clothes all the time and covering upwhen everyone else is wearing a T-shirt and shorts in the summer LOL. Also, I am tired…

Hi ladies. I am extremely untechnical, but feel free to add me as a friend I think people are doing here so that we can motivate each other? I don't have Facebook I'm afraid, but I'm on here every day logging my food diary. I'm on a three day streak of staying within my allotted calories. At night I feel tempted to eat but…

Hi metalhead, don't feel like people are being mean to you. It is true that the ideal weight is achieved through 90% diet and 10% exercise. (It used to be 80% diet and 20% exercise, but the medical profession has updated it to 90%). I am in the same boat as you, 50+ pounds to lose, so keep working on your diet using this…

Hi there! I also let myself go the last five years and now have 50+ pounds to lose. I also have (had?) a late night eating habit, but for three days straight I have fought through the urge. You can too! Let's do this! I'll request you- I'm not quite sure how to do that but I'll figure it out! Not so techie...
