I am with you...but I am learning that you have to make the choice for you...decide that you are worth the effort and time to make the changes. Also - get friends on here - it is easy to be more honest with new people because you are not trying to hide anything! Good luck and friend me if you want!

THANK YOU @xtrout - I needed to see that in numbers and how you said it made sense. - I am worried about being hungry - but will work on it. Thanks again

Thanks for the help - My new goal this week is to eat at 1250 - even with exercising - I had no idea how to approach this - thanks again!!

So I read this thread and am still a little confused if that is possible....if my target is 1250 per MFP - do I eat that and then exercise 200 calories so it becomes 1050--- or do I eat 1450 and exercise 200 calories to reach 1250... to lose weight - I have not been eating enough so I need to figure this out.

Add me too! I am always looking for friends! I need major motivation - Good luck!!

Someone said - wow.just.wow - there are no other words I can think of...you look great!! Keep it up - I would like to know your work out routine....something I can do.....

bump for later! thanks for starting this!!

How long did it take you to reach this point?

You are AWESOME!! Keep up the wonderful work!

I have been there - as much as I hate to admit it...I do really good for a few days but then crave what I have been limiting. For example - the past few days have been good eating days for me - but I have learned that after 2-3 days I go CARB crazy - so today I made sure to add more, like crackers or noodle soup so I…

This came at just the right time - I blew up yesterday - this helped me today!! Thanks!!

I totally understand - I am very curious to see what others say and would love a stretch to do for this -

OMG - you totally put into words how I have been feeling - I joined a while ago and am back!

We are in the same boat is seems like - I am back again to MFP as well - hoping to make it work this time - My biggest problem is feeling guilty taking time to exercise - I would love to be friends with ALL of you!!

I have never been one to drink really cold water - I usually add a dash of hot water to make it room temp - I always had liquid stevia and lemon juice - tastes similar to lemonade....

Hello there, I am the same, old but new - I was very diligent about this whole thing and then saw a personal trainer. She told me to not think about food sooooo much so I stopped logging on. Well, I don't want to pay her loads of money to tell me what to eat so here I am, almost 10 pounds heavier and at the lowest…

Sound fun - count me in if there is still room!!

You all ROCK - I have been using the app as well and needed to take the next step because I was not following through - I think the buddy system is the key so let's help each other out!! ChinaRoss1 - you are awesome!!

Hey!! I am starting over too!! I use the app too and soooo need a buddy system! Just because I started posting tonight, it made me get on my treadmill for a few minutes - I think this will help!!

I think that is a great goal - one I am shooting for as well.

I am glad to find this group - it sooo describes me! My goals for 2012: Exercise more - Really push myself in Convict Conditioning Loose 20 pounds by my birthday in June Be more active with my boys. Continue to work on internal healing.

Hey there! I have done the same thing as you....just logged food and exercise - but am really needing a support group - I haven't logged on for over a week.... My name is Mara and I am 34 with 2 boys- we live in Colorado. I also work with kids, I work in a preschool. Umm, so what now?
