Make friends on MFP, and help them, they'll help you back in the times you feel frustrated or unmotivated. If weight loss is your goal, or just some number on a scale, then you can give up easily, because it's just a number. So have a goal - something that you'll reward yourself when you get to your goal, and be committed…

Thanks brower, I think it is a Friesian... that's my motivation - when I get to my goal weight, I'm getting my own horse. Maybe a Friesian if I win the lottery, lol. Wanted a horse all my life, now nothing but my weight is holding me back. :-) So from what everyone is saying, I think I'll hang on where I am for one more…

That's really helpful, thank you

Wow, that is really motivating, thank you!!

lol... just need my body to obey my goals...

I've added exercise to my routine - swimming laps, skating, a riding lesson once a week (don't worry it's a big horse ;). I've worked up to swimming 3/4km once a week. I've also added smaller things like push-ups, stretching, and ping-pong at work every few days. So not a gym... but active. Mostly staying inside my macros…

I'm in Durham, just east of Toronto! Feel free to add me :-)

I liked it, made my husband watch it, he eats too much processed food and soda If you liked Hungry for Change, watch the Ted Talk by Jamie Oliver that's mentioned in the movie - INSPIRING. Search Youtube for "jamie oliver ted award" to see it.

That's my every day. :) I usually opt for a bowl of Fibre 1 Crunchy Cereal in almond milk with fruit and berries. Only 150 calories and really fills me up. If I'm still hungry after that I'll eat some fruit, a peach, apricot, or some strawberries - yum.

I'm disappointed this week, because somehow my weight went up a pound. I've been more active and eating OK, I lost 4 lbs over the holidays doing the same. I've noticed that after exercising I'm not sore now and I'm not getting "jello-legs" any more. Does this mean that I'm gaining muscle, and could this be the reason for…

Nice to meet you, feel free to add me! I've also got a fair bit to lose

At my weight, some of the exercise I'm doing is burning major calories - 800+ calories burned in a day. I can't eat all that back. I had a day recently I burned something like 1200 calories in a day, I was so tired afterwards I fell asleep for the night. The next day I was so hungry I over-ate by a lot, and I'm pretty sure…

Feel free to add me, and that's an open request for everyone. The more we can support each other the better!

I log in almost every day, I'll send you a friend request

I hear you, I have a lot to lose, and motivation is the key. I'll add you, thanks

Interested - how did you lose the weight? Any tips you can give us?

I'm in! Let's motivate each other

I'd like to join this challenge, thanks! I'm aiming to lose more than 52 pounds, but I don't expect it to be all this year. I've been overweight since before I was 1 year old, I don't remember ever not being overweight, but now it's time to take it off for good. I'm a working Mom in a sedentary job which makes things…
