Congratulations and good luck with your renewed commitment! :D

I have had mine for almost three weeks and love it. I wear it all the time. It motivates me to move. I love that it tracks my sleep activity. I love it and glad I bought it.

A few years ago, a male co-worker said to me, "Do you have any idea how hot you would be if you lost weight?" I remember I just stared at him not knowing what to say. He did not say it in a mean way. He had never been unkind to me and after a while, I chalked it up as a compliment and that most guys don't have great tact.…

If you just scrolled to the second post its there. Someone helped her post it.

Fire Burning by Sean Kingston - Best Dance/workout song I have ever heard !!!

You're here and that's also a good start and another NSV if you ask me !!

Thats's terrific and inspiring! Way to go !!

If you like thrillers, some GREAT authors are Harlan Coben and Michael Connelly. I LOVE every one of their books that I have gotten my hands on !!

Thank you for the post of inspiration! Congratulations - you look great !!!

Don't be embarrassed! You are inspiring others (like me!) Your pictures are a perfect size too! 10 lbs has obviously made a difference so keep it up! I can't wait to see your progress !! Congratulations !

Holy crap. You look terrific and just gave me a little inspiration! Way to go !!!!!

That's a goal for me too! Someday....... CONGRATULATIONS! Thats totally awesome !!

I have had my FITBIT for about a week and haven't had any problems. It took me a couple of days and a couple of questions to other users but all is well so far. I really like the sleep feature too. Maybe I can help?

Chewing gum helps me A LOT with the hunger feeling. It usually does tide me over. My favorites to chew are the Ice Breaker Ice Cubes in Bubble Breeze, Cool Lemon or Peppermint.

I love to add friends for mutual motivation - please feel free to add me, but I have WAYYYYYY more to lose than you! ;)

Yay !!! You look terrific !!!! Way to go !!!

That sounds YUMMY! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Welcome, Laura! There are some terrific people here who will help to support and motivate you. I have been on MFP for about a week and using a Fitbit for 3 days and I really hope to "do it for real" this time! Best of luck to you!

Very awesome! :D

You should be excited !!! Its a mini victory !!! WAY TO GO !!!

You are the 2nd person on MFP to make me feel completely inspired today !!!!! GREAT JOB and I hope I can have the same success !!!!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing this! I will give it a try after my next trip to the grocery store.

Personally, I chew gum and drink a lot of fluids. I am an iced tea person more than water but trying to change that. I know if I don't eat a filling meal at meal time, I am a goner and will snack. If I eat a good meal and then stay busy (either with activity or gum chewing) I do better. GOOD LUCK!

I completely agree with you when you say "this has got to work." I have waited and waited and waited to feel like I have hit "rock bottom" and I think I may finally be here. I know this is going to be a long process and I have to take it all a day at a time but I also know that there will be nothing easy about it. Best of…
