Add me too! I've only been going for a few weeks, but I'm going strong and already feel the support of my friends is backing me up! Good luck in your journey!

I have three kids and that's all I can handle! But I try to eat pretty clean (limit the processed foods). I'm not perfect, but this is not about perfection. For me, It's about consistency, and I want to keep going and do the work--every day.

You too? In the past I have done this same thing--going strong -- life happens -- stop! But right now I'm going strong and I'm going to continue to go strong. The support I'm getting from friends here on MFP is really helping. Add me if you want.

TODAY I will change my life. I'm taking it slow one day at a time. And I'm hoping that today and today and today and today will add up. I have to take it one day at a time or I won't do it! And this time, I'm going to keep doing the work --today and today and today! Good luck on your journey!

Thanks for all of the great recipes--they all sound awesome! Now that I have discovered lentils, I have something new to cook--love it! Seriously thanks!

I've been back for a week--and I'm so addicted! There's so much great stuff on here. Great people too! MFP is a great place to be.

http://thecheapskatecook.com/2012/02/16/bacon-cheese-lentil-pie-with-vegetarian-option/ So here's the link to the recipe I made--it was really good. I put it in to MFP recipes and it comes out to 353 calories a serving. It's not really a light recipe as is. When I make it again I will bake mine in a single serving dish and…

Thanks you all for these great ideas! This is why I love MFP -- I never would have thought of these on my own! Seriously -- thanks!

String cheese also works for me!

I'm one week going strong. We can certainly be friends--I'm just trying to be healthy in my life and in my body. When I read your post, I thought of this you tube video that really inspired me -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX9FSZJu448. I really think you can do it! Good luck friend!

You inspire me--from a fellow Minnesotan! Love your saying "A year from now, you will wish you had started today!" Thanks for sharing your story!

I'm so just beginning to be more active again--after taking too much of the summer off--but here's by two cents: I think you would be in good shape just trying to add variety and do different things in the gym. I went to an orientation at my gym (which if they have at your gym, I'd recommend--it gave me lots of ideas) and…

Thanks for sharing your story--it inspires me:)

Who knew it was so easy? I too wondered how people did the side by side picts -- thanks for asking the question:)

Hi -- I'm 5' 7" too , also looking to ready 150 lbs. Please add me as I have no friends. Would love to share the journey with you -- and need support also! Jen

I'm going to track every day this month! I can do it!

Checking in for team 5 -- 207.5 (a 1 lb loss--I'll take it)

Just went to the endocrinologist for the first time yesterday about my recent thyroid numbers. I was hoping she would send me home with no problems, but it turns out I have a nodule on my thyroid. So I'm in limbo for a little while until I have an ultrasound and biopsy (next week). I'm a bit nervous about all of this, but…

Weigh in today --208.5. Let's do it team 5!

Thanks for the tip. I hadn't thought of connecting to people who are working the same program, but makes sense. I've thought about trying C25K. . .

Drinking the water, lately, has been a great motivator for me. Every time I take a big drink, I am feeling strong because I'm on target. Every 10 minutes when I'm hitting the bathroom (small bladder here), it's a reminder that I'm working toward my goals. And I think my body is feeling better because I'm getting the water…

Hey you all! I would SO love to join your group and connect with other moms! Some times I feel so isolated at home, and I could really use the support of others who know what I'm going through. I just joined MFP and am tracking for the first time in a very long time--which is a great accomplishment for me. And I want to…

Count me in! Bring it on!

I'm a user of food too. Recently I heard Bob Greene on Oprah (I'm an Oprah fan) make a comment something like this that really spoke to me--"you are never going to beat this problem. This is a problem that you have always had--and you will probably have it for the rest of your life. Your results are simply about how you…

I agree--blog for you. Blog what you have to say--it's a great way to document your journey. And if people do want to comment or have a conversation about your thoughts, that's an added bonus. I do like blogging through a different platform, because I can save my posts and add to them when I have time before…
