Hi, i've just started two weeks ago and my starting weight was 88kg and I want to go down to 65kg. Since starting MFP I've already lost 4.2kg so I've now got just over 18kg to go.. It's only been 2 weeks but I'm worried I might start losing motivation. I would love to join the group but I'm need to lose just a bit under…

Welcome MoitleTheToit! I'm from Canberra, Australia and I only just starting to get back on track to losing weight just over a week ago. Let's support each other and motivate each other. I have found MFP app really helping me to look at what I eat. I am now mindful when I am about to eat my daily calorie allowance. Good…

Thanks Froody2 for the advice. Nicole - i've added you. I have only started getting back on track less than a week ago. I found what has helped me in the office is get rid of any food in my drawers and desk so I don't continuously snack when I'm bored or stressed. I only bring the snacks that I allow myself to have. Also…

Thanks Bookfiend! I have lived with it for the last 19 years and i definitely have grown stronger. I am glad there are people here who can help motivate me and also we can support each other. It's hard because a lot of my friends are all skinny and when we go out to eat they usually say "it's ok...just treat yourself" and…

Thanks. I've actually just put an order for Lite n Easy for next week. I'm going to try it out for a couple of weeks and then try to do it myself after that. Yeah I hope I can keep the weight off in US. I'm worried about the big servings that they have though. I think I will just have to watch what I put in my mouth. I'm…

Yeah we can do it!! I am trying to lose as much weight in the next 6 weeks before my holiday to the US (California). I'm worried that I will put on the weight back but hopefully if I can persist and change my habits I can at least maintain my weight during my holiday.

Thanks Manda. I've managed to do 1200 cal or just a bit more in the last few days... I have been finding that I'm getting hungry in the afternoon.. What kind of lunch do you usually bring to work (other than steam fresh vegies and eggs)? Also, I'm going to the US for 3 weeks in October. Any tips on how I can keep losing…

Thanks Traycharry! I am trying to get rid of all the unhealthy food I have at work now and only bring what I need. It's been 4 days since I've started and I've already lost 1.2kg...so I'm hoping I can keep it up and lose more. I am going overseas in 6 weeks to the US so I really would like to lose some and not gain any…

Hi Candace! Welcome to MFP!! I've signed up to MFP years ago but only just getting back on it this week. Like you I've also done all those diets and I keep stoppinng and gaining all the weight back. Even though I've only started 4 days ago I am already starting to see results. The main thing is to eat a balanced diet.. Do…

Ho. I'm also hoping to have a flat stomach some day. I've been struggling with my weight for years ever since I had my brain tumour operation when I was 8 years old. I am now determine to try and lose the weight. Looking forward to meet people who have the same goals so we can support and motivate each other!

I also just started and need supportive friends to help me keep it up. I want to lose 20kg (around 40 lbs I think) and hoping to lose this by mid next year. My starting goal is 10kg first though. Let's support each other!

Hi, I'm the same here.... I only just started a few days ago... I am finding it slightly hard to keep to the 1200 calories but hopefully it will get easier with time.

Wow it's great to see lots of Aussies here. I'm also from Australia - I'm in Canberra...

Agree with ladyark and 15poundgoal. Cucumber slices and lemon slices add nice flavour to water. I have no trouble with drinking water - I have a 500ml bottle with me at work and I find that I go through around 5 bottles a day or more. If you still don't like water with added cucumber or lemon slices try the Now Foods…
