This week... 1. Eat breakfast everyday before I leave the house. 2. Get to the pool. 3. Bed by 11 (I need to sleep!). 4. Get out walking. Hoping for a good week for us all :)

I'm below 400, I've lost over 50. I'm just stunned.

There is a huge flight of stairs in my daughters school; it was her Parent's Evening last night and I walked up those stairs to get to her classroom and was just fine!

You've got this! It isn't luck, it's your hard work and you've proved that you can do it :)

Hi guys *waves* thanks for setting up the group :)

Hi Nichole! My name is Donna and I'm very similar to you. I'm also 36 and been overweight my whole life. I started back on the MFP train on the 15th January at 449lbs and would love some company on the way down the scales and to some semblance of fitness :)

Well 3 out of 4 isn't bad! Didn't get back to the gym (unless I manage it tonight!) but stuck to the other 3. Got to dream up March's goals now...

Hi Kezz! We all got here over a lifetime of choices and it'll take a while to retrain our thoughts and feelings. As the ladies said above, try not to overwhelm yourself. Small changes add up over time and we have each other as support and help. :)

I tried to explain this to a well-meaning, naturally thin, little bit clueless dietician. Imagine an alcoholic. They're told that they have to give up their addiction. Just stop it. Oh, but you have to drink a few times a day to live. Just in moderation... And the right type of drink. Can you imagine?! People just don't…

Hi Kristen :) I'm Donna and yesterday started week 4 for me, so we are on the same journey. It's going to be a long one but we'll get there. I'm looking for friends and support too, so feel free to add me.

Keep it going, guys. Good idea, triple F! For February goals... 1. Stick to no fizzy drinks. Just water and teas. 2. Keep going to the pool. 3. No take outs allowed! 4. Get to the gym. Intimidated at the thought of walking back in but I can do this.

Great job, hun. Keep it up :)

Hi Bella. We're starting over together :)

Hi all :) I'm Donna-Marie, I'm 36 from the UK and my current weight is 419. I live with my other half, our 4 children and a menagerie of animals. I've always been overweight and only ever got heavier over the years. Frankly my motivation up until this point has sucked. It really is true that you have to decide to do this…

I hope you had a great anniversary! Great job on your six month achievements, inspiring! Looking forward to seeing what else you can accomplish :)

My goals this week... Go back to the gym. Start my strength training at home again. Keep positive! I hope the last one sticks. Was feeling the best I've felt in years for most of the day before my eldest daughter, who is autistic, had a really bad evening. Leaves you emotionally drained. I still stuck to my food goals for…

Hi, I'm a Mum of 4 from the UK with at least 200 to lose. Maybe we can help each other?

*waving to everyone* Hello. I'm the same as many of you seem to be, on daily but not in groups. I'll make more of an effort to come in and catch up with everyone. The more friends on here, the better! Currently at 419 <eek!> but 23 down so far, so it's a start. Hope to see you all as we wander down this journey together…

He has very large... um... shoes *grins*

She's doing a 10 stretch for car theft and there are no conjugal visits :(

I was jealous of her eyes.
