I'll add you too! (Anyone else here please feel free to add me :) ) The more motivation the better! I'm always here

You look great! 40 pounds is an awesome accomplishment. Congrats not only on that, but on not giving up.

I have 79 to go, anyone here feel free to add me! It's a long journey and having support the whole way makes all the difference :)

Feel free to add me... I think that the support of friends here at MFP is one of the best ways to stay motivated!

I have been fighting the urge to order pizza ALL day, hence the reason I am reading the message boards here - trying to stay motivated. Feel free to add me :) Everyone needs more friends to be accountable to!

Skin sagging has a lot to do with genetics, age, the amount of weight you need to lose and where it's distributed, and how long the skin has been stretched out. There isn't anything you can do to prevent it - sometimes it's just going to happen. But it doesn't happen to everyone. That being said, there are ways to minimize…

You look awesome, and 46lbs is a TON of weight! When you post pics, you're an inspiration to all of us who are trying to do the same thing. So thank you, and keep it up :)

It's actually very appropriate to pay attention to your macro-nutrient ratios at whatever weight you are! All calories are not created equal, your body processes each type differently. What you decide to eat should be influenced by your genetics, how you're working out, how much weight you have to lose, and other factors.…

I've learned that I tend to eat a lot more when I go in really hungry - so I make sure to have a small healthy snack before any gathering so I don't justify eating everything just because I'm "starving." If I know what foods are going to be served, I also look up the calorie information in them, so I can't fool myself into…

I'm right there with you too! Started dieting at 267 last year, and I lost about 20 lbs but I was lazy about keeping track and yoyo-ed up and down a little bit. I started here a week ago at 246 and was 239.2 as of this morning. Anyone on this thread can feel free to add me! The more support you have, the easier it is to…

It's really common for plateaus to happen because your body adapts to what you're doing. From an evolutionary standpoint, our ability to adapt kept us alive - but from a dieting standpoint it's really frustrating! The key to breaking through a plateau is changing something. Depending on what you're used to eating, you can…

I agree with the strength training thing! The best way to slim down is to change your body fat percentage... more muscle means less fat, and the more calories your body will burn at rest. If weights are intimidating, there are some good bodyweight exercises that can get you on the right track, like push ups and (modified)…

Funner is definitely the most appropriate word for the situation, and I agree, friends make it so! Congrats on losing over Thanksgiving... I'm looking for support to make it through the rest of the holidays :) Anyone here feel free to add me!

I'm 25 - been struggling with my weight all my life, but decided enough is enough and hope logging my food here will help. I've lost 25 lbs (prior to joining here ) and I've got about 84 lbs to go. Anyone here feel free to add me, I know support makes all the difference. Also, I've lost the weight mostly through following…
