Gonna save this for later, thanks :)

Hi! This groups seems like just the thing I need to boost my motivation for the rest of the year :) As my weight loss has been on a plateau lately, I'm setting an average goal of losing 8kg/17lbs by Christmas. If I could manage that, I'd be really close to my goal weight! I've been planning on adding exercise to my…

Wow, just... wow! O.O

I agree, when I weigh myself several times a day the amount can be off several lbs. Now I usually weigh every morning, but only log/report once a week or so :)

Wow, awesome results in half a year! You truly are an inspiration, thanks :)

Great post, I totally agree!

I think you just made my day op, thank you! Surely this doesn't mean giving up on my goals, but I hope they'll be easier for me to reach now. Gosh I wish it was that easy to start loving yourself. But at least it's something to aim for in addition to getting healthy ^.^

There's not much room for guessing anymore, so "Mixed Turkish, Bulgarian and Russian" :)

Way to go! :) I just recently got out of the "obese"-range myself, but of course in your case you have even more reason to be happy!

You truly are an inspiration! Thanks for sharing :)

Awesome, keep it up :) I'm guessing the positive change will be even faster from now on!

^ This. Thanks guys, for making my day :D

Thank you for your thoughts, guys! I think I'll look into this some more. I've always had problems with hormonal balance and if nothing else I hope I can find some tips about how to get healthier by eating right :)

Malukah - Reignite. I usually have three to five songs stuck in my head daily... Apparently my head thinks it's a jukebox or something :D

Great job, thanks for the inspiration! :)

Great job, you look a-m-a-z-i-n-g! You're such an inspiration, just what I needed today :) So congratz, and thank you!!

Hi, Maria! Welcome to MFP! I can totally relate to the need of support, so feel free to add me if you like. :) We can do this!

Feel free to add me, too :) I'm a first-timer in MFP, but already the people here have been a huge asset to my motivation. We can do this!

Hi there! I have a similar plan about not stressing about the exercise just yet... maybe someday I'll take up on a fitness plan in addition to eating healthier. It's great to hear you're enjoying the site! Feel free to add me if you want more friends to support you :) We can do this!

Hello, and welcome to MFP! I'm fairly new here myself, but I'm loving it already, haha :D Good luck to you, too, I'm sure you'll reach your goal faster than you'd think!

Wow, you're looking gorgeous! Thank you for the inspiration, just what I needed today :)

For some reason you made me laugh! In a good way. :D I've never really dated anyone, but I'd like to believe that if a guy loves you, he won't cheat. If your guy even warns you about it himself, it just shows that he isn't even trying to change (or doesn't want to). You deserve better. So yeah, I think (hope?) that it's…

Well done :) I lost 8 lbs during my first week, but it always starts like that for me. At first my weight goes down, then it gets stuck. My second weigh-in is tomorrow, and I'm not expecting much results... Point being, great job for those pounds - they are likely to stay off, too!

Thank you :) I'd like to get into a better overall shape eventually. Just thought I might be able to exercise more efficiently after losing weight first. Taking measurements is a good idea, I've never really gotten around to do it 'cause I was afraid what the measuring tape might reveal! *laugh*

This. It's exactly like that for me, too. *laugh*

I feel for all of you who are struggling with low or nonexistent self-esteem, 'cause I've totally been there. Still am. It's even harder to appreciate yourself when the people around you only give you negative feedback. Luckily I've noticed that folks here in MFP are really supportive, so maybe we can learn to love…

Just now found this topic, otherwise I would've joined already! :D 160 lbs by St. Patty's sounds great (and, hopefully, achievable for me too). I'll soon be 21 and my current weight is about 180, don't know exactly since it's been a while since my last weigh-in. My ultimate goal is around 145, so reaching the 160 would be…

Did someone say that the Brits are a minority here? Well don't worry, 'cause there's quite a lot of you compared to us Finns... ;) So yeah, I'm from Finland.

I just joined a week ago, so I'd be happy to have you on my friend list. I, too, have a long way ahead of me, but I try to make it a bit shorter with my short-term goals. We can do this! :)

I'm in! I really hope that by summer I'll have the courage to publicly appear in a swimsuit (since that would be the first time ever for me...) :)
