Although I am not borderline diabetic I am fighting great joint pain which is keeping me from sleeping at night. I have started again this week with a new plan of attack that for now will include non-impact exercise and eating healthy. I too could use support and am willing to give support to anyone who wishes to add me.

I can use all the help I can get as well. Add me

Welcome to the group. Support and Motivation is great here. I fell off the wagon and just got back on this week. I took a real big pride hit when I got on the scale a this past week and realized I had put all of my weight back on except 2 lbs. EERRRRR. I know how to do this, it just makes me mad that I allowed myself the…

Prescription diet drugs are to be used in combination with a healthy lifestyle. That being said, if you are living a healthy lifestyle then you should not need them. I would never use an over the counter diet pill as they are not regulated and there is no telling what is really in them and what harm it might really bring.

Since your food diary is not open to view, it is hard for any of us to tell what you might need to do. You might need to go in and update your food and activity profile so the program and give you a better number.

Feel free to add me. Always looking for people who will help motivate and support the ups and downs.

Sent a request. Always looking for more support and motivation

You are more than welcome to add me as well. Im 49 yrs old, married for 26 yrs and have 2 grown kids. Time to take care of myself and start enjoying life. SW - 161 CW - 159 GW - 135

Welcome to the group. I am exactly where you are. Looking at everything that runs in my family, it is time to take full control of what goes into my mouth and what I do to stay fit. I will send you a friend request and we can motivate each other

It is ok. We all have bad days some over, some under on calories. The trick is to aim for your calorie goal. As someone else mentioned its more about averaging things out. No day is going to be perfect. So log it in, own it and move forward for tomorrow is a new day.

You are not alone. I lost all of my weight last year and then life went wild and I put all but 2lbs back on. It was hard to admit and my pride to a hit coming back here but it is better to take the pride hit now than keep doing what I was doing. My husband was diagnosed this week with pre-diabeties and hypertension so he…

Great photos. You look fantastic

I can always use more support and motivation. I had lost my weight last year and was at goal then life went hey wire and I put all of it back on. So mad at myself. I know how to do this and I know how to stay on track but totally lost it and kept giving myself excuses. Last week hubby was diagnosed as pre-diabetic, has…

Sounds like a great goal. You should do well. I agree, support and motivation from others really does help. I am sending a friend request

10 lb targets are great goals. Remember to do something nice for yourself when you reach each small goal. It does not have to be major or expensive just do something nice. I am sending a friend request

I dont live close but always willing to support someone. Do not worry about what others think of you at the gym. Go in there and show them you are serious and in no time they will all be looking at you saying. Wow, that is one determined person.

There is some really great advice and support right here. Each and everyone of the previous posters knows what you are going through and understands. So grab a hold of some of them (or all of them) and make them your MFP friends. They will keep you motivated and give you great ideas on how to proceed with food and…

Welcome to MFP. This is a great place to get support and motivation. The only advice I can give is....you have to stick it out if you want it to work. We all have a journey and along the way we learn some things. You have to make it an adventure. Feel free to add me if you like

First Congrats on a job well done. I know it has been an exciting journey. I have to agree, if you are maintaining on what you are currently doing and you are happy with it, then stick with it. Since you have been working with a nutritionist the I would also listen to what they have to say. If you are worried about how…

Support I think is key and you are right, it is harder to get motivated in the winter when things are cold and of course snowy for some of us. I will send you an invite

You are off to a good start. Support is key I think in getting on track and then staying there. Do not worry, we all fall off the wagon from time to time. I too am struggling with having put some of my weight back on. I will send you a friend request and if anyone else wants to friend me, go for it. I love the support

Go You !!! Thats wonderful

As I get older I realized it is not about what I look like but how I feel. Carrying extra pounds makes you sluggish and makes your joints hurt. I know where I need to be to have energy and flexibility and I want to stay there

You are doing an amazing job. Keep up the good work

Welcome back. You are right, support is a major factor in losing and maintaining weight loss and fitness. We all need help from time to time and I have found that as long as I stay active here, I stay on track. I back slid over the recent months and im working to get that back off now. Lets do this together Sending a…

Hi Kate. Welcome to MFP. This is a great place to find motivation and support. We all have a journey and each one is different but together we get through and make ourselves stronger. Good and Bad we are here for you I will send you a friend request

Welcome back. Many of us are doing the same thing... Getting back on track after months away. I started back day before yesterday after losing all my weight last year and then putting some it back on in the last few months. Enough was enough and it was time to get serious again. Im not getting married this year but a…

i like the way I feel when im trim and healthy. Outside and in. As I get closer to that 50 yr old mark, I also like the fact that my husbands head still turns when I walk into a room

Im with you. I reached goal last year and then life got way over busy and I have put some of it back on. Refuse to settle for this, so im back at it. The biggest problem I have is my work...I am on the road about 14 hrs a day so lunch and sometimes dinner can be difficult. I can do it, I know I can, just have to stay…

I had gotten off track before long before Christmas. I was at goal and life took a turn in the wrong direction with my eating and exercise. Christmas just added to it. I decided to get back on it and wait another week to see how badly I have really done over the last month, so I do not know for sure yet. Its not pretty im…
