Welcome!!! I am back for the second go around. I lost the weight by following the app religiously and figured out that you have to eat food in order to lose it. Who knew? lol. I'm glad you joined and am happy to be your new MFP friend. Feel free to add me:) We are all on this journey together.

Hi there, I am back for second go around again. I agree with you and the excuses don't work which is why we are all here. Lots of luck to you and everyone and if I can just remember breakfast, I think I can lose the weight and stay on track.

I am there with you. I am on my second go around again. Joined last year, was dedicated, focused and lost 20 lbs. Then I put the app down, logged out and went on with life. Bad plan! I am back again with even more weight than before. I need discipline, friends, a regimen to keep me focused. I figured that out and today is…

Hello everyone, I'm Omari from Atlanta. 43. 186. I'm just today joining up. I'm on a journey to lose 20 lbs in 20 weeks. I started zumba saturday but high impact is too hard on my joints, I'm bummed and want to still burn minimum 500 calories daily. Anyway, I am excited to find a group just for me. I have a wonderful…

Good Morning everyone, Hope we all feel good about our challenge and I want to wish everyone all of the support and friendship today! I met my goal yesterday of working out with Zumba for an hour, burn 500 calories daily, but realized that I can't do high impact right now. Guess knees and joints are not ready for it yet.…

Maxie..think you have to go under community. Find the group and follow the thread to add your posts....:smile: Not sure how you get in box messages though. Question for the group will we be using group messages for our inboxes?

Is anyone from the Atlanta area by chance?

Hi Ashley, Feel free to add me. I want to talk to a support system on MFA also. I am trying to lose 20 pounds, 1lbs per week. Just started on Monday. No exercise yet, starting this week. It's so difficult to fit in to life schedule, isn't it. Well, good luck on your journey and wishing you a speedy recovery from your…

How do you prepare it? I am looking for good carb alternatives on my fitness journey. I need something to eat for lunch and dinner..

Hi, I am with you in solidartiy. I too, do not feel like excercising because I just feel crappy and stomach really hurts. I'm sometimes in a foul mood for no apparent reason and generally hate the world on the " first" day. I try to subsitute the sugar cravings with fresh fruit and pretend they are snickers and…

Hi there... I am also new, just joined today. From Atlanta suburbs. I am starting my first zumba class tonight and quitting smoking and alcohol consumption is next on my list. Consider me a friend wanting the same things as you. Congrats to you so far. :smile:
