Feel free to add me as well!! I've found a lot of support from people on here and it's helped me in my journey as well. Good luck on your new journey!!!

Believe me, I know all about wanting to lose weight fast. I've lost 12lbs over the past two months and personally, I feel it should have been twice that amount. However, I also know all too well about losing weight too fast and then adding it all back on and then some. From what people have told me, I'm losing weight at a…

I'm always willing to give some support and motivation when needed :) Everyone is welcome to add me as a friend :)

I'm sorry, but just because that happened to your daughter-in-law...doesn't mean it happens to everyone. My sister-in-law had a baby boy...weighed 12lbs when he was born. She was not obese when she was pregnant. My nephew is now 13 yrs old and is the size of a stick...lol He's the skinniest thing you'd ever meet. Not all…

When I got pregnant with my daughter, I weighed 280lbs. I was obese by medical standards. I became really conscience of what I was eating early on in the pregnancy. I started drinking tons of water and quit drinking soda. When I had my glucose testing done, I was right on the border of gestational diabetes, so as a…

Congrats on starting your new journey! If you ever need someone to lean on for support, or vent to...or laugh with... feel free to add me. Just remember, that no matter what...you can do this... you will do this.. and with MFP...everyone here has your back and will help you do this!!! YOU GOT THIS!!! Good luck!

I would be more than happy to help support you in your journey! Feel free to add me :) I started my journey about 2 months ago... I've hit a few bumps in the road..but am definitely getting back on track. The support from my friends definitely makes a difference! Good luck. You can do this!!

Feel free to add me! I will do my best to help motivate you when you need it!

I'm on here daily and and could help keep you in check if you would like... I do my best to offer all my friends support and encouragement when they need it :)

I had my gallbladder attack back on November 4, 2011. I had my gallbladder removed on November 10th. My surgeon didn't want me to wait too long before having my surgery due to how many stones I had. (According to him, the technician that had read my ultrasound stopped counting after 45 because there were so many and just…

@danielstarret: The sad part is I have a treadmill in the house. It's currently in my daughter's room. I guess I'll be making some changes to her room so I'm able to unfold it and go in and work out for awhile on it. Right now, she has so much stuff in there, it's just been shoved in the corner and forgotten about. Thank…

@territory9123, @jessicaodell1, @HealthyChick6: Thank you for the suggestions. Usually my little girl is my alarm clock, but I may start setting my alarm to get up well before she does so I can get some exercising in before she wakes up.

Thanks! I will do that!

@RGv2: Just so you know, I spent 31 years living in Ohio. I've been in feet of snow, feet of ice and temperatures down to -20. I know that the winters down here in NC are nothing like that of northern states. I've lived down here for 3 years now and I still find it humorous how locals act when the forecast calls for 1/2"…

@jenmencer: Unfortunately, I don't have the extra money to spend on exercise programs. I can't afford them. I've seen all the ads for the T25 and P90X and as much as I would like to be able to do those kinds of programs...I just can't right now due to finances. I greatly appreciate the suggestion though. Thank you!

I'll be more than happy to help you along your journey! Everyone here can always use the support from time to time! You got this! You've made the first major decision and that's signing up for MFP. Feel free to add me...I'll help ya in any way that I can! :)

Feel free to add me for support. I, myself, am on my way to losing 100lbs as well. We can do this!!!

Congratulations on your new bundle of joy! I had my daughter 3 years ago...and I finally have gotten the motivation to lose weight. Being overweight my whole life, it's been a struggle, but I'm finally doing something to change it. Be proud that you are taking the initiative early! I'm still in the early stages of my…

Feel free to add me if you need someone to vent to, chat with, cry with, laugh with...or just need some support at times. :)

Welcome Back! I recently just started my weight loss journey...and I'm hoping that I succeed. I'm originally from OH. Grew up in the Canton/ N. Canton area. Live in OH for 31 years before moving to NC. My mother died from a heart attack when I was 9 years old. She was 50. It was such a traumatic experience for me, that I…

I'm always here to lend an ear...errrr...eye...lol If you need someone to vent to, laugh with, cry with, or just talk to about your day...I'm here for ya. Feel free to add me! This goes for anyone :)

Welcome back!!! Granted..I wasn't on here when you were, just recently signed up to make a change for the better! Good luck in your journey! If you need someone to vent to, chat with, laugh with or just need an encouraging word, feel free to add me or send me a message!!

My last straw was on Labor Day when I took my daughter swimming. When we were done, I went into the bathroom to change. And that's when I really took notice of how truly fat I am. How my stomach had gotten so large, it looked as though I was 8 months pregnant again! I felt so disgusted and ashamed of myself...to let it get…

Thank you all so much!!! It's nice to hear such encouragement... It means a lot to me :smile:

Thanks... Now that the weather is starting to cool off a little here in NC, I know her and I will be doing a lot more outdoor activities. She loves going on walks...and I look forward to doing more of those with her :)

I'm looking to lose 100+ lbs. I'm new to this and looking for some encouraging friends. I've found that sometimes, even if I never meet someone in person, an online friendship can be just as rewarding. I always do my best to be there for others as well.
