same here. had my success story several years ago when I went down from 205 to 156. Now I'm back to 180+ and I need to lose all of it before the year ends :) Let's do this!!!!

I've been on MFP for as long as I can remember, but every time I try to start up again I end up quitting for really random reasons. Hopefully I'll stick to it this time. Add me please! I'll be your motivational penguin :D

Day 1. Just for today I'll try and exercise for 10 minutes. Baby steps, lel.

Welcome to my world. Same here =_= Well then, let's keep tabs on each other and try to lose weight as much as we can :D

Yes. With the added bonus that it doesn't have any dread factor to it... at least for me. I actually look forward to walking at the end of a busy day.

READ THIS. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/3047-700-calories-a-day-and-not-losing ALSO, THIS: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/872212-you-re-probably-eating-more-than-you-think These two posts were all I needed to read to know where I was going wrong.

I think i'm one of the warm and fuzzy types *shrug* anyway, adding :)

This is my favorite. It applies not only for weight loss, but for most anything you want to accomplish in this life. hope you don't mind but I'd daresay this is better than your video XD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTFnmsCnr6g

i am probably going to go over my goal by 3000 tonight. I will stare long and hard at those numbers, write a note at the bottom of my food diary to remind me why i overate today, insert an obscene word or two, and move on.

Yep, It sucks when family members never really do anything to make the load easier. =_=

^ I hate you for posting that poem, whoever you are. hate hate hate....... *wipes tears* Sorry to hear about your loss. This is coming from someone who has lost a very loyal, very loveable chowchow just last year. She began vomiting too and was diagnosed of kidney failure, deteriorating fast in a matter of weeks. It was…

Bump, as I have the same problem...

same thing here. I can't possibly lower my calories further, as I already feel extremely deprived with the 1200 calorie limit that I have. i tried an all fruit diet, eating two oranges, a banana, practically half a watermelon [the weight on the package is more than 1kg... seriously.] and another half of large papaya…
