I'm in the same boat. Been on take 2 for a few months now. I'm doing the 5x5 lifting program. Good luck!

I've got about 60 lbs to lose....down about 20 lbs since I started. Always looking for more friends to motivate and help keep me motivated.

Feel fee to add me. I'm trying to lose a lot weight myself. We can keep each other in check!

I hear ya man....MFP worked for me once and I'm back here again to make it permanent. Sent you a friend request.

Good job! I'm just trying to get back into MFP as well.

Good luck!!

I have been there....it's a great feeling. Great Job!

I am in the same boat...but I'm taking that as a Triumph. Back at it for good!

What a great story! I can't wait to see the post about you meeting your goals! This is a great place to be and all the motivation from everyone else is what helps to keep you going. Good luck.

Feel free to add me. I was doing really good before the holidays and then fell off for about month. I'm back on and also looking for some more friends to motivate and to help keep me motivated.

It seems like on here people that are new have one to two initial reactions. Either "I am so hungry all the time" or "I can't force myself to eat all of my calories." I was initially like you. I thought how the the hell am I going to eat all that...I'm not even hungry. Well, let me tell you that I realized that I wasn't…

I'm in!! Would love to hit 20 lbs but I agree that 15 lbs sounds a bit more reasonable.

I personally have the Basis B1 and I love it. Not only does it count steps, but it also measures your heart rate and a bunch of other things (perspiration, skin temperature) so the calorie number that it gives you should be more accurate. I've compared the heart rate monitor to the ones on the treadmill or elliptical and…

I'm a big guy as well....been here for going on 2 months and have seen good progress. I'm also hoping to get off the blood pressure meds. Request sent.

This!! I've only been on here a month but I've found that I"m more likely to continue with the healthier habits if I don't get down on myself for a bad day...just don't let the bad day turn into a bad week. If I can, I go for a walk or go to the gym to help when I'm close to my calorie goal. Just try to make some small…

I'm in the same boat as you...stressful job and sick of using that as my excuse for gaining all this weight. Looks like we have about the same amount to lose. Friend request sent.

I'm also a big guy looking to lose a lot of weight...friend request sent.

Great work. I'm in a similar situation. I've only been on MFP for a few weeks. I'm currently taking BP medication. I'm hoping that by dropping this weight that i"ll be able to come off of those meds. Your success has made me hopeful that this is a possibility.

Hot wings and beer!!!

Thanks everyone for the encouragement and the great advice. I'm going to try to keep my "cheats" to a single meal and not an entire day. It's not worth throwing away a weeks worth of hard work...but I'm also seeing that if I do slip up that I just need to keep going and not get discouraged by it. Thanks again everyone. I'm…
