You've got this! I agree that thinking that you have X number of calories to spend and there is no overdraft is helpful. For me, it's about looking at food as fuel... and if it's not good for me it won't get me very far :)

Feel free to add me! I'm dow about 19 on my journey of 175 lbs so still over 150 to go. I'm using my fit it to try to increase my steps daily and just adding in resistance bands. Good luck to all :)

Today is visit 3 for me

Well done. I just started at Wharton (meal planning today... a little scared of the 2100 cal a day plan) down 18.7 so far but at 316 I still want to lose another 81.3 to my first goal and then another 65 after that. I'd be happy to cheer you on and be a support system.

I can totally see the difference. (YAY Jawline!) You inspire me... ;)

Good luck on your journey. Cute clothes are part of my motivation too.

Being comfortable in your own skin is a fantastic reason to be doing this. Lucky you've a puppy to keep you moving. Friend add on the way! :)

That's me too... yep.

Good luck! Isn't it a great feeling to commit to something that is just for you? Good luck on your journey -- there are tons of supportive people. If you're looking for support, feel free to add me.

Good luck! I think it's amazing how this site helps to educate. Surround yourself with a great support system and you'll be there in no time. :)

Count me in! I've lost 25lbs so far in 7 weeks, so it CAN be done. I'm looking forward to the next 20. :)

My name is Jen and I'm addicted to Carbs. If they are fried carbs even better. ;) That said, I've cut out the fried, and moderated the carbs thus far...

I agree... nothing is *wrong* with you!! :) I hear you though -- I wonder when I'll find my "Right". But, I figure if I just keep working on me, and being happy with me, eventually I will find that person. It sucks though, because I'd like to have "that person". Keep the faith!

Welcome Jermaine! Good luck on your journey ... if you want support you can add me. :)

Good luck Susan! It may be helpful to think of it as better lifestyle choices. The word "diet" seems restrictive off the bat. I eat more food daily now than I ever did before, so I don't feel deprived. Add people to motivate you and help you along the way... :) You can add me if you want. Good luck!

Welcome to MFP. We're in the same place, looking for that 80+ lb loss. Today is my first milestone on my goal of over 100+ lbs to lose (having lost 25, effective today). There is great support here -- feel free to add me if you feel it'd be a good fit. I love having supportive people on my journey, and being part of theirs!

I definitely hear you!! :) You are NOT alone. My life involves being able to eat out, fast food, and the like. But I'm trying to make smarter choices. I don't WANT to look at menus before I go places, but I do... Not obsessing helped me to pack on pounds, so I figure I owe it to me to spend some time being observant so I…

Here goes nothing: 35 years old Will date 30-40 (ish, I guess, numbers are just that) Oakville, Ontario Relocating is always an option for the right person... but they'd need to be willing too. :)

Thanks for sharing. :) I have a 100+ lb weight loss goal and am reading posts to motivate (I'm at 25 lbs since joining) and this really hit home.

You are absolutely stunning. WTG on your progress. ;)

You look FANTASTIC!!

I definitely hear you. It can be hard. I've lost over 50 lbs since December (23 since joining this site). I was really heavy, and while people are saying "you look so healthy" or what-have-you, I'm just remembering I'm doing it for me. It's hard because I joined a "Biggest Loser" club at work, and one of the people…

Feeling good about the clothes I'm wearing Getting a celebratory tattoo (I want all celtic knotwork, and won't do it until I'm at a weight that won't fluctuate) At 100 lbs my roommate and I are going to go somewhere sunny and warm that requires me to wear a bathing suit in public.

Feel free to add me. Life (and weightloss) is a journey - not a destination. I'm in for the long haul... add me if you want! :) Good luck.

Easter is hard for chocoholics. :) Friend request sent.

Congratulations!! I have a few to go before that, but what a feat! Congrats on your journey!

You can do it! You just need to have faith, and when there isn't motivation within, this is a great site. I chose my name because I "have it"... the motivation to lose. Since joining this site, I'm down 18 lbs. Fitness isn't as great as it could be, but using the food diary AND making it viewable to my friends, holds me…

Good luck! :)

There is a LOT of support here - and a lot of people losing in different ways (different diets/ideas). Feel free to add me if you want support/encouragement. My journey is LONG but it will be completed, and hopefully I can help others along the way.

Yogurt. And I toss it in the freezer for 10 minutes to make it more like ice cream. Yum!
