Feel free to add me! I need some motivation too.....

Feel free to add me! We can all use as much support and motivation as we can get ;)

Welcome! Feel free to add me as a friend. You'll find a lot of great support on MFP :)

500 days is definitely doable. I started July 19th and have lost 45 pounds -- Good luck on your journey! And feel free to friend me!

We all fall off the wagon occasionally. I did it myself this past week while I was on vacation. Don't let it get you down, let it motivate you to get back on track. Just stand up, brush yourself off and start again. You'll do great!

People have to be accountable for their own actions. Unfortunately, there may be nothing you can do - they won't change until they realize that they are actually hurting themselves, not helping.

I can fit into size 10 jeans! And I can walk up 2 flights of stairs without feeling like I'm going to collapse :) Best of all, I went on an airplane and fit comfortably into the economy seat LOL Down 45 pounds, 35 to go. Wish me luck!

Good job! You gave up soda? Wow -- I can't seem to break the diet soda habit. It's the only drink I really really like. I've cut down, but can't seem to cut it out completely :) Feel free to add me as a friend. Maybe you can give me some pointers about removing soda from my diet completely lol

Welcome! There's a great group of people here - very supportive. Please feel free to add me as a friend!

Hi Aimee -- welcome back! Feel free to add me as a friend. I'm 54 yrs old from Massachusetts. I've lost 45 pounds but still need to drop another 35. I love the support and motivation on MFP :)

Hi Savannah, Feel free to add me as a friend. This is my third time on MFP and I'm committed to "sticking too it" too! :)

Hi Alex - Welcome!! I'm Karyn from Massachusetts. I've lost 45 pounds on MFP so far, and plan on losing another 35. Watch for a friend request -- it'll be great to have another supportive person to help on this journey! :)

Hi Sun_child! My doctor told me to walk -- doesn't matter how fast or how far -- but to do a straight 30 minute walk every day. Don't know if you can incorporate it into your day, but It's been one of the best decisions/commitments I've ever made. I also make a lot of my own meals now. Cutting out the processed foods has…

Hi Caitlin! Welcome! Congratulations on being down 75 pounds -- That's quite an accomplishment! I'm down 45 pounds, with my ultimate goal being 80. I've never run into anyone here who "fat shames". On the contrary, I've found people on MFP to be extremely supportive and motivating. Please feel free to add me as a friend!…

It finally clicked when my doctor said to lose weight and get my sugar levels down or he was going to have to diagnose me as diabetic. I want to be here for my kids (and future grandkids!) so I decided it was time to take this seriously. I'm down 45 pounds thanks mostly to the support and motivation of the people on MFP. I…

Sarcastic sense of humor??? That's me!! Feel free to friend me.

Same here -- this is my third time on MFP. Feel free to friend me!

Feel free to friend me -- I know that the motivation and support on MFP really helps. :)

You'll find a lot of great motivation here -- Welcome! :) Feel free to add me as a friend. We can all use as much support as we can get LOL

I found that starting with small goals really helped me - mini goals (like 5 pounds to start). Also, I made a commitment to get in a 30 minute walk every day. Doesn't matter the speed, just 30 minutes of walking. It's helped me tremendously, and was an easy thing to do. I sit at a computer all day too, and get stiff and…

52 pounds lost??? You go girl!! Great work!

Adding friends also keeps me accountable - and motivated! Feel free to add me!

I've got Rheumatoid Arthrits and Fibromyalgia. I walk every day. If I'm in pain it's a short, very slow walk - but I've found that it really helps the pain in the long run. If I don't walk I feel worse. Focus on calories if you can't exercise, and feel free to friend me - The more support the better. These forums are great…

I never thought it would help but I find I lose more weight when I eat back the exercise calories. If I don't, the weight doesn't drop as fast.

I love my fitbit! It gives me the motivation to take those extra few steps every day. I've got the fitbit one, but I think when this one finally dies out I'll get the new blaze or some type of wristband - one that monitors the heart rate.

I'm 54 - Feel free to add me!
