Congrats! This is also one of my goals and it is encouraging to see that it can be done!!:smile:

Yes, count me in! I have lots of false starts and then I give up! Accountability and support works for me so I'm in!!

Yup! Me too! Joined in 2011....no loss and even added some more weight! Pushed re-start 3 days ago and feeling really positive! Some things that have helped me- forgive yourself!!! Whenever I beat myself up for not being perfect, I get depressed and the eating cycle begins! We are NOT perfect and will never be. We have to…

Ventura, California here! You can add me!:bigsmile:

Hi, I just got started 3 days ago and I need all the motivation I can get! Feel free to add me to your buddy list!

I joined the group but I dont know anything about the IOWL. where do you get the podcasts? I can check out the book if they have it in the library.

You look so amazing! You are just the inspiration I needed!!:flowerforyou:

You look totally amazing!! You should be proud! I know it had to be lots of work, focus and determination. You GO GIRL!:flowerforyou:

Hi there, Happy to be a support to you...........we all need it! For me to not lose motivation, I have to do it ONE STEP AT A TIME!! You don't have to do it perfect (is there such a thing????), just get up one more time and DO IT! Portion size is soooo important! What I do is try to keep my measuring spoons and cups close…

Got rid of my Facebook! Too much drama, in fighting and gossip. Don't like others putting my info and pictures on without my approval. MFP is my pick! It's uplifting and positive!:love:

You LOOK INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just started again today for the 3rd time and need encouragement! I need about 60 pounds gone!! Cant stand having my pic taken,,,,depresses me, Would like to have you as a friend!!:happy:

You look fabulous! Congratulations!!!!!!

I'm pretty new with MFP (almost a week)....what IS the 30day shred??

Welcome Ashley. Feel free to add me as a friend. We all need support and motivation and I;m here to help anyway i can. It doesn't matter how much we have to lose......taking the first step gets you on the right track! Good luck! :smile:

Hi Sarah, For me, I get overwhelmed if I try to do too much and then I get discouraged and give up! If you are like that, you may want to take it slow and reward yourself for the smaller goals to help keep you motivated. I am rewarding myself for staying on track, even if I dont have a "perfect" day. If you can do more,…

LOVE IT!!!!!!!

:smile: Keep going and stay positive. I often get overwhelmed (DAILY) and a friend told me that she makes her TO DO LIST and then prays over it asking God to help her get done what HE wants her to do today. We put lots of pressure on ourselves and think we can do it all, when it is actually impossible to get done what we…

That is so awesome!!!!! You are an inspiration to me as I am just getting started again!:bigsmile:

Everyone feels like that sometimes. For me, I need to focus on the fact that I am taking care of my body- which is the total opposite of what I do when I overeat-I'm abusing it. I am trying to focus on success in the small things like logging my food everyday. When you do that, you are being honest with yourself and…

I hear you!! You are on the right track girl!

I'm new year & ready for some success! Been stuck in a web of overeating and haven't been able to get out of it. Seeing a picture of myself recently has shocked me into action! I see the picture and wonder."WHO is that lady??" In a few months I will be able to say that I have no idea who she is,cuz it's certainly NOT me!!…
