Count me in! I'm at 200 lbs too. I'm 35 and have three kids. I don't have much support either. I would love more friends for motivation too. It's rough when your friends are a lot smaller. They just don't get it.

I am restarting my journey! I would love some motivation. Most of my friends from two years ago have not logged in for over a year. Feel free to add me!

Hello. I successfully used MFP a few years ago, but I slacked off. I am now at my heaviest. I have three children. My oldest is eight and my twins are five. I have a very difficult time putting myself first so I need some motivation too! Let's just call it my New Years Resolution.

Let me know if you find the answer. My stomach turned into a bread dough consistency after I had twins three years ago. I hate it.

I wad up three balls of aluminum foil at the bottom of the crock pot. Then I put a roaster/young chicken on top. Season with pepper and paprika. Eight hours on low and it's done.

I'm 5'3'' and need to lose at least 40 pounds. A little weight loss can make a big difference to us short girls, but it seems we have to really work for it.

Me too!

You look great!

Feel free to add me too. Congrats on going smoke free!

I am wearing a pair of pants today that i haven't worn in two years!

That's fantastic. How did you transition from walking to running? I seem to just try to make it from one tree to the next at the park. You're an inspiration!!!

I'm right there with you. I have lost 11 pounds and suddenly the weight isn't coming off as easily. It's frustrating, but if we stick to it the weight will start dropping again. I personally prefer immediate gratification.

You're not the only one. When the weather becomes colder a lot of folks do the same thing, myself included. Make sure to spend some time outside walking when it is nice and sunny. Also, try to find some ways to relax and get more sleep. Sounds like you may also be an emotional eater. (I personally crave carbs and sweets…

That is awesome!!! My first mini-goal is the weight on my license. I'm so glad I'm not the only fibber out there!

My nutritionist said that MFP is awesome, but it does NOT give you enough protein.

Hi! I am from Columbia! Good luck!!!

That made me laugh. Congrats on giving birth to a first grader!

Fantastic story!!! Congrats!

It does take a lot of time! I have difficulty justifying so much of a committment too. However, I believe that God wants me to take care of the body that he gave me, my children need a healthy role model and my friends want a happy friend. Good Luck!!!

I had exactly the same problem. I lost only 2 pounds in the first month and now it is finally coming off more rapidly. I would chase after my twins and do extra cardio too and still nothing. The trick that worked for me was more variety in my meals. I had a tendancy to eat the same thing for both breakfast and lunch. Also,…

Hello everyone! I:smile: would love to join your group. My motivation to join MFP was simply to lose a considerable amount of weight before TTC. My previous pregnancies had serious complications due to preeclampsia. I know there is no known cause for it, but I would like to hope that diet and weight loss may help. Thanks,…

You look great!!!! Thanks for giving me the motivation to eat a healthy breakfast this morning!!!

Count me in!
