Looking for motivation...
Hi, I've been on and off MFP for years (since 2008) and I finally have every reason in the world to make it work this time. I would, however, love to find some friends on here to motivate and push me. I've got over 50 pounds to lose and I've just started the gym for the first time last week. My goals are to: * lose enough…

60 days and 20 pounds
It was 60 days for me on Saturday and I hit 20lbs lost that day as well. I've got a ways to go but I'm determined and although I won't say this has been "easy" I have so much support thanks to my fiance and my MFP friends that I know I'm going to make it this time. I've signed up for my first 5k for April 21, 2013 and I'm…

2 Months & 25lbs pics!
Ok so it's only 25 pounds (since January, over 40 since I first joined in 2008) and I've got a lot more to lose but I'm just so damn proud of myself I have to share. I'm finally just overweight (goodbye obesity!!), none of my clothes fit anymore, I feel amazing and it's all thanks to the support, motivation and kicks in…

My NSV's :)
I'm having a "yay me" day today, celebrating all the mini-accomplishments I've made so far. I've stopped drinking coffee (I only used to drink the 18% cream and real sugar so I switched to green tea and LOVE it!!). I drink 2 to 3 liters of water every day. I've stuck to my calories goals every day. There are cupcakes and…

New (again)...
I originally joined MFP in 2008 and did really well while I stuck with it. Motivation was my biggest problem then so this time I'm looking for some MFP friends which will hopefully help with the kicks in the butt I need when my motivation goes down the toilet!! So if you're interested, lets "be friends" :)

I've lost momentum... help please!!
Arrrggg!! I'd been doing SO well for the past couple months - I started in May and until about two/three weeks ago I kept track of everything I ate, drank a ton of water, did some exercise (okay... not as much as I should have, but I was trying at least) and it seemed so easy. I'd lost 36 pounds, three sizes and felt…

Yay me!!
I've been on this site for one month now and I can say that over the past 15 years of trying to become the 'skinny me' that's inside, I have never found something that has helped me SO much!! I've lost 18 pounds and now a pair of pants that I bought but never wore because they were too small, are almost too big!! I really…

Cabbage and chicken noodle soup
I made this last night when I discovered that I didn't really like coleslaw without the "official coleslaw dressing" and needed to find something to do with the rest of the cabbage and carrots. It's super filling and low in calories. 1/4 c onions (20 cal) 1/4 c green peppers (10 cal) 1 bag Dole ready-cut coleslaw (125 cal)…

Hi all :)
I'm new to this site and am so glad I've found it. I have a long way to go to my desired weight range but I am finally ready!! I'm excited to see that I can do everything on here that I was so busy trying to write down and having to figure out myself (calories etc). Good luck to all with reaching your goals.
