You have a whole supper community here!! 

Be sure you journal your food every day all the things!  

Thanks, Wendy! I appreciate it. 

That's right. Support will drive us. This is a great support community. Wish you all the best in your journey 👍👏👍 

Great start. You can do it! 

You can do it you need to believe in yourself 

Support can be found through this site but I hope you get support from your family and friends as well!! 💜👍 

You got this, John! This is an act of self-care: we don't do it because we hate our body, we do it because we love our body and want to take care of it. It's so simple but also so hard (esp in our 40's and beyond). You've got great momentum and the trick now is just to keep it going with consistency. 

You got this. Find what works for you. We are all so different and it took me many trial and errors to find something that works for me. I hate cardio and so the strength training and following a macro's diet that is high in protein is what works for me. But there are so many out here doing other things that can really inspire you from boxing to biking. I love the diversity! Every day is a new day so if you slip up and eat too much don't give up just start over - make every day count you are worth it! 

Take one meal and one day at a time...it will work. 

You've got support here. Take some time and read other's journals, bios and posts. You will learn a lot and find comfort knowing you are not alone. I've been here for 6 months and while I've reached my goal, I'm not jumping ship. I still log every single bite and plan to continue. You got this! You are doing great! 

Me too i need to lose weight big time and then also support 

Hi =), Is there a particular question / topic that you're struggling with? 

Thank you so much for the outpouring of support. Is there a best way to communicate with any of you directly?  

follow people I guess. It's a bit of a useless website for friending.  

You can follow a person and then private message them...but better to post on your journal here like you did and more people will support you! 

Your meal is lovely and inspiring. I hope you know that. Good Job! 

You may PN me if it is a clear and isolated questions. For extensive questions I'm lacking time these days, I'm sorry. ... You can write personal messages on the FatSecret-Homepage fatsecret.com as far as I know 

PS: It does not necessarily have to be me, I'm not special or so. But you were asking for personal support on your other post, and I know that there can be reasons why it can make more sense to write to one single person, so that's why I said that you can write to me if you want and if it is a precise and isolated topic 

I just went through a 2 week plateau where I didn't lose a pound! the fact that I hovered around 700 calories a day made me think that was the reason....metabolism at zero, fatigue at 100%. I am diabetic and my fbs was 75_85 each morning, so there's that. I have lost 35lbs since Sept, and on track to reaching my goal weight by Memorial Day. Wish me luck! I hope you all reach your goals, you can do this!
