Dana in Rockwall, TX! I just need my husband to not say he wants to go out to eat all the time. He always diets with me, but he's the first one to break down and it brings me down too! Keeping my fingers crossed this time!
SJ here in Boston Massachusetts...
I have to say that I like praise and admiration...when people say 'you look good' or 'I can tell you're losing weight'
I also like when people ask me how I am doing this because it reminds me thst I have a plan and of how much I've learned.
But what I like the most is when the people at the gym comment on how hard I work...because the results aren't totally under my control, but the effort is...

I'm Mandy in Morgan Hill, California.
The most important thing is for those around me to not DERAIL me. My dad, for example, is always trying to ply me with food--have a piece of fruit, candy, seconds at meals. That's his nature, but it's hard to say "no" sometimes, especially if he's offering my favorite whatever.
Second to that is that many folks have been great about being supportive, especially as more and more people notice and comment. I guess I'd like a healthy dosage of that to continue as well. I don't want undue attention, but it is nice when people comment that I look different/good.

Hey Everyone,
My name is RoDonna, I live in Maryland, I am a single mother of a 10 year old boy but welcoming my new engagement earlier this year. I want to lose about 88lbs, get down to the weight I was AFTER I had my son. People usually be surprised when I don't say my pre-baby weight, but he gave me some extra weight that I loved. I still had a flat stomach but I was thick in the right places LOL.
When it comes to support from the people around me, what works best for me is their encouragement to stay motivated and not give up on whatever goal I set. I know they are happy with me just the way I am, but when they accepted I am not happy with where I am and started lightly, postively encouraging me, the periodic checkups and reality checks when I lose focus, definitely has helped me stay on track or get back on track through my emotional whirlwinds where I used food for comfort.
Nice meeting all of you and I look forward to keeping in touch and all of us reaching our goals together.
