Hello all, I am 24 about to be 25 and I need to do something with my life! I'll be all motivated for about a couple of weeks, lost 10 pounds then I don't know what happens! I need to end I all though, halloween is coming up and my costume is no joke! I must be sally jupiter for halloween. Other than that, I just want to feel better about myself and be about to buy regular clothes! I want eating healthy to be a normal thing, not a chore. You know not even thing twice about my eating choices. Well add me as. Friend, that would be wnderful! I'm going to the gym tomorrow so I will be logging :)

    I'm the same way! Once I hit a plateau I always get discouraged and don't know what happens, but next I know it's been weeks between work outs again. Feel free to add me! I'm trying to build up some motivational friends here as well to try and keep me accountable :)

    Cheer up girlfriend! :flowerforyou:
    I'll be here for you to too!
    Eating healthy doesn't need to be a chore and nor does it need to be something that you consciously do every day.
    BUT it is hard to start, once you do a couple of days of the same routine, it will get easier and easier and easier... and a fact...
    it takes 21 days to form a new habit, so keep going!!! If you fall... instead of giving up, just start up again.
    I've fallen many a time, recently on the weekend... but I just think of all the work ive already done and how healthy I feel when im eating right and working out, compared to how sluggish and yuck i feel after eating crap all day and that motivates me more than anything.
    Have a no excuses work out and push yourself tomorrow! Good Luck!:wink:

    It's so frustrating!! I can maintain a weight like nobody's business...but it takes me forever to lose. I wouldn't wish it on anyone but I'm glad I'm not the only one with the problem lol

    I am not that far from you as I am 27yrs old and trying to get back into shape. Its been difficult but in a year I have managed to go from 170pounds to 140pounds in March. I went back up to 150 and that is when I decided to do something about it. I have only been on MFP for a week now but I find having friends on here struggling with the same issues you do is SOOO helpful. I feel more motivated to get off my lazy butt AND WORKOUT. which is what this is all about. Motivation is the key and I can help you do it. You would be amazed and what a small comment from a friend can do for you. Please add me if you would like!
