Starting Afresh - Need support

ChaoticPotato

Hey!!

I am new to MFP and really need support and motivation

Right now I am at 214 pounds and my height is 171 cms. I am so ashamed of my body image that i dont feel comfortable going out, meeting my friends posing for pictures etc.

I have tried to loose weight multiple times before but all my efforts failed within a week. I am hoping this time it would be different with support of the MFP community. I really need some partners and friends to help me out in my journey

I am looking forward to hearing from you

I can't spend a lot of time on MFP over the next several weeks due to work and travel, but I do try to be supportive. I started out 2 years ago at 215 pounds and 5' 10" (178 cm), so fairly similar. I'll send a friend request.

That said, if you fail within a week, you're either expecting miracles or you're not ready to make a commitment. Losing weight at a sensible rate, it will take 2-3 months or more before other people notice. It helps to set attainable goals that you can measure much more concretely than weight loss. If you haven't read the Guide to Get You Started… post, I suggest starting there.
