Looking for friends to motivate me!

TessaHomel

Hi there! I'm Tessa and I'm 21 years old. I have been on MFP before and had success, losing around 20 lbs. Since then, i've gained it all back >:( I am determined to succeed in my goal of losing 50 lbs this time!! I don't have anyone in my life at home that is willing to take that step to make themselves healthier with me. My friends enjoy going out to eat, and my family enjoys their dessert. I'm hoping to find some supportive friends online that will encourage me! I am a very supportive and encouraging person as well, so I hope I can help others too!

Hi all, I can sympathize w/Tessa as I don't have someone to help encourage me with this change either. Health issues don't help either...asthma, epilepsy, chronic pain..the list goes on.

Anyway, I'm supposed to lose at least 30 lbs, but the first 10 are hard. I went from losing 7 to gaining 6 back. Taking steroids for asthma doesn't help either.

I'm drinking water, trying to exercise as I can, but its hard not being able to actively work out.
Anyone else feel this way, frustrated?

Thanks for reading,
Anthony

I have asthma too, but it only really kicks in when I run. I can pretty much do anything but that! My goal is to work my way up to running a 5K so I can prove to myself that I can overcome that issue!
