100th time back on the wagon, 100 pounds to lose

Today I almost lost my way but I got back on track thanks to a friend!

Hi I'm Amber from Wisconsin. I've been using MFP for over 4 years now with some great success! I had lost 99 pounds before getting pregnant with my second child and gained back 40. Im still looking to lose about 90-100 pounds. I'm on here pretty much every day so feel free to add me if you want some motivation and support. I'm always looking for new friends to help me along the way! Good luck on your journey!

Maybe you're getting on the wrong wagon.
I would suggest you stop thinking of a number on a scale as the point. If you were given a 12 month, open-ended, all expenses paid plane ticket that ends in Paris would you fly straight there this weekend? No, you would plot out and pack for a journey that would take you all around the world in anticipation of ending that ticket at its ultimate destination. Weight loss and fitness work best that same way. The ultimate destination might be your healthy BMI range or a weight you remember feeling healthy at, but getting there is what you should pay attention to & embrace right now. There are many roads, many routes, many rhythms that lead there... Try one or two, or six, or sixty... There are no 'rules.'
So start today. Best wishes.

Thank you. That's why my mantra now is "This is a process, not an event!"

I am on day 12 of my journey. I have about 140lbs to lose. I post my struggles on my profile. Add me.

I'm a single mom and veteran who is socially isolated much of the time. I could really use as many friends as I can get.

10 months later and I'm back.
