Hello everyone, I'm pixie, long time reader first time joiner.
I have spent the past few months reading all the fab posts, thinking yeah I can lose weight and then eating 3 chocolate bars, but came to to resent conclusion that enough is enough. I am now a woman on a mission, i will no longer make excuses and i will shift my "mummy" weight. Any help, advice and support would really be fab, so please add me :D

    If you want something bad enough you will make it happen.
    Think every morning how can I be a fitter more confident person today.

    Hi Pixie,

    I was on the site about three years ago and lost a stone. I am also trying to shift weight after having a baby. I actually lost weight while pregnant but piled it on again after.

    I am starting with small goals I have at least 50lbs to shift so I am doing mini goals of 10lbs to keep me motivated.

    The food diary is brilliant. Stay honest with it, you'll be surprised at how much snacking adds up.

    Hello, Pixie.

    Good luck with your goals. If you'd like to add me feel free. Here is what I just posted in my forum intro:

    Hello. I've been away from MFP for some time but I am back and want to start using it more frequently. If you would like, please read my profile to find out more about me.

    For now:

    -If you are someone who is interested in seeing what someone else is doing here, you are positive and you are not dependent on others for your happiness then you may want to consider following me.

    -I have opened my diary, profile and blog to the public for those that are curious as to what someone else does here on MFP.

    -I'm open to gaining "friends" who would like to follow my progress as little or as often as they want.

    -I am currently interested in using the MFP site as a tool in my journey with food and movement rather than as a social network and will likely rarely communicate with the "friends" I make.

    -When I do communicate I only post positive feedback.

    -If "friends" want to communicate with me I respectfully ask that they consider posting minimal positive feedback and not taking it personally if I don't reciprocate. (Like I stated above...not really here for the social network).

    Thanks so much for considering and have a great day!

    Hi Pixie,

    The first step is the biggest. Remember that you are human and you will make mistakes. Don't beat yourself up about it. Just get back up on the horse and ride. All the best to you.

    Just remember that eating a treat that lasts for a minute probably won't be worth you working it off for an hour later that day. You don't want to just break even, you want to break through.
