Returned and need that motivation

Raizel1209

Hello the name is Melyssa. I'm 5'8 and hoping to be able to lose 80lbs. I actually had downloaded this app with someone else last year but they ended up stopping and I followed suit. Which was dumb of me...I hope I can use this community to motivate me to become someone that's more confident with their body. And make friends along the way

Happy to help motivate! I started on here in 2012, got to my weight goal at the time and quit. Came back almost 2 years ago, after gaining 45 lbs, and have been here ever since. Down 60 to my lowest weight since high school and maintaining for 6 months.

I also need some extra motivation . . .I recently had foot surgery and (unfortunately) have used that as an excuse to feel sorry for myself, sit still for the last 3 months, and overeat/overdrink. I am now ready to get my mojo back - bathing suit season is coming up quickly!

Hi! My name is Raizel, so I was wondering if that is your part of your name too? You mentioned you needed motivation. To begin here I found it is very important to fill out the profile section on your page. It is a mission statement that will help you feel more committed. It makes you think exactly why you are here and write it down. It will help you and others to get to know where you are coming from and what goals are important to you.

Welcome back! I was here last year and lost 25 lbs but re-gained it all when I got slack and left here. I am looking to lose 25 lbs again! Feel free to add me as a friend.

Preach. I doubt I'll get to that point but I am working towards confidence! Hope we can motivate each other

Hey there. This is actually the first time I met a Raizel. I just really like the name and have been using it as a username when I post art.
Thank you for the advice. I'll definitely get on that quickly. I'm hoping to see change this year!

Thank you. Yeah I was able to lose about 20lbs until my friend quick and I gained it back and then some. I started doing Yoga back in September/October of last year and that has motivated to get me more active. Seeking all the help I can get
