in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone,

Been back and forth on MFP. Most of the time I don't participate in the community but lately food has taken control and I'm finding less and less motivation to stay healthy. Would love to gain a good support system here, so feel free to add me! *facepalm for joining MFP for the millionth time*

    Hi :)

    Same here! I decided to come back on again today. It's been hard for me to stay on track with healthy eating and working out :neutral:

    @fightforitmp It feels good to hear we're in the same boat, it's a terribly frustrating process that I often don't like to share :s Mind if I add?

    Yea I know what you mean... and it's hard having to "start over"
    No I don't mind, go ahead.

    @laceybrobie: 1 lb at a time has always been helpful for me, thank you!

    @healthylisa38: Tried sending my email via messaging on MFP.. for some reason it wasn’t working. I would love to be a part of it though!

    @justthe8ofus: I know the feeling, it’s so frustrating. I forgot how much hard work it takes too :/

    @abideedum: I’ll keep my diary public too. I’m definitely down to fuel as much support as possible!

    @indigoblue9572: Added!

    @MrsMango: Added! The more friends and support, the better.

    Hi. I'm Jojo. I have the same problem. I want to remain motivated, but food tends to take over. I truly have struggled all my life with my weight. It's a daily battle and most days with food, I've lost.
    Hang in there. Stay connected, read articles, and post your goals often, everywhere.

    Hello, everyone. I logged for a whole year and fell off the wagon around Christmas. I had lost 27 pounds and have gained half of it back already. I know what to do, I just don't feel like doing it most of the time. I've lost 30+ pounds fives times and gained it back (plus more) six times. I want to get to a healthy weight and STAY THERE! Feel free to add me.

    this all sounds so much like me! I am on and off....I get so disappointed in myself! I need a support group of folks who understand the ups and downs of this weight loss journey!

    I have run out of excuses so I a trying hard to keep myself motivated. After letting myself put on a lot of pounds over the past few years I knew I had to make a change! Started back this week! Would enjoy having some ladies on MFP to keep each other motivated. Don't give up! "One Day at a Time" has become my motto!
