Starting again......

yoliebot

I'm starting this journey again. My weight has been up and down for a few years and I have tried a few diets with supplements but I've gotten tired of it and very unmotivated. I need some help with renewed motivation and I'm always looking for new friends to keep me accountable. I'm in the Fort Worth area.

Hi Ladies! The bad news is that motivation and anonymous "friends" online aren't reliable ways to lose weight. It takes determination (make the decision) and patience (let the process work over time).
Set your calorie goals in MFP, weigh all of your food in grams with a scale, and go from there.
This is also a very helpful post:

Agree with Kathryn. I think it’s great to find inspiration online, however we are faced with the decision every day - do we do it or not? And how many times do we want to start over?

Personally, I don’t even bring a pal into the gym with me. It might be apart of my own mental self-discipline, but making that decision by myself and for myself every day is the most empowering. It’s taken me a long time to reach this point. Sometimes I won’t even go to the grocery store because I have anxiety about doing things alone. But this journey to recover from years of self-neglect is my own trip.

I guess what I’m saying is that I hope you get that motivation and that spark for yourself. It’s fun having fitness friends to bounce ideas and light off of, but ultimately you’re the only one who can hold yourself accountable. So how bad do you really want the success?
