in Getting Started
I am far from new to mfp. I am an emotional eater and I had so much happen in the last year that I gave up on myself. I started my journey before the new year because I knew if I didnt I wouldnt stick to it. I am back and growing stronger everyday. I am looking for friends who want to motivate each other!

    Motivation is always needed here.
    Each week is either gain 1/2 a lb or lost. How to shed 2 lbs in a week would be great. But how?

    I make it a goal to walk everyday. Im trying to ease in slowly because my knees are so bad. I walk 16,000-20,000 steps a day!

    That is an impressive amount of steps. Never underestimate how effective walking can be. IMO it is the foundation of having an active lifestyle. At the end of the day, the most important thing is to be consistent. You don't have to be perfect, just be consistent and the results will come.
