Another fresh start...support needed

Tracydpips

Hi, today is another all too familiar fresh start. I have been trying to kid myself that I should be happy with who I am and in a lot of respects I am. However my weight is an issue and I would like to lose the extra pounds. Winter is difficult so today the sun is out and I am nervously tracking my calories and exercise from today. ????

Good luck! It is hard to jump back on the wagon in winter ( I know because I'm doing it, too), but imagine how great we can feel by summer!

Hi mrsmoet :-)

I am also new here and need support like you. I am tired of trying to loose weight all the time and see that I somehow lost motivation in the middle. This time I decided to just do it and get it over with. Let's start :-)

Good luck. Nobody likes to diet in the winter - but we all want to be slimmer by the summer. Just keep at it - even if you don't see immediate results, it is sticking to it that shows longer-term results.

I have started and failed more diets than I care to remember - sadly I was in the habit of creating a very optimistic spreadsheet for each one, so I don't need to remember, I have the proof. Also my 4 year membership on MFP serves as another beacon to my lack of willpower.

Now my attitude is one pound lost a month is better than 5 pounds lost in week 1 and 10 pounds gained through the remainder of the year. Once I removed unachievable goals, I find it all easier to stick to and more motivation.

Thanks ladies,

I am a successful dieter but when I am bad it's like self destruct!!! Have been very successful following weight watchers in the past but I just don't want to do that so going to calorie count, am a member of a gym but been really lazy the last couple of weeks. Yoga this morning though before work ????getting back into it gently
