    Welcome. I have been on MFP for almost 4 months. It's the best decision I have made in many years. I have lost weight with diets many times before, but it was never a lifestyle change. This time is different; it's a lifestyle change, not a diet. Good luck on your weight loss journey. Please feel free to add me as a friend; we can help motivate each other.

    It is like the freshman 15 in college for me. Whenever I am single I workout and lose weight but as soon as I get into a relationship I get comfortable and gain weight. The weight gain is mainly because I'm going out to restaurants more or eating side by side to a guy where I forget about my portion sizes. One relationship I was in for 3 1/2 years (but unhappy) I ballooned up almost 60 pounds. I lost about 45 pounds since that relationship ended and am happy to say I have met a great guy about 6 months ago. Unfortunately I gain almost 10 of the pounds back! :sad: So before it gets out of control here I am ready to re-evaluate my responsibilities to myself. I have also asked for the support of my boyfriend by understanding I don't want fast food every time he wants to stop there on the way from home. I have a desk job and he is a laborer. I just don't burn the calories in a day that he does without workouts. I have also explained I need to spend more time working out even if this interferes with the amount of time we see each other. Thankfully he understands and that is what all of us need is someone that is supportive of our efforts in becoming healthy.
