in Introduce Yourself
Hi All

I'm not so much as new as have been using the app since February this year. However I don't have any friends on here & am now starting to lose motivation & feel I need people to talk to as am hitting a brick wall but really don't want to undo all the hard work I've done!

Please feel free to add me as a friend if you too would like support etc :)

We can do this together
Thank you x

    Hi Dave, thank you for your post.
    I've been a member since February but this week started finding it hard & weightless seemed to have hit a plateau - this has knocked me as was doing well.
    So need the motivation from others, I also have a good sense of humour - I'm not always getting down about weight lol.

    I try to be & enjoy supporting others. If taking 5mins out of my day can make others feel better than that's fine with me :) x

    Hi. I'm old enuf to be your mom, but would still be delighted to be your friend. I can offer whatever encouragement or advice I can for you and would welcome any in return. Don't be discouraged. Remember, this is for a better "rest of your life" ... don't look back 2 or 5 or 10 years and wish that you'd hung on "back then". Good luck. I'll send a friend request.

    I'm newer to the social side of this too but have met some great people who have given me good advice on my lack of good eating. Sometimes you just need someone with fresh eyes to see what you are doing.

    Thank you for the advice & I'll be sure to return this too. We can do this together :) x

    I've been a member since feb but never really used MFP properly for the community side till today lol

    I can beat that. First signed-up in 2012 and only today looked at the community/forum bits of the site! Just used MFP - very sporadically - as a calories counter till now, but it's good to read other people stories etc.

    In terms of motivation, I agree with toadg53 - the avoidance of future regrets is what keeps me on the ball these days.

    Best of luck with your goals.

    completely agree! I'm doing so well & am really proud of myself but this weekend I'm just having meltdowns lol.
    I also need to think a bout my exercise & start changing that as think I'm getting used to what I'm doing. Be so nice if I could just buy a new body lol.

    I have been a member for a while but recently started tracking everyday and really measuring my food with a small kitchen scale and being mindful of everything I eat (also due to health reasons not just loosing weight) I don't have many friends and look at the community posts if something looks interesting or helpful so feel free to add me
