I'm losing the fun and excitement I had coming on here. :yawn: Help! Any suggestions??

Me too. I used to be on MFP a ridiculous amount of time, but now it's just a quick check-in to log my food, check on my friends, and then I'm off. I think part of why I've lost interest is my friends. I weighed in yesterday.


Buccinator lost 3 pounds since her last weigh-in! She's lost 29 pounds so far.


No comments. None.

I'm trying to get back into the forum and find some more friends, maybe that'll respark my interest. So that's what I would suggest. Hope that helps.

my life got busier and now MFP is last on my to do list (as is me time and my work outs). Try making new friends or creating a challenge for the ones you have. maybe you need some friendly compitition

Weight loss isn't fun. It's hard work. This site is makes it manageable and there are other people here in the same boat as you. You do because it's better than quitting. I run a lot now but I still hate running. The only thing that I like about running is finishing and reaching my goal. This isn't Facebook it's MyFitnessPal. Sorry if I'm sounding blunt but this is hard work and isn't suppose to be fun. People here can make it more enjoyable but it's hard work (period)

When I find myself losing momentum, I try to change my focus. Maybe try a new class at the gym, or run a new route. Sometimes life gets in the way and I can't focus on losing, so I make sure to maintain my progress until I can pick it back up again. The most important thing is that you continue to monitor and don't let yourself slide into old habits.

Good luck!

You are so right. When I first joined, I would always get the "WTG, good job" comments and those have even died off. I still have a few loyal friends that comment but nothing like before. I joined a challenge on here and that was fun. Everyone was so into it but then after a weeks it just died down. Thankfully I haven't gained any weight and right now I seem to be maintaining. I want to lose at least 10 more though so I've got to get my motivation back.
