    I know it sounds like I am making excuses but weekend I am checking recipes and doing a big shop and chucking all bad things out , thanks for your support I am going to need it x

    Is this the same approach you tried with previous attempts at this?

    If so, may I suggest a different approach this time?

    Read through the links provided. There is another way that you may find works better for you. It has for many others.

    All the best! You are worth looking after! It has taken me a very long time to decide that I am valuable to me and my family and that I need to treat myself with the respect I deserve, I see that you are making the same choice! Awesome! I am cheering for you.

    I get it OP. I have felt the same way you are now for too long. I started at the middle of May because I'd just had enough. Start today. It's not that hard. Small adjustments, one pound at a time. There are people on here that have lost a whole person and stuck with it. It's an amazing thing! Don't get down on yourself, we've all made mistakes.

    I also don't think of it as a "Diet" but a life style change for the better. I'm 42 weighed 265lbs at the beginning of February this year and now at 195ish pounds. My goal is 160lbs. I weigh my food and track it daily, run 5k daily and now starting to bike also daily, depending on my old bones LOL. Add me if any of you would like. GOOD LUCK 8)

    Just wanted to say real quick! What really helped me to stick with it this time around was logging everything. IF I don't log, I'm more likely to cheat, I hate seeing my calories go into the RED on MFP.

    I am really impressed with your desire to get better. We are all behind you.
    I am sending a friend request.

    One thing however... and this is important...

    To eat less calories you don't need to check any recipes...

    Set a good level of calories and eat at that. You will probably find you eat a lot simpler.

    Keep reading all the posts... and if they sound harsh and or curt... read them again.. there is usually truth written by someone who has "been threre"

    You can do this! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Welcome to the party....FR being sent now

    Past is done. The future will be here soon enough. What you have to do is focus on today & today only. Its all we have to work with, my friend.

    I woulda been dead in 5 years if I made this commitment. All signs were pointing that way.

    Just a few things the MFP tribe and common sense has taught me:

    1) This is a thing you DO, not a definition of who you ARE. Just like laundry. Take the emotion out of it wherever possible. I cannot stress this enough.

    2) My approach? This is a lifestyle change, not a diet. So there is no finite number of days that I am trying to get to. I will be logging in and logging food for the rest of my life, because:

    a) This program works
    b) I don't want to die young and I was headed that direction

    3) Try to remember - We are the results of the choices we make every day, whether those choices are good or bad. Make as many good choices as you can, and the ship will stay steady. At the end of the day, we are the man in the mirror. We are accountable to ourselves and no one else. We cabnhelp you with getting there, but the doing is up to you.

    Cal tracking is considered a good choice (whether boring or not) because it tells you where you really are (just like your check register tells you your balance) - remember to be honest with yourself all the time. Ultimately, you will achieve that which you are seeking much sooner.

    This is what this site is about, helping, encouraging, and sometimes hard truth said nicely (and some not so nice, ignore those). Good luck with your health
