in Introduce Yourself
Hi all! I have been on MFP very sporadically since 2011, a few months after I had my twins. I really need to push myself now. This weight is unbearable! Anyone looking for a buddy, let me know <3 I have about 80 lbs to lose. :(

    Noelle:

    All you have to do is lose 1 pound. 80 times. Thats it.

    Hi

    That kick to get it done comes from inside....


    The fact you are reaching out and being honest about your struggle is a sign of grwoth and progress. Take comfort in that.
    The difference between MFP and everything else? If you adopt the mindset that its a lifestyle change & not a diet, the rest will fall into place.

    The past is done. The future will be here soon enough. Try and focus on today & today only. Its all we have to work with.

    3 months ago, I weighed 312 pounds. I woulda been dead in 5 years if I hadn't 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 can help you with getting there, but the doing is up to you. Leave rationalizing at the door, and sontinue to be honest with yourself. Its the only path to long term success

    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.

    Knowing that plus the support I get from my MFP buds make enough difference that Ive lost 37 in 114 days without doing anything stupid. You just find what works and then hammer the crap out of it, staying in the present while doing so.

    If you will stay committed to this, your MFP tribe will commit to helping. Why? Because that's what we do. And we have ALL been there.

    3 months ago, walking was a chore.

    Last weekend, I walked 6 miles. And loved it

    You got this.. and we got you.

    FR headed your way

    HI!!!
    I am in need of focused friends as well. I have been using MFP for about 3 years, the past year only sporadically. Now that I am ready to regroup I have about 25 pounds to lose. This past year I have been recuperating from an accident and got waaaaaaaaay off track, eating everything in sight LOL
    As of September I am once again eating vegetarian and I will go to VEGAN later this month! I have been vegetarian most of my life, eating fish when the mood strikes. Now I think that eating clean is the absolute single most important thing I can do to rev up my metabolism and drop these pounds. I am unable to do a lot of exercise yet so this too will be quite a challenge for me. I will be looking for friends who believe in eating clean mostly raw foods and positivity positivity Positivity..,,so important for everyone in this world for what we think about we bring about!!!!
    :flowerforyou: :drinker: :smile:
    Best wishes to all of you, in all you do!!!
