in Health and Weight Loss
I've been doing MFP for 135 days (since the end of September) and I have lost 10 pounds. But at this point in time (early February) I have lost my motivation. This last week I have become cranky, tired, and discouraged. I'm angry at myself and I just feel like going off the whole program. I KNOW that's not in my best interest and I need some motivation to stay on and keep going. I feel better just having put this out here into the community.

    Don't look at it as ten pounds if that number isn't what you want to see....look at it like you've lost over 27% of your goal!

    Before you give up the ship, have you been under your goal and logged EVERYTHING? Even a cup of coffee can put you over your calorie goal. Also, drink your water. It cleanses you. Skipping a meal does not work for me. If I eat Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner I do better. I will have more energy and not be so starved and prone to eat more. Also, I try not to eat as many calories as my goal offers. I try to keep to 1200 and not over 1500. Also, exercise is important or I would not lose anything at all. I work out 3 times a week and sometimes I add a walk in. If you need a friend for support feel free to add me.
