Hi!

KellaQ

Hi all,

I've been on MFP for a few months, and just recently started checking out the message board for motivation. Just thought I'd say hello!

I've been struggling with my weight for the last 12 years or so. I am an emotional eater, so getting to the root of that is really what I need to be able to succeed in my weight loss journey. It's no easy task, as I'm sure a lot of you know. I've done weight watchers numerous times, and the most i was able lose was 20 lbs and then I would end up giving up. I'm proud to say that I'm down 24 lbs right now, just by using mfp and being accountable to myself! I don't know what clicked in my head to make it work this time, but I'm not going to complain! I have a long way to go and I'm taking it one step at a time!

Thanks for reading!

It just takes a little work on your part. My advice is educate yourself on healthy eating. Buy a food scale and watch portions. Limit processed and fast foods. Cook fresh Veggies and Meats. Eat whole grain Low carb Low Cal Breads and Pasta. Fresh Fruits. Did I say watch Portions. In the beginning it will be hard to get over cravings. But if you stick with it you will. Don't drink your calories. Did I say watch portions. Oh and watch portions.
