Hi everyone,

I've been using MFP for over a month now and love it. I've been very diligent in making sure I add my foods throughout the day and even weigh myself each week.

Here's my problem. This last week, I slacked in my tracking and noticed a change (for the worst) in my eating habits. I don't know why it happened, but I started eating horrible things even though I knew I shouldn't . As a result, I gained back 2.5 pounds in 10 days! What's wrong with me!?!?!

After reading through some posts here on the site, I thought maybe I needed some motivation from people I know are in the same boat as I am. So, I decided to introduce myself and really get in the program

This will happen from time to time!! Remember you are not on a diet.. but a lifestyle change!!! Just get back in the game and make the right choices!! This will not be the last time you make poor eating choices- we all do it!! And that is OK!! Just crack down when you can!!! If I know I am/have/will be eating bad, Ill beef up my exercise!! Sometimes this helps!!! Good Luck!!

Today is a new day get back on track-sometimes I do this too one bad day turns into 3 or 4 and before you know it youve gained couple lbs, eat healthy drink plenty of water and if you can exercise and you will bounce back

It happens to all of us! Just get back on that wagon and start a new day. Don't beat yourself up for what happened, that's the past. Take it one day at a time, and reach your daily goals! Good luck!

Thanks for the support, I needed that!

I'm lacking in exercise for sure. Being a mom of 2 little boys (2 and 4 years old) and working full time, it's hard to get time in for me, but I need to start! Seems like that only real time I do any is when I'm cleaning or mowing the lawn.

I'll definately use this site to keep me motivated.

Thanks again!
