Im Re-starting

msmitch

hey, I'm michele. I started my journey over a year ago & tended to get distracted. I have a renewed vigor to make my goals, & i'm gonna see it thru. Current weight is 260. lowest in a very long time, and my goal for the moment is 199. Final goal of 120. Any advise or motivational help - i'll take anything i can get!

Take it one meal at a time, don't let a bad meal ruin a whole day. Stay positive and remind yourself every day why you want to do this. Log your food on MFP every day, even if you have gone off track, face up to your mistakes and get over them. Good luck x

Best of luck!

The biggest tip that's worked for me is to stop rewarding myself with food as it's changed the way I look at what I eat. I still have the odd bit of cake but just as part of what I choose to eat in a day. When I was using a meal out as a reward for weight loss or achieving exercise goals I found that I was thinking about food too much, if you know what I mean? I reward myself with a new book or some arty/crafty things now.

Keep up the good work

Hey Michelle, i have been trying to lose weight forever, i'm currently at 239lbs which is the lowest i have been for years. I've been stuck at this weight for ages but I'm not really trying hard enough. Well done to you for starting again. I really need to get my *kitten* into gear. Just do your best, that is all you can do. If you slip up, don't be to hard on yourself, just start again straight away don't let it ruin the rest of your day and try to remember why you are trying to lose the weight. Good luck!!!
