Hi

I'm Jacqui, I've been using mfp on and off for some time now. My problem seems to be that I cannot maintain motivation. I'll have a really good week then something will happen that will distract from my plans and I'll find it really hard to get back on track, not just a day or two but weeks before I really tell myself off and make myself get back into it.

I know what I should be eating, and I know that I should be planning what I eat each week as this really helps me to stop getting too hungry and eating whatever is around.

I think if I use this as more of a support community it would prompt me to come on here every day and really concentrate on losing weight. At the moment my only friends on here are my parents, and although they are supportive, they use this site more sporadically than me!

I know it's a bit cheeky but if anyone out there would add me as a friend and help keep my motivational levels up I will try and do whatever I can to keep you on the straight and narrow to success as well! :)

Thanks all xx

  • I'll do my best to keep you motivated. I always have a problem with motivation too, however recently I spend some of my extra time surfing fitspo blogs and find it to be the best motivation in the world.
    Find what suits you best in the field of motivation and be positive about yourself. You can do this.

    Hi Jacqui

    I've just passed my 1st MFP birthday!! :happy:

    Stick with it and it gets easier. Logging my food is now just second nature to me and sooo easy using the mobile apps (I have it on my android mobile and on my ipod touch lol!)

    I now use my diary to plan ahead, I've already got everything for today planned in to my diary (except my tea, not sure what I'm going to have yet!) helps me know how much exercise I need to do to be able to eat what I want to eat.

    Will send you a friend request x
