what it means to me

jennor8or

I woke up not in the mood to exercise... i wanted sweets for breakfast... just one of those "blah" days- I opened MFP and saw what looked like an interesting topic over on the right side of the screen- from there I saw some success stories then read some exercise questions someone had posted then I read about a woman who'd met her goal today and cried when she weighed...
MFP is motivation
MFP is support
MFP is encouragment
and MFP gets my *kitten* in gear
I have enjoyed this site but I swear I like it more as time passes

It basically keep me on track, and honest with myself. I've made a total transformation, between trying to exercise 3-5 times per week, etc. The ONLY thing I won't give up is half and half for my tea, everything else doesn't matter. This past Halloween for example, I did not have one piece of candy, that would have been unheard of years ago. To me, it's a toal mindset change, and it's about FREAKIN time!!!!

Well said!!!
Motivation, support, encouragement and accountability. : )

Also, my new Facebook- i actually speak with my friends by phone now since I'm hardly ever on Facebook sharing anymore.

MFP helps me in two ways. On the one hand, it makes me accountable for what I eat. On the other hand, the forum helps me to stay focused and motivated. Love it!

I agree , it is about time. It took me a few years to gain it, so I guess the weight wont come off so soon. I love half and half but was going way overboard with it, it was crazy. So, I dumped it and am now trying fat free milk. I wish I could just put it in my coffee but I am not able to at this time.

Yes, what you said. I have been very fortunate to find the friends I have found on here. I like reading their food diaries and cheering them on. I also like being there when someone has a bad day coz I know that feeling and it feels great to have several posts when I'm having a bad day myself. It does keep me accountable, sane and happy through this lifestyle change coz I'm not alone, there are a ton of people experiencing the same things I am. I like MFP a lot better than FB!

You know I was just speaking to my friend today that if it were not for MFP and the constant motivation, I am not sure I would still be on my journey. I am constantly being pushed to do better just because I have so many amazing friends that are so hard core, it keeps me in line. I agree, I am so thankful for the support system and the wonderful people I have met.

the site reminds me each day that i am accountable for my food choices.

i can see exactly what i'm taking in and what i'm burning each day. it has also helped me to avoid a lot of stuff that i shouldn't eat regularly, because when i'm in a situation where i could graze, i mostly think, "no thanks, i really don't want to have to write that down."

also, it's a site full of people with the same goal : to get fit and stay that way.

finally, i also got up today, really didn't want to exercise, and wanted total junk for breakfast. made good choices, though, partly because i have to write it all down. very glad to have this site; not sure that i would have been as successful at keeping the weight off without it.
