MFP Newbie

Hi! I've just joined MFP to keep easy track of my food/fitness calories. I've struggled with losing 100lbs for about 8-9 years now and truthfully it gets more frustrating by the day that I'm currently within 10lbs of my highest weight.

I know all the facts, what I need to do, what to eat, how much exercise I need... and no matter what I do nothing seems to give me results for very long and then I end up back up.

Motivation is a big problem for me, especially when nothing seems to be working and the numbers are going the wrong way! But I've always known that I want to get as healthy as possible before trying to have a child and with that decision becoming closer and closer I'm sure that will help to keep me motivated as I wnat more than anything to be a healthy weight for my baby!

Looking forward to getting to know the site and you all! :happy:

Welcome! I'm struggling with motivation, too! But I find making friends on here helps. A lot of us experience similar things, and while no one else in life (it seems) goes through the same stuff I do- I always find someone here with the same thing going on. It helps to talk about it!

Good luck! Track honestly every day, even on bad days, and you'll start losing!

I'm in a similar boat. I lost a bunch of weight a few years ago, exercised , lifted weights and counted the calories/carbs/fat etc but it's so much work and life caught up with me. I'm about 10 pounds from my heaviest and it's so depressing. How did I let this happen again, you know? I'm confident I can do it again, I just need to DO IT
