Back again...

Options
I used Fitness Pal a while ago and I ofund it useful but did not use it diligently. I have a lot of health issues due ot my weight so I am very committed to doing something. I have 20 pounds to lose and it seems impossible. My spirits are not the greatest. Hope to connect with some of you.

    I'm trying MFP for the first time and have a large amount to lose......my ticker below is not all I have to lose to make a healthy weight but the number was so demotivating that I decided to take it in steps.

    Seems like a great community here and lots of people shaing motivation. FGeel free to add me and we can motivate each other.

    Hi Denise,

    I am new to this, but I am positive that it will help the both of us. We have to encourage one another. Sometimes, you need to change what you are doing if it is not working. I recently did the Daniel Fast for 21 days and lost 12 pounds. But I know that I can't just maintain a fruit and vegtable diet. I need to be deligent with my exercise and changing the way I eat. I ate to much a couple of days, but I am not going to say to myself, it's over. I am more determined than ever and I know we can get rid of our excess!

    Cheer up! at least you are not giving up and you're back for another go!! what is your biggest obstacle, working out, food or what? I found bumping up the flavor on my meals with lots of fresh ingredients helps with my meals and fun music always makes working out seem less like work.

    Let me know what you need help with and maybe we can brain storm a way to keep you on track :)

    Welcome back! This is my first time using fitnesspal. I know what you mean about feeling frustrated about the 20lbs. You can do this!!! From your post you sound focused and that will take you far my friend!

    We are all in this together and we can ALL do it. I look forward to seeing your progress! Let me know if you want to talk about recipes.. I love to cook and have found some great low-cal but fullfilling foods.

    Cheers!:flowerforyou:

    It can be a struggle for sure.....but the best thing to do is share what you actually struggle with....with so many people here, with similar aspirations and experiences, you are bound to get some good responses.
