Getting discouraged..could use friends for motivation

KristyB32

Its been a long 6 months, I'm now at a point where I'm not as motivated as in the beginning. I work night shift and I'm finding it harder each day to force myself to the gym and to eat healthy rather than grab something fast. I've been doing it on my own but I think now I could use some support..I still have a good ways to go and I do NOT want to start this journey over from the beginning. Anyone want to be a friend? We can help each other! :happy:

Hi,
I know what its like if you are tired & trying to diet. Messes with the blood sugar! I'll add you, I'm on line quite a bit. Based in UK so might be different time zone

I'm another night shift person here. I totally understand how hard it is getting up and getting motivated to workout.

oh no, don't get discouraged! i will add you if you want to be my friend on here - i'm by no means perfect in my journey, but i'm supportive and always appreciate having others around me that are also supportive! I think the friends aspect on here makes things so much more achievable than doing, say, weight watchers

YES, add Jaxbeck and me! We are already MFP friends and motivate each other daily! We have plenty of room for one more!!! I'm frustrated too.... let's be friends and vent and motivate and celebrate when the victories come!

I use to work the night shift and know how hard it is to have a normal schedule let alone eat healthy. You can add me if you like, I would have no issue in helping give some encouragement from time to time. Just keep your eye on the goal!

I hear you loud & clear! I fell off the wagon myself for a little over a month. Thankfully, I've stayed the same weight, but I am tired of feeling so blah all the time & seeing the looks I get from strangers. I moved recently, so add that to the stress of learning a new job, getting used to a new area & state...

I am happy to report though that my consumption of fast foods has dropped considerably since I moved. I am shopping more regularly, cooking at home more & now that the weather is getting nicer, I am hoping to get out more & walk or bike after work. I park further away when at work, so I have to walk more.

Anyhow, I will add you & if anyone would like to add me as well, that would be fabulous!

I'll send a friend request. I'm still early in my latest (and last!) fitness journey, so I'm pretty excited.

The first thing I thought of when I read your post was that this is a great time to start something new. I don't know exactly what you might be doing now. But it you're not weight lifting, maybe give that a shot. If you're not running now and think you might like it, try Couth to 5k. I recently was introduced to Nerd Fitness. I'm a computer geeky kind of chick and found that site interesting. Or grab a new workout video that you haven't tried yet (Jillian Michaels or Insanity or Zumba). Or grab a couple of co-workers and walk for 30-45 minutes after your shift in the morning. Something fresh and new to get you excited again!

I also work the night shift and can really relate to what your saying it is very hard to live a normal life.. I can help you and you can help me stay motivated since we are up at the sametimes of the day and night...Add me if you want..

Yes! I want to be your friend! Im pretty sure I added you, as I said I'm a little slow and still learning. I think friends are definitely a great key to success in the weight loss journey. Look foward to chatting and supporting each other!

Aww thanks! It's been an extremely tough battle. I do believe anything is possible if you want it bad enough. I don't know how I've come to this point alone, but I'm hoping it changes and I think it will be great having support as well as being able to give it as well! Btw..you look GREAT!

KristyB32

I sent you a friend request! You look like you are doing so well so far. I'm excited to be back to MFP, I fell off the wagon for a spell lol but I'm back and better than ever!

Welcome back! I want your motivation!

Do you find it easier to work out after work or before? I usually go before work because if I go afterwards I feel wide awake and will never fall asleep. Ugh the joys of night shift. lol

marcyzevnick

I understand about grabbing something quick. I get home late from work and cooking is the last thing I want to do. But lately ive been really trying. Would love to motivate eachother!

HiImToni

I added you I just came back after not using the site for awhile, but I am finding that having friends on here helps a heck of a lot more!
