in Introduce Yourself
After tipping the scale at just over 300 lbs, I was determined to finally take control of my weight and health! I bought a Fitbit to help become more active; started walking for 30 minutes a day; and measured my food and counted calories on MFP. The combination helped me lose over 50 lbs in five months. I've come a long way... but still have a long way to go before I am where I want to be.

I'm afraid I've become too complacent these past few weeks. I've gone over my calories far too many times; eaten things I know I shouldn't; and basically stopped working out. I am not the least bit happy about this! In fact, I am seriously disappointed in myself. But I'm not going to give up over a few bumps in the road. As of today, I am renewing my commitment to a healthier lifestyle!

Therefore, I am looking for dedicated and supportive MFP friends! Any help, support or motivation would be greatly appreciated. And of course, I always try to return the favor! :-)

    Congratulations on your progress up to this point! That's fantastic! Feel free to add me. I hit 27 lbs. and I am at a stand still because I'm not doing everything I could be doing to push through. Others are welcome to add me as well! Good luck!

    In exactly the same boat! I am 31 and had my fifth baby in January. I was eating right and exercising 3-5 hours per week. I was so happy for losing the first twenty lbs! I had a goal of 80 lbs total so I felt I was finally on my way. Then at the beginning of the month, my baby was hospitalized for a week and I ate complete junk food the whole time. I started my soda and asugary Starbucks habit again, and quit working out. Now my baby is home and our routines are back to normal but I just have lost a lot of hope and motivation since I weighed in and saw that I had put 7 lbs back on this month. :(

    I have to get back on track! Would love to be held accountable by people who know what I am going through.

    Congrats on the weight loss so far. I'm on several times a day and try to help out when necessary. I have a long way to go so I'll be here for the duration. I also am looking for motivated friends to keep me on the straight and narrow~
