I have been on MFP for a couple of months now and only have lost 11 pounds. I cant seem to stick with anything. I do good for a while then I fall off the wagon again. I need encouragement to stick with this and not let it be another diet I failed. HELP0

Hi everyone, I am starting on my second week of my weight loss program. Never been known as small. I live up to my german heritage by being a sturdy girl. But, I am 55 and no longer as sturdy as I use to be. I have a husband that loves to trave and a 14 year old and struggle to keep up with them and work activities. Would like to get rid of some of the aches and pains and have energy. I do believe you have to take ownership of healing your mind and body. It's something I have let go for too long.
As I said we love to travel so I decided to start my program now to help me prepare for a trip. We will be cruising to Alaska and we have choosen some very challenging activities.
I ready several of your replys and I face the same ups and downs. Wt loss is challenging but I do know from experience it works best with support so that is why I am joining all of you. I need to loose 70lbs to be at the appropriate BMI. I know my confort area would be 50lbs. I will not lose that before the trip but if I can get 10 or 15lbs off I will be soooo Happy!! So here we go. I have currently have 5lbs off and as someone said I am in my honeymoon phase so I am hanging in there. Life style and work makes it hard for me to eat the right things but I am giving it great thought and trying to plan ahead. I am not much for carrying healthy snacks with me but if I can carry unhealthy snacks I guess I can change that habit.
Look forward to supporting all of you and your support. Add me as a friend.0 -

Hi Everyone!
I'm from Northern Ireland (or as we say over here 'Norn Iron') and joined a week ago after finding MFP online. I've been overweight most of my life (I'm 29 now) and I don't want to let my life slip me by anymore. It's been an eye opener about calories and fitness and seeing so many wonderful success stories in the forums! This is a total life change for me, I'm working out, walking and eating healthy and already I feel so much better. I've lost 5lb and 4.5 inches overall so far, but I'm looking forward to losing a lot more!
Being motivated is a huge part of losing weight, and having good, supportive friends on MFP is essential. Looking forward to undertaking this challenge with you all.

hi,
I am sheri a 49 yr old mom to 7, only 3 still at home. We have 4 adult children, and we did fostercare for 7 yrs and adopted the 3 younger ones which are now 12,14 and 15. I gained alot of weight due to fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and hypothyroid. Between the medication, lack of exercise due to pain and problems walking and comfort eating because of feeling so crappy all the time I gained ALOT of weight. I decided I was just sick and tired of being sick and tired and decided in july 2010 to give MFP a try. Since then I have lost 104 lbs and i feel like I have my life back. It takes time, but dont give up, together we can do this0 -

I know the best thing I can do is keep positive so I'm ready to get started0

Hellooooo all! My name is Suze and I am 23 yrs old, Australian, and sick of being overweight! I love health and fitness and actually work helping other women reach their health and fitness goals (plus I'm studying Nursing). I am doing this to remain accountable because I have a very bad habit of falling off the wagon and taking a week or so of bad eating before I get back on again!! My biggest problem is not staying in the "zone". If I eat even one thing that I didn't plan or shouldn't be eating it is enough for me to throw it all in and go "all out"!! If your story sounds similar and you want a buddy to whinge and cry along with, then add me! I have roughly 55 pounds to lose and I need all the help I can get! :happy:0

My name is Lindsay, I'm 31 years old and mother to a 3 1/2 year old. I have my ups and downs, was so proud of myself in March because I had lost about 30lbs...and now I've gained almost all of it back. I do ok until something rocks the boat and I fall overboard, my ex has a lot to do with that. I work full-time as a 911 dispatcher and part-time as an EMT, so I don't have a whole lot of time to workout...this also has an effect on my diet. I eat what's quick and easy most of the time. I need a lot of help keeping motivated and moving in the right direction.0

Hello, I'm Jane. I am 43 ( 44 on saturday) and have been overweight my whole adult life. I started on MFP on January 1st and started adding friends in March when I realised that I was actually going to stick to this! :drinker:
I have IBS which is pretty much under control and don't eat vegetables - I spent my whole childhood being told off for not eating veg which is why I have my diary closed now, I'm here to give and receive support, not to judge or be judged:happy:
I have a 5 year old son with autism, and need to be fitter to keep up with him.
Good luck everyone :flowerforyou:0 -

Hi! I'm Erika and I've been on MFP since January 10th, 2012. I've been overweight my whole life, and have gone on many diets in the past. Something really clicked this winter, and I became very determined to lose for good. MFP is such a great support group, and I'm sure I wouldn't have made it past the first two weeks if it weren't for this site. I started at 360 lbs, and am now down to 313 lbs. However, I've hit a really bad plateau/slump recently, and could use some support to get back on track. I do good for a few days, and then the next few days I go back to my old eating habits. I don't want this to be another failed diet! Hopefully we can help each other to succeed!0

Hi, my name is Faye, I'm 32, I've been doing really well on MFP since November, recently I'm getting a bit disheartened and disinterested, slipping up in places, lacking in motivation and exercise. I can't give up though, I NEED to do this. I'm actually a lot more positive than this post sounds lol. Feel free to add me :laugh:0

hi, i'm eff. i'm 22, and i've never been at a healthy weight, even as a child. my goal is to lose a little under 40 lb. i've been on mfp since summer of last year, but i keep slipping up because i have really bad binging tendencies. i don't want to use food as fuel. i want to enjoy it, as it's intended, without going about it unhealthily.0
