in Introduce Yourself
Just thought I would say Hi! I am new here and just trying to get it all figured out. So far I think I am doing OK :) Hope to meet some great people to help me stay motivated on this journey. I would love to loose a total of 60 lbs all said and done. I am not to sure on how to go about finding friends and such and I am terrible at this message board thing. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

    Having supportive friends on here is very helpful! I don't think I could have stuck with it if I didn't have such supportive friends. I will send you an invite. I have lost 24 lbs. using MFP and Chalean Extreme as my workout.

    here are a few tips that I found to work for me:
    1. Make MFP your home page
    2. Log in EVERYDAY, read the message boards... post.. Keep your mind actively thinking about it.
    3. Don't try to change too much at once, Implement 1 change every week or so. Little tweeks over time seem to work best or at least better than butt load of change all at once
    4. Always be honest. We al fall on our way to the top, be honest, no one is judging you here... we all support eachother
    5. Keep trying new things until you find what works for you (It took me a while to find my plan and it works great for me but I wouldn't push it on anyone else)
    6. Its easier to lift weights than the burdens of carrying weight.
    7. take it one day at a time.
    8. Have a cheat day or meal, where you eat what you want
    9. Try to talk to yourself as if you are talking to your child or loved one. Often times the thing we need most is to be a better friend to ourselves.
    10. Smile. :)
    I don't wish people good luck, I never had it and don't need it! Luck doesn't get you through this... hard work does!;)
