in Introduce Yourself
Well, technically that's not true - I've been signed up to myftinesspal for a while now but have found that I've not really stuck to the diet propelry.

Following the ending of my relationship recently, I've decied to take my life into my own hands and start again. I've signed up for a half marathon in October which I am already training for and am starting my preivous hobby of kick boxing tonight (after a four year break - gulp!).

I am really determined to do it this time - not just to lose weight but to generally get healthier. I've realised that although I eat resonably well, I do drink a bit too much which I've decided to nip in the bud.

Would like to meet some others on here who are also just starting out for a bit of moral support!

Joining zumba, starting a running program and very determined to stick to MFP. Feel free to add me or message for support and motivation!

    Hello,
    i was on MFP a year ago and last 30pounds, and have just started a fresh account today to finished off what i never did before :)

    Kick boxing very good for all round cardio / conditioning. when I started up kickboxing after a 6month gap my legs were sore for 2days after :P

    Even thought I didn't follown MFP, I did manage to lose 10 pounds at hte beginning of this year so that I'm now in a healthy BMI, but ideally would like to lose another ten.

    I think the reason I didn't take it too seriously last time was that I was in an unhappy relationship,s o was comfort eating and drinking too much vino.

    However, I am really determined this time - it's time to take care of myself for a while and ot be a bit selfish :)

    I hear you on the comfort eating and drinking too much vino- and completley agree that being a bit selfish is fine for a while! My thoughts are very much alike!

    I signed up for MyFitnessPal 3 days ago but today is my first day actually logging on. I had lost 40 pounds and somehow gained it all back so I was looking for an app that I could track all of my eating. I know that I eat without thinking about it but when I write it down I am more aware of it and am in more control,

    Oh how I remember DAY1!

    It was the beginning of my awesome journey. I was a little scared, a little excited and not too motivated. I really wondered if this was going to work.

    Last Friday I celebrated my 1 year anniversery here and I could not be happier.

    Use the tools, make great supportive friends, and you will succeed.

    Wishing you great success in your journey to a new you! Just remember to enjoy the ride! :flowerforyou:

    Hi, on Day 2 and so looking forward to shifting this weight - just too scared to weigh myself though ?!?! Thought I´d try and slim down a bit first and then weigh myself so its not too much of a shock !

    Amazing how I already feel like ´someone is watching´ so Im aware of every single thing that Im eating - for sure I think this will work!

    Good luck to everyone and well done to those high achievers - thank you for the inspiration!

    I have been using MFP for about 6 months, but every day is like the first day. It is conscious decision to "start over"! :) I am running my first half marathon in November in Savannah GA. Feel free to add me if you'd like.

    :smile: I am just into my 2nd week - have found it really hard the days that I'm working and stuck at a desk for 8 - 10 hours, plus being winter here no time to do anything on those days and find I graze all day and go over my calories. I love days off as if the weather is good I get outside with my horses and burn lots of energy.
    I'm not a very disciplined person so am finding this really good as it makes me stop and think about what I'm eating & just how much I put into my body. I am hoping to not only lose weight but also develop healthier habits along the way.

    Hi - I'm on day 2. Yesterday I just used the phone app to log what I ate (and to meal plan for the week!). Today I've found the forum which I'm hoping will give me the support, inspiration, motivation, and meal ideas that I need to make a sucess of this.

    I've know for a while that I need to "do something" to sort out my eating habbits and weight. I hate not fitting into my clothes, I hate dressing to cover up rather than show off, and above all I hate that I seem to eat without thinking about the effects it will have. I'm really hoping that logging everthing that goes in, will make me think more about what I'm eating and why I'm eating it.

    Yesterday (day 1) was great (after the inital shock of weighing myself.....), I stuck with in my 1200 cal limit, and enjoyed cooking up a huge batch of heathly, tasty, low cal ratatouille which I had for dinner last night with teryaki salmon, and had for lunch just now with a wholemeal pitta bread nom nom nom!!!!

    As I've only just found this forum I don't have any friends yet - if anyone wants to friend me please do, hopefully we can inspire and motivate eachother along!!

    I'm on day 3 now, so Monday was day 1!

    Typical that I've been poorly and just want junk food...

    Lost weight on here before but fell off the wagon, so back on again and need some inspiration. Need to lose 30lb before Christmas, that's my long term target and achievable if I put my mind to it!
