    Welcome! I am recently restarting again. I don't offer much advice because I have learned what works for me and not necessarily what works best for everyone. If you wander around the message boards I am sure you can find lots of advice on all different questions. My motivation runs away without me a lot too and I wish I had a solution for that problem, but I am still a work in progress. Feel free to add me as a friend if you wish.

    Welcome...to MFP, military spouse life, and working out/dieting. I hope that you enjoy all of it.
  • Hey, my name is Amy. Today is my first day on mfp. So far I'm really liking it. I have been struggling for years with my weight. I am horrible with self motivation and even worse with will power...... My down fall was soda. I probably had any where between 6 and 9 cokes a day everyday for the past 15 years...... Been off sofa for 11 days and hanging in there :) We are about to start a new chapter in our lives. We are going to Ft. Leonard Wood Missouri in Dec. for 3 years and I'm gonna have to meet people and put my self out there. I want to look good and feel confident. I don't want to continue avoiding social situations because I feel bad about myself. It is becoming a problem and affecting my relationship.
