Back on the wagon...

jsteinberg87

So it's been 9 months since I was last on MFP (as of a few days ago). With all the changes in my life in the last year, I really fell off the wagon. I didn't gain all my weight back, but I did gain enough back to be pretty disappointed in myself. I am really trying to find a positive outlook on everything, but its difficult. I reset my goals under settings and realized that it totally reset my tracker and all the weight I did lose. It made me sad, because I didn't gain all my weight back, but now its at a big fat 0! It gave me a little bit of motivation because I want to see the tracker move like it did months ago. Also, now that I'm back... a lot of my friends on here either stopped using MFP or deleted me due to not being on for so long. I added a few back, but I am definitely looking for some friends and motivational support. That was one of my biggest problems - a total lack of motivation. I want to do this for me, and I don't want to ever let life situations hamper my goals. I'm just disappointed in myself that I let that happen. I want to really buckle down and be back and better than ever. If any of you are professional nutritionists, weight loss experts, etc... private message me. I really want my goals to be realistic. And I want to be honest. If you'd like, I would love for you guys to add me as a friend. I am always the kind of person who is a cheerleader for others, but have a hard time doing it for myself. If you want to know more about me, read my bio on my page, or shoot me an message in my inbox. I wish you the best of luck with your journey, and I hope to gain some friends and support now that I'm back on MFP. xoxo Jacklyn

Today is my first day back as well, feel free to add me and we can support each other. I'll warn you, I'm horrible at being self motivated, but I will be on here every day. :flowerforyou:

welcome back... this is my first step into getting back on the wagon myself, I've really struggled with the kids being at home on there summer break and family holidays. There always seem to be something in a few days that stops me from starting again... but I will so if you want to add me that would be cool... when I'm on the wagon I'm really good but when i come off I'm really bad... you would think I would learn... maybe I could help you when I'm on the ball and you could help me not to fall off? thanks ange

Hi Jacklyn. Your story sounds so much like mine. And today is my first day back, too. My downfall started last April with a knee injury. I let that injury sideline my motivation and drive - until today.

I'd really love to be friends with you. Maybe we could help each other stay on track!
