in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone! I'm Michelle and I started using MyFitnessPal on and off through the summer and the beginning of fall, but now I really want to take responsibility for my fitness and work towards my goal. I have 30 pounds to lose and I'm hoping to meet this goal early next year! I would really love encouragement, as I am currently living abroad and sometimes it's difficult when you don't have family nearby to motivate you. I started my weight loss journey in July and lost 17 pounds so far, lets see what I can accomplish next! I would love to offer support to you all as well!

    I've been in a bit of a slump and your starting fresh caught my eye. That's totally what I need to do. I would love to get off another 30 pounds and am always looking for like minded friends to cheer on. Maybe we can start fresh together :-) feel free to add me to your friend list.

    Awesome welcome back !!!!!

    Its all one day at a time... it took most people a long time to get the way they are... but the rest is up to you !!!!!

    1 pound of fat is 3500 calories... feel like loosing faster and are motivated then get as negative as you can that day...

    Don't feel as motivated ??? Just know its going to slow your overall progress... I look at is as if I am paying for all the times I overate...

    Do I still sometimes overeat ?? Yup... but I personally set "do not exceed" weights... if I come close to that weight (for me its ten pound increments) then I IMMEDIATELY do what it takes to fix it...

    You can do it, and you can find many great friends online.... just remember when you are looking at overeating, is it really worth it ??? Then too remember, if you eat an extra 1000 calories, thats about 1/3 pound gained or not lost...

    You have lost 17 so far so you know how to do it... now you just have to keep doing it and make what you are doing that has worked part of your lifestyle...

    Keep up the good work !!!!!
