Renewed Determination for 2013

Hi, my name is Brenda, and while I joined this site in 2011, I only logged on maybe 3 times before some friends reminded me of this site. So, on New Year's Day, I rejoined the site and am determined to make this work this time around. And I'd love to have the encouragement to do just that!

    Hello, all. I lost 28lbs with MFP from early in 2012, then quit using the ap and logging the calories and GUESS WHAT? Well, I'm back and determined to be accountable the entire year of 2013. I'd love support and community here, so please feel free to add me.
    Best of luck to everyone and Happy New Year!

    Welcome back! I was on the site in 2011 and lost almost 30 pounds, then I got pregnant and stopped keeping track of things....now I'm only 2 pounds from where I began with a 4 month old son, and I'm really buckling down and focusing for 2013. If you want, you can add me as a friend. 2013 will rock!

    Add me too, please. I could use a lot of motivation. I re-started my journey this morning. My plan is to exercise in some form, at least 5 days a week and eat healthy. Also, I hope not to put off, lie or let myself down anymore.

    Anyone feel free to add me too. I started strong at the end of last summer and in late fall my home computer broke and I was unable to participate as much in the social aspect of MFP, which left me feeling that I was not as accountable (no more of that!). Now have a new computer and renewed determination too. Very excited to get back on track!
  • Congratulations on making a step in the right direction! Please add me. I just recently came back to fitness pal due to a friends urging...i know i can use the motivation too :)

    Please add me too! I am like many of you, taking another run at it. Hopefully, it works this time. The plan for me is exercise 5 times a week, drink lots of water and write down every morsel the enters my mouth. Good luck everyone!
  • Hello, my name is Wendy and I have been using this site for two weeks thus far and love it. This is the first time I have checked out the community page. I am really looking forward to networking with people so that we can motivate one another to reach our goals of health. Nice "meeting" you!
  • Right there with ya. I have started and stopped so many times but I need to do this. New year time to get it right this time even joined Planet Fitness. I will keep you on track if you keep me on track!!

    Hi Brenda - off to a rocky start but I know that if I have to write it down, I'm more likely to watch it closer. Let's do this!! :)

    Just started this site per the advise of my primary doctor to help watch my intake and shed some pounds to get me off meds. I lost 20pd in 2012 with bootcamp but during the fall and little activity they found their way right back. Hoping logging and encouragement will help me stick to it. I'm a true repeat offender. I'll drop 20 to 30 then gain it back. I'd like to drop it and keep it gone this time around. Hitting the BIG 40 this year and I know it only gets harder after that.

    Hello, my name is Mike. I have been a member of MFP since December 2011.

    After about a year of MFP, I was down 66lbs. I ended up with a hernia from a previous surgery, so I had to give up the gym for awhile. I had my hernia surgery on Dec 14th and recovery is driving me up the wall. I have gained 6lbs from November 2012 to now.

    I plan to have a renewed effort to drop down to my 1st goal weight in 2013. I hope to be back to working out towards the end of January.

    I am always looking for new MFP friends to share the journey with.
