This time I need to do it, support required!

sarav58 · January 2013

Hi there

I have been on MFP on and off for the last 12 months but this time I want to make it work. I think the problem is that I have had no constant support and motivation to keep me going.

I've got quite a bit of weight to lose, I am hoping to try for IVF in the summer but have to lose at least 40lbs before this can happen. Everyone who knows this knows this is the only thing holding me back from the actual appointment and cant understand why I find it so difficult - neither do I to be be honest. So, although the first few weeks have had food 'blips' (I am an excessive cereal eater) they have on the whole been good but I need someone to help me put the spoon down and likewise I can offer this in return!

Those who are loosing weight for fertility issues would be more than welcome to friend me, I'm 5'8 and weigh 233 lbs so anyone with the same kind of goals would be great

Thanks for reading
xx

Hey! I need support as well. I have the drive but I need to know that someone else is out there that is doing it too and we can work on it together! I have a boyfriend who is supportive of whatever I wish to do but he does not want to completly change his eating habits with me, which means that there are temptations around every corner of our house that I need to contend with!

But I think you can do this! And I will be here to help and I think that as long as there is a team of us working together and sharing our stories we can all lose the weight we desire! Keep me posted on your progress!

:-) Today is day 1 for me so wish me luck, and Good Luck to you too!

You may be the other side of the globe and a lot younger than me but I can help support you if you would like. I am new to this site (day 11) and still finding my feet but have found it uplifting to see how everyone rallies round to encourage each other. I am doing this for weight loss and fitness so I know what you will be going through. Glad you have made the first step again and let it be the first of many in the right direction.
