So....June 24th will be 1 year that I have been on MFP. Within that year I have managed to balance and maintain, work, college, family and our home life. If you didn't notice...calories or portion control is NOT something I have been able to manage.

In 9 months I have lost a merely 20 lbs. My fiance is very supportive saying... at least I didn't GAIN anything. Which is nice for him to say...and he better...but I know I have been cheating myself and his kind words don't really do anything for me. Except remind me why I love him But as for me....I need to get back at it. Finding time to get in the gym seems so hard, but I know if/when I make it I feel GREAT for the rest of the day. I love to cook, and unfortunately love to eat, but I hate to grocery shop, especially for clean foods that require work. Anyone else have these problems!?!?!

Finding the time and motivation has been tough...but after realizing it has been ALMOST A YEAR and I am not anywhere near my goal...I have decided to work harder. I have 3 months till my MFPanniversary and I plan to lose 15-20 more lbs. thats right...double my total weight loss!! If anyone would like to add me for motivation and stalk my diary you are more than welcome too. Anything will help Even just knowing that someone else is the same boat as me would be nice. It seems that everyone on here is motivated and successful. I wish that would rub off on me
