    Hi, i'd be glad to lend support. :) My Fitness Pal has made me aware of just how high in calories, fat and sugar most of my staple foods are, and it has helped me tremendously. I also have friends whom it has not helped so much. the number one difference: I record everything I eat. even on those days where | went crazy overboard. it's hard to do, and a pain sometimes, but worth it. whereas my friends only like to record when they've done well. they see an overboard day as a mistake they don't want to admit to. I see it as a learning experience. Plus I'm less likely to go overboard the next time, knowing I have to add every single thing. Quite often I'll turn something down just because I don't feel like adding it.

    Its difficult but got to stay focused on your goal, we all have off days but you can still turn it around. I have learned my lesson the hard way, if I have bad d:wink: ay I just accept it and move on, generally have more good days than bad. Good luck x :wink:

    thank you so much, !! xoxo i have been here before but failed and i think its because i cheated a lot like not actually completing food diary through feeling guilty about things i had and so i just let it go. Like i havnt added dinner or snacks for tonight because i know it will go way over my allowance but i will add it now and hopefully that will encourage me not to do the same thing tomorrow.

    You should log your food even if it puts you over your limit. It's for learning not for guilt. You can lose weight. YOU can do this. Write down your reasons for losing weight and put them where you can see them everyday. I try and give myself a manicure at night when an unplanned snack urge hits, hard to eat with wet fingernails. And don't compare your beginnings with someone's middle. I saw that quote on something and it stuck with me. I can't compare myself with anyone else's journey to good health, but I can learn from them and at the end of each day be happy with every little step forward I make no matter how small. Add me as friend if you want.

    You can add me if you want, the one thing I've learned from this is if I don't keep a diary I don't lose. And having people support you is a good motivator
