in Introduce Yourself
Well, no question I'm new to MFP, so hola everyone ;) First, I was lured into this page by my BF4L, she moved to FL some time ago which makes me sad but we're still very close at heart and talk all the time. I actually started going to the gym sometime last year, I was really stressed out and I thought working out was the best stress reliever...along with food. My muscles were getting better but I was horrible at dieting, I stopped going after I had a bunch of family moving to where I was at, work, more work, school, and a bunch of church activities, I keep wondering where would I be had I continued. I have been wanting to lose weight and for a little while I find my motivation on my own but then it goes away, my roommates kinda start trash talking, family doesn't really say much and my bf at that time just kept on saying I'm beautiful no matter what lol. But we got engaged last March, and of course I want to look my best next year at my wedding, he loves outdoors activities, I want to do that with him, I want to be done with this extra person with me, I want to do all the physical fun things my kids (nieces and nephews) want me to do! I do OK with support but once in a while I need a push, some words of encouragement and I LOVE to give it too! I hope to see some of that around here, so far I hear everyone is just absolutely great on here :)

    Hi All,

    Just joined...from another site that I've been using. This one seems more active...at least in chat. How bout fitness? Hope to talk to others who are in the zone and tracking. Are there challenges on this site?

    Tracking food and my activity on a daily basis works for me. I was never a tracker, but knowledge is power. How can I change what I don't even know? Now I'm addicted and it's a great tool.

    Daily weigh-ins we're awesome while the weight was coming off consistently. Now the iddy biddy ups and downs are frustrating..however, it pisses me off just enough to work harder.

    Down 49 lbs since Dec and stayed committed to working up a sweat 5-7/week and by sacrificing love of comfort food and grease for the food that fuels. It's tough! Over the months though, I don't crave as many of the things I used to. But I still live and totally believe in moderation because the journey is never over.

    Anyways cheers and hope everyone has a good sweat!
