Looking to build a support network . . .

in Introduce Yourself
On the advice of my FIRST MFP friend . . .

I've been wondering if having a network on here would help me stick to my plan of losing weight and getting in great shape and being healthy. I've had the MFP app on my phone for a while and have gone through streaks where I log my food and exercise every day for a week and then I miss one day, binge eat and don't post again for like 2 weeks. I would love a group of supporters to help keep myself accountable. Like I've read in other posts, if I know that people are going to see what I log I'll make better decisions.

The number on the scale is important to me, but what's even more important is how healthy/strong I feel. I want to be able to run a 5K in October and get back into my "skinny jeans". :smile:

My hound dog also needs to lose about 15% of his body weight so I like to look at it as a diet for the whole family!

I look forward to creating and participating in a supportive network!

    Same here, feel free to add....I'm def. up down and all around and I'd ideally like to STICK to it for a good while....The most I've lost at once was 50 lbs and re-gained EVERYTHING...oh my gosh I cannot tell you how disappointed I am in myself....I think that's why I've had such a hard time staying on track is because I feel entitled to that old weight lost and it hasn't really registered in my head that I need to re-lose the weight. I'd like support so please add. ;)

    Hey!

    I started exercising with my pup as well! He's now a healthy weight for his size and has lost 5 pounds through lots of hiking and being fed twice daily-portioned amounts. I spoke to my vet and he recommended the portions/feeding schedule!

    Currently, my healthy goal is to be fit - who care about the number!

    Feel free to add me!

    Add me too! I was the same way, had the app, didn't really take it too seriously... I want to build that support network, I believe it helps the most. Cheers to good health!
