Back to MFP...looking for support!

in Introduce Yourself
Hello all,
I had a lot of luck in the short time I used MFP back about 6 months ago. Lost 9 pounds fairly easily, but can't for the life of me remember why I stopped tracking. But here I am to give it another go! (Especially since the initial weight loss is now gone...)

So, while being fit and trim would be AWESOME, I'm looking to just have more energy, be healthier, and avoid the weight-related health problems that affected other women in my family as they get older. Need to lose about 60-70 lbs. to get in a healthy BMI range.

Would love to connect with others to help each other stay on track!

    Feel free to add me as a friend; I do know what its like. This time around I am only trying to lose a little bit of weight I gained after a big upheaval in my life last year. But I had lost 35 lbs (5 pant sizes) in 6 months (healthy) and kept it off for 4 years. It motivates me to motivate others and keeps me on track when I know others are "looking" at my journal (yes my journal is open to friends for that exact purpose). If you know what I'm eating (and if I bite it, I write it)...then I'm more apt to stay ON PLAN! :)

    Trying to find motivating friends on here myself. I'm at stay at home mom of a toddler and infant which makes it sometimes a challenge to have a set work out plan. My goal is to continue Insanity 5 days a week, stick to the diet and loose this weight.
    Please feel free to add me as well.

    you can add me as well if you like. I too had initial success with MFP right before my wedding (which was almost one year ago) and then after a few set backs (lost my job, trying to go back to school, etc) I fell off the wagon. I didn't gain all of my weight back, but some of it and now I am trying to get back into the swing of things again! Good Luck!

    I am back as well. Lost 30 pounds from 3/20 to 6/20, then basically took the summer off--so hard to track with being out all the time and not having full control of what's around. Good news is, I only gained back a few pounds! Looking forward to getting my schedule back on track and doing regular tracking of my food!

    I just sent you a friend request. My story is very similar to yours. I think the support you receive makes all the difference. This time around I'm adding as many friends as possible. I need all the motivation I can get!

    Anyone can feel free to add me.

    I have been off and on MFP. Was doing really well and felt great until a few weeks ago when I took my son to Florida for a week's vacation. When I got back I lost motivation, telling myself I'll start Monday and well today is Monday and I am ready to get back into a routine!! Would love the motivation, encouragement and support of other MFP users and give it back to you as well!!

    You sound like me just today. My daughter and I joined about 9 months ago and did really well the first few months, then slacked off. I know that tracking helps me so much and also walking everyday with my neighbor. Otherwise I would have put on all of what I lost this year...(12 lbs..., put on 3 or 4 back on) but pretty happy with that, since my whole life has been a weight battle. Anyway, my daughter and I talked about it this weekend and resolved to start tracking again and just concentrate on losing 10 lbs. Thats about all she has to lose, while I probably have more like 40 lbs to lose. So if you need to vent to me I am most understanding and will help you any way I can...

    It's hard to stay focused I find, but I really need to get back on track so that I can feel better about myself and have more energy.
    I am exhausted all the time and this makes me feel even more down...

    I too have been on here for awhile but I just used the tracking feature. Thought I could go it alone, but now I am wanting friends on here for support. As I read others posts I realize that we all have common struggles, I am not the only one that has difficulties trying to reach a healthy lifestyle. I will send you a friend request and offer support and encouragement, and anyone else who reads this and would like to add me, please feel free.

    Well my daughter and I are back at it again. It has been 3 or more months for me and I wasn't consistent then, but the good news is that I have not gained any weight since then. I do walking everyday and started aquanautics, which I love. Eating the right things as usual is a problem for me. As I have gotten older, I seem to crave sweet things. Not good for a diabetic. Anyways, my daughter started tracking a few days ago, so she shamed me into tracking again. I know it works, because it makes you accountable for what you put in your mouth and will make you think twice before eating something not planned. Well here's to good tracking!!!
