Anybody need support and encouragement?

I would love to have more friends that are on here consistently and looking for encouragement. @Smokey, I went in and did a friend request and then hit the back button. Hopefully it went through. :P

Anyone else feel free to add me as well.

I found MFP in June and was doing really good. Then I fell off the wagon, I think I am back on track now but how do you avoid falling off the wagon, It is so easy, I hate the upcoming holidays cause it always provides me with the excuses to eat. I know they are all bad excuses but Im trying to be honest. I to have a lot of health issues . Including 3 blood clots in my lungs. You would think I had learned my lesson , but I didn';t

I'm going to Friend Request you too! I did well last year, lost 34 lbs, then in January my hubby got sick and spent 2 weeks in hospital (he's fine now), and when he came home I got hit with a case of sciatica for 3 weeks, so really got out of the habit of both eating healthy/logging as well as exercise. So...guess what, I gained it all back! I have found a couple of challenges that sounded good, but I just am not getting it together to really get/stay motivated. And yet I really want this! I do have friends who have encouraged me, (and when I am on fire I love to encourage others as well lol) but I have been so inconsistent so many of them do drop off after a while, I can't blame them.

I knowe we're heading into the CHristmas season so I would really appreciate encouragement to stay on the straight and narrow. Thanks! :flowerforyou:

Added. I think accountability and friendship are two of the most powerful factors in weight loss. Anyone else can add me also, if they are serious about taking charge of their health again like me.
