in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone. This is a new to me - not the dieting, or any of the ideas behind it. For me what's new is the fact that I'm trying to get involved with a community. I've tried so many times to lose weight, but it's been a struggle. I know it all comes down to me and my actions in the end, but I don't have much support. Any friends I do have are either thin naturally, or follow unhealthy diets. I need a support system that encourages me, and will actually say NO don't eat that! I guess what I'm saying is, I need accountability! Can anyone help me on this journey? I will try to be helpful and supportive to you too! I'm tired of being overweight, feeling lethargic, and being unhealthy. (Whine whine whine, lol)

    I'll help in any way I can - send a freind request. I too have struggled with losing weight until I joined MFP (over a year ago). It has been instrumental in helping me lose almost 30 pounds (there have been times I've fallen off course but I am still here).

    hahaha (whine whine whine) i totally understand. You sound just like i do. you have to really really put yourself into this if you want to make an impact on yourself. ( i've barely understoof this) i think that feeling is a different feeling and a different feeling of resolve for everyone. Its everyone's goal to lose weight (keep it off) and be healthy. I used to only log when i was "trying to lose weight" so that basically meant i never logged my wingstop or meals at Chili;s hahaha. but ive finally understood the importance of logging EVERY bit that enters your mouth (ok probably not EVERY bite, but if it can coundt as a snack then yes it gets logged)

    I'm noticing that too. Also, I really didn't realize how many calories I was consuming. You think a bowl of cereal is just fine, then realize you just had 2 or 3 portions of cereal! Amazing how a "light food" like that is so many calories.

    We all need support, sometimes someone to nag you and tell you what you don't want to hear so that you will do it. I think you are in the right place and you really can achieve all you want if you want to. Add me if you would like!

    Happy to encourage and support. Just send me a friend request. I'm much in the same boat as you. Have you looked at any of the HCG vlogs on YouTube? It helps to view them and you can also communicate with whomever made them. :smile:

    PLEASE stop trying to encourage people to follow any "diet" that borders on an eating disorder! Eating 500-800 calories a day is bad for you - and the HCG topic is forbidden on this board as it is considered unhealthy and dangerous!

    Rachelle, My name is Danielle. You are more than welcome to add me. I used to "diet" all the time and just kept giving up. I joined MFP and I realize that the word diet is bad. I understand we are all here for different reason but the end result is we need to be healthier and make life changing decisions. So instead of looking at what you are doing as a diet look at it as getting healthy. I have notice since I started looking at it that way things have changed. I like to eat and work out. I love seeing the results. So instead of saying I am on a diet tell yourself you want to become healthy. Go ahead and eat whatever you want but make sure you log it and make sure you can eat what you need to stay within your calorie intake.

    I look forward to hearing from you.
    ~Danielle
