    II started my new life just before Thanksgiving...If can make it through the holidays then I feel I will do just fine..(I lost 4 lbs thanksgiving week)...This holiday won't be so easy for me; so, I am planning what to eat as much in advance as possible...being more active...let it snow.I will start a snowball battle..for me, I must keep busy. good luck! starting a diet at Christmas is a great time..My Christmas is centered around food and family. Time to get out and walk when it get rough..

    hi,

    I've just joined MFP as I've heard loads of great stuff about it, so hoping it will give me the extra push and motivation needed... Starting the diet TODAY!!! So I'm already for a positive start to the new year without it being a real shock to the system!

    Anyone else starting or recently started a diet.... any tips would be great.... I've got about 2 stone to lose and hoping I can do it withing 3 months... :noway:
    I started just BEFORE Thanksgiving... of 2011.. by New Year's Day I had a 6-10 pound head start and was on maintenance by July. I recommend starting now whenever "now" is.

    Hello Everyone,

    I have just signed up for MFP and got the app today. I am looking to start my diet tomorrow morning, being that i have already been a bad girl today. I have lost almost a 90lbs last year, around the same time to be exact. However that was due to stressing and not eating right. But now that i am in a happier relationship and in a totally different space in life, I find it so hard not to indulge in the sweets and all the stuff that i didn't have a taste for last year. I had the motivation all summer and worked out hard 5 days a week and then i woke up and didn't want to work out and have been doing it sporadically ever since. I don't want to get any bigger! I need to seek motivation!

    I have been around MFP and WW for many years but have not been on a healthy eating lifestyle for quite some time. I have lost 40 pounds twice in the past 10 years, only to give up and gain it all back again. I am miserable. I have about 75 pounds to lose. I don't care how long it takes me I just want to get healthy. I think it is a good idea to start today. After reading all of the posts I am convinced. I was not sure and that is why this thread caught my eye. It has to be a lifestyle. It is true that there is always going to be a holiday, a birthday, a special occasion. I plan to start using my food journal no matter if I go over my calorie goal. I have to start somewhere. Today is the day.
