I am new to this site, but not new to the struggle. I believe that we should keep the promises that we make to ourselves. If I tell someone that I will do something, I do all I can to accomplish it, but when I promise myself something, I find that I do not always feel as obligated to keep the promise.

    I'm trying to do the same thing, keep a promise to myself. :) Welcome to MFP, glad to have you!

    Hello there.

    I'm not new to MFP, but I'm coming back after a harmful hiatus! lol. I developed good habits, but they fell by the wayside when I started fertility drugs and IVF. Now that I've gained twenty pounds back, it's time to GET SERIOUS. I'll help you if you help me! :)

    Good luck and God bless.

    If you're good to yourself you'll start to keep those promises...you're worth it.

    am new to this. am so glad that i have found someplace that i can go to and keep track of my calorie intake and it be free and without having to buy special foods. ive struggled with my weight my whole adult life. im not the most active person due to my life being so hectic. i have a handicapped son who takes alot of my time so i generally grab whatever is available to me to eat. sometimes i dont eat at all. either i forget to eat or i dont feel hungry.
    i am about to graduate college in the criminal justice field. i want to help teens. im married. my dh needs to do this. he starts diets and doesnt stick to them. his downfall is eating junk food or he goes back for seconds. im luck to even finish whats on my plate let along want to eat chips and junk food all the time. i am very active in my church. i sing in the choir and love to be involved with the children.
    would be nice to get the encouragement from my husband on this. my goal is to hit 128lbs. i have about 140 to lose. i am so insecure about myself and my looks because of my weight. i am always wearing clothes that are to big on me because i dont like anything snug. or that clings to me. makes me feel uncomfortable. am very socialable. love to meet new people and make new friends. i look forward to getting to know some of you. maybe all of you.

    Hi.. I am on day 3 of being a member of this board. I was introduced by my sister and I absolutely love it and am shocked on how many calories I was really eating before I started keeping track.. It amazes me.. Well Hi everyone :)
