in Introduce Yourself
I've had the fitness pal app for a while, but I've never really added friends or posted anything, but I feel like doing this will finally motivate me to lose weight. I'm ready to change myself physically and emotionally, I'm sick of hating myself and letting it get to me and make me depressed. I'm tired of having anxiety every morning when I'm about to weigh myself because I know I binged the night before. I'm tired of crying over being fat and never being happy and dragging everyone else down. This is it I feel it, and i really need help and support so I don't go back to my old ways. Thanks guys

    I'll add you as a friend! I'm about the same age as you and feel the same way about myself. I just want to be able to be happy with my weight. I have a problem stress eating and am currently trying to get rid of ten pounds that was added over the past six months. And then I will try to lose five more pounds so I can feel happy about my weight. MFP has been a big help to me for a long time and this time I actually want to stay at my goal weight instead of go back because of my eating habits.

    I feel like I could have written this exact post. I completely understand where you are coming from. I've lost 20 lbs with WW, and gained about 5 lbs back. I started MFP today, so today is my Day 1. I'll add you as a friend. :flowerforyou:

    Hi, FMR! I've been carrying around a 30lb dumbbell all day to remind myself of how much this 30 lbs of fat I have to lose weighs. Thing is seriously heavy and a good reminder of the self-abuse. Smile. You can do this.

    I feel like I gain the weight back and start all over all the time! It's so frustrating, but not anymore. And congratulations, you've still lost 15 pounds! :)

    Hi new pal! So glad you are reaching out. Makes me giddy - because I too - have found such success and a change in character since I've finally gotten active on MFP. I'm excited that you will too! :)

    I've had a MFP account for probably a good 5 years - but haven't even bothered with it til this month - because my office has started exploring a wellness 2013 program and said we could be on mfp website while on the clock.

    In the 1st week - I lost 4lbs. (wed will be my 2nd weigh in - and for a change I am looking forward to it)

    Explore the message groups - get involved, throw your two cents in - sense of humor makes you sparkle doll

    add me if you'd like to chat. i'm free anytime. (and 3 days a week 'im free 14 hours a day - as that's my work schedule haha)
