in Introduce Yourself
Good morning. I'm 47 and of course overweight or else why would I be here. Anyway, I've been on this journey for a little less than a month and feel like I have good motivation but there are days where words of encouragement may be the only thing to keep me going. There are so many positive people out there and I would love to have more mentors. I know you all have been through this and your thoughts and words of wisdom would be appreciated.

    I just turned 50 in December! I have been on myfitnesspal in the past and it does work. I just fail to stick with it. I can't seem to stay motivated. I am on a roller coaster. I started entrying my meals today. I am not ready to weigh myself again. The last time I was on myfitnesspal was about a month ago. Does anyone have good ideas how to stay motivated!

    My motivation was my 5 year old 'working out' to Just Dance 3 because she didn't want to get a 'big tummy'. And i think it just clicks when the time is right. I've never been one to stick to anything but something seems different about this. Granted I'm only on day 25 but I'm down 10 and haved logged in several times a day and haven't gone over my caloric goal yet.
