New & Need Friends

I just added you!!

I feel your pain on the picky eater and yo-yp dieting both. Until I went vegetarian a few years ago, my diet was very limited (I had to get over it when I gave up meat). As for the yo-yo-ing, I have been fat my whole life. I managed to bring my weight down from 250 lbs to 185 lbs by some very unhealthy means, then promptly gained it all back (with interest) when I went off of the crash diet. A year ago, I was back up to 285 lbs. I've spent the last year being very careful about what I eat, and I lost 90 lbs so far and haven't gone back, so the yo-yo string can be cut. MFP is definitely a helpful tool. Eating right is around 80% of losing weight, so if you can keep that up, you'll get there. 25 kg in 8 months is very doable. Good luck. Feel free to add me if you like.

Hi you guys! This place is awesome! I've lost 10.5lbs already because I wanted a better me. I did it for myself. I allow cheat days but the key is to log everything. Don't be ashamed or embarrassed by how much you ate or what you ate. I was at Mardi Gras last wknd and I had alcohol and funnel cake on a stick! On a stick!! But I logged it and I was mindful on how much I ate and believe it or not I was under! Just be honest with yourself and you'll see results. Always stay moving too! Congrats on the wedding!!

Welcome Sara! And congrats on your upcoming wedding! I, too, am a yo-yo dieter, I'm 43 and a mom of two, and have been overweight since 7th grade! My teenage son is also overweight and asked me if we could do something together, so we're helping each other out, but I could really use some online support buddies! I joined in May 2012, but just started this past Monday. Good luck to us all!!!

Hiya, welcome to the site and congrats on your upcoming wedding. Sent you a friend request and I'll try my best to help you out on your weight loss journey.

Hello! Congrats on your upcoming wedding! I have been married almost 3 years and have two children. My son is 2 and my daughter is 10 months. I'm also a very bad yo-yo dieter however it never has been successful for me at all. I have used MFP previously but fell off the wagon. I recently started back this year because I want to be able to lose my baby weight and then some. Please feel free to add me and anyone else as well. I strong support team is one of the biggest aspects of getting to your goals.

It's great to hear that you have a workout plan because for me that was the biggest road block I had. My old job I did not have time to workout on lunch or during the day and by the time I got home I had two kids to take care of and a house to clean up. I'm my current job though I've been a decision to walk 30 minutes every day since my employer has trails throughout our campus. You don't have to change your diet drastically for me it's all about portion sizes and not eating out as much.

Feel free to chat if you need!

Good luck and again congrats!! :happy:

Hi all,
I'm coming up on 30 days soon-I'm a twice WW life-timer-that didn't step on the scales as often as I should have-am secretly obsessed with this site!!!!!!!!-It is keeping me from my typical night-time munching-cause I'm on my laptop checking on all my new MFP friends here-the support is terrific, even when you sometimes don't like what they say??????????
add me if you need support ))))))))))))))

Hello! I've been around awhile, but just now getting going. Got my kick in the pants today when the doctor scale showed me only 20lbs down from the day I gave birth....2 1/2 years ago! Which means I've gained almost 20 back after losing it. Sigh. Looking forward to following everyone's successes!!
