in Introduce Yourself
I joined MFP in October of last year but did not get serious about losing weight until recently. I have been losing and gaining the same 5 pounds for months now and I'm getting frustrated with myself. I love sweets & find it VERY hard to resist them. I live in the DFW, TX area with a crazy schedule and bad traffic (of course) so I spend a lot of time in the car. :-) It's hard for me to lose weight and stay motivated when my friends and family eat (and cook) whatever they want then fuss at me when I eat it too. Looking for new friends to help with this bump in the road I have hit.

    I am starting over. Last January I tried this and didn't last long. I know it is because I am just plain lazy and didn't take the time for myself. I am ready to change, especially since I have gained 15 pounds since then! I have 50 pounds to go to my goal! This was my pre-baby weight and my youngest is 8 1/2! Ready to feel alive again! I will try to figure out how to add!

    Hi I love sweets, so know they are hard to resist. Currently I just feel really motivated and just know I can't have them, I even have them in the house for the kids but resist. I do however have one treat which is after dinner I have a couple of squares of very dark chocolate, it is so rich you don't need any more.
    Feel free to add me!
