Hi there my name is Amanda Lee and I am finally ready to show some of my progress in my weight loss journey!

This is one of the hardest things I have ever done. I never thought I would have so many ups and down when it came to my weight loss journey. I am learning so many things about myself, yet I continue to confuse myself on a daily basis.

Some days I am incredibly proud of how far I've come and then the next day I feel like I haven't changed at all. It's crazy how your mind can play tricks on you like that.

I still struggle every week with emotional eating and learning how to deal with my feelings in different ways. I still have a long way to go, but I know I am making progress.

I may not be progressing as fast as I would like, and I have had more setbacks than I expected, but I remind myself that I am still making progress. Small progress is better than no progress at all.

Please feel free to add me. I love giving support and encouragement to others just as much as I love receiving it. I know the support on MFP has been an incredible blessing for me on this journey!

I just wanted everyone out there to know that if I can do this, YOU can do this too. I still have a long way to go but I am never giving up on myself! :)

    WOW, you ARE stunning!! You have every right to be proud of yourself!!

    Having been down that track SO many times, I can understand only to well the struggle and mind games that continue to haunt the self! My mental block was 104 kg but now it's 100kg. I still have another 17 kgs to go (not sure of the lb value as I am an Aussie) HOWEVER, this is it! Now that I have met MFP, I intend to finish what I started!

    Amanda, please continue what you are doing now and go forth!!

    All the best!!

    Anne :happy:

    Thank you momma3times!! :) I basically just started cleaning up my diet and logging EVERYTHING I ate! I also made an effort to try at least two new foods a week so that I don't get bored with meal planning! I am on a constant roller coaster ride, so sometimes I have really awesome weeks and then others not so much. But no matter what, I keep picking myself back up and refuse to give up. I also joined a gym that I really enjoy going to but I haven't been going lately. (Something I intend on changing this coming week!). I also watched the documentary Hungry For a Change and it really changed my view on nutrition and how I want to be healthy! :)
