Attempting To Maintain Focus

in Introduce Yourself
Hi all! I’m not technically new, considering I’ve been here before and have had this particular account for a year. BUT I had forgotten about it, in lieu of moving, moving back, and the various ups and downs that led me to lose focus. I feel like now is the most ideal time for me to get back in the frame of mind where my health is my highest priority.

I work from home and I’ve run out of excuses when it comes to the reasons why I shouldn’t lose the weight, get in shape, and live a happier lifestyle than the one I’m living now.

With that said, I’d love some like-minded friends from allover the world to share in this with me. While my fiance’ and family are supportive, they’re also enabling, and it’s when I lack a kick in the *kitten* that I lose willpower to resist the cakes, cookies, and all manner of yummies. Kick me in the *kitten* (in the most supportive way)! :D And I’ll do the same for you.

STATS:

HW - 299.4
CW - 295.2
1st "ultimate" GW - 197

Height - Between 5'1' and 5'2' =)

    You got it! Feel free to friend me.....my family is VERY supportive, but they also tend to bring in sweets, like donuts and brownies. Ugh!! So, I will kick you in the butt if you do the same for me.

    I can so relate! Feel free to add me. I have the same problem trying to resist all the temptations that people bring around, and could DEFINITELY use the kick in the butt to help me resist (I'll do the same for you!)

    You (and anyone else) can definitely add me! It's really tough avoiding temptations like that, especially when you aren't the only one buying food for the house. It'd be great to have someone else to share this stuff with!

    Feel free to add me! I've got a long way to go towards my goal, and anyone that's willing to support and push me is a welcome friend. I'll do the same for you :)

    Feel free to add me !!!! I have a ways to go to meet my goal but I am taking it day by day. I log on MFP daily and love to give encouraging words and welcome new friends. Anyone else on here can add me as well.

    I can completely relate! I usually am able to kick myself in the *kitten* at first and then I lose steam. My loved ones are also enablers at times and it's soooo hard to resist what my mind tells me are yummy treats! Especially when I'm feeling tired or upset. Feel free to add me and we can trade kicks in the *kitten*!

    You can add me too. I am looking for friends who I can support and motivate because I know what it is like to be losing weight with people around you who are not "dieting". I was the chubby one of my bunch and learned most of this through trial and error. Great job making up your mind to do this and lose the weight and best wishes!
