Starting over and need new friends!

I've been back and forth on this site for 2 years. I never stuck with it because I always had something better to do. Unfortunately that "something better" wasn't losing weight but just procrastinating. Now I'm back and after doing some measurements and weighing myself, it's time to make a drastic change!

I also found out that a lot of my friends on here also gave up a while ago. Now I'm looking for new friends that will not only motivate me but also show me through there results that losing this stubborn weight is possible(:

    Glad you decided to give it another go. I am so excited that I have made it over a year using this site. I am only a few pounds off from my goal and it's been hard going, way harder than the beginning was. I don't have lots of result going on but I still get to the gym 3-4 days a week and stay within my calories. Feel free to add me to give/get motivation & support! Good Luck!!
  • You guys are awesome!

    Welcome back! I've been here in since January and it seems that the people who do stick around are ones who log in every day, participate with encouraging one another and on the message boards. You can do this!

    Feel free to add me.

    Hello! I am actually new to the Myfitnesspal site and app for my phone. I have been using it for about 2 weeks now, and also invested in the Body Media Link to track my caloric output. All in all I have lost about 2 pounds at some point. However, the last few times I got on a scale, i was back up a bit so it hasn't gotten recorded....I try to weigh the same time of day in the morning before I eat. I think the scale is just being evil ;). The Body media makes it nice since I am getting a really accurate idea of my caloric output, and even has motivated me to get extra steps in where I can. The hard part is the accurate food journaling, but I am being consistant, and using my best guess at times there isn't an exact food match. I am about 166 at 5ft. 1 inch and hope to get back to 125-130, so about 35/40 pounds to go.

    Good luck on your journey....if you keep to it you definately can do it! What is your goal?

    Same scenario here. I deleted my account because I just thought I was done for good and gave up. But I got it back and came back and lost the awesome friends I had. I got my main few back, but always looking to find some new ones.

    You can add me, if you'd like. I have dabbled with MFP in the past, but for the last month or so have been more serious about it and I really think it's helping me change my habits. I want to stick with them, though, so I had better get involved with the community!

    Welcome back and feel free to add me, too! I've been on for a while, but was side-tracked by life. I'm back at it again and I am determined to make real progress this time! I believe you can never have too much help in the motivation area! :)

    Welcome Back!! I have been up and down for years. I have finally decided that I am going to do this!!! I have lost 18 lbs. since Jan. 6th. I know that you can do it too and would love to be one of your friends. :happy:
  • I use to weigh 112 before my daughter. Right now I'm 158 <--YIKES! I'm not planning on getting all the way back down to my pre-baby weight but I at least want to be toned up and in the 120's where I belong with my height!
