in Introduce Yourself
Hey I was on this site about a year ago then ended up quitting my diet :cry: but I am back and ready for a change! It would be nice to have some motivators to help me keep going. I have already lost 7lbs before I rejoined this site so I am already excited and pumped :bigsmile: ! It is hard for me to stay motivated because of my life right now and no one I know really helps me out. I get excited and tell them I lost 7lbs and then I get made fun of because they think I am making it up or blow me off. So I need to find some motives elsewhere. Anyways, it would be nice to have some motivators and supporters to keep me going and I will try and do the same. :wink:

    Hi, welcome back. You will find plenty of positive support here. Well done for the 7lbs. Mostly people can't see the difference until you have lost quite a lot of weight (depending on what size you started out). I wish you success now you've got back on track

    Thank you so much! I am hoping to see good things here. The 1st thing I did was remove sugary things/sweet out of my diet and made my portions smaller, next thing you know I lost 7lbs. It fells so good to see the scale going down! Yea I saw the difference right away but I understand why people don't see it right away. I already feel really welcome here! And congrats on the 17lb loss!

    I lost my 30 pounds and no one at work said a thing. My family is supportive and thinks i look way better i hope after I lose the next 30 people will notice. I feel way better and that is what truly counts.

    I find that sugar makes me really hungry. I think it's good that you gave up the sugar. Great job on your weight loss!!

    I think your first sentence says a lot! It will go much better in the long run if you look at your weight loss as a life style change instead of a diet. Diet are just bandaids and usually hard to maintain. Just try to be patient, the weight will come off! I found small changes made a HUGE difference for me! :smile:

    Once you start cooking awesome meals at home it'll be a lot easier.

    There are some recipes I wish I knew earlier -_-
