Hi, I'm another newbie. I've been on about MFP about a week and am happy that I've lost 2lbs thus far.
My short term goal is 5-8 more lbs by my vacation in mid-August. My long-term goal is the 25 lbs I've slowly put on over the last 8 years.
My biggest challenge is consistency. I get all gung-ho about a new diet or project and go all out for about 2 weeks, then lose interest and motivation if it is not working fast enough. I am trying to phrase this as a lifestyle change and not another get thin quick scheme.
Thank you all in advance for your support and for sharing your experiences on your journey.
