I could also use someone to keep me motivated. I have over 100lbs to lose and this last year has been horrible. I lost my mother and ate everything in sight, gaining an additional 20lbs. I'm 410

Thank you for responding!! I lost my dad to last year and it seems as if I have fallen into the same pattern of emotional eating. I want to add as many people as possible to help me get over this thing and defeat it. I am not sure how to make a public post since I am new here!! LOL!! I hope that you are successful and that your heart heals... @my3apsons0

First of all, congratulations on making the commitment to change yourself! It is a VERY hard road, but well worth it in the end!
The biggest help for me has been to limit my carbs to breakfast and lunch ONLY, cook at home (no take out except MAYBE once a week), and don't beat yourself up if you "mess up". We are all human and everyone caves. Take it day by day. I log in to this site every morning and plan my meals out for the day so I can make sure I don't go over calories. Then I work out and put in my exercise before I got to sleep. Why? Because I am afraid that if I put in my exercise during the day, I will say something to myself like "I have 500 extra calories I haven't used. ICE CREAM!" or something to that effect. This has proven to be very helpful to me.
Good luck!0 -

Hi, I have been logging on for about 15 days now. I decided it was time for me to quit messing around and get active again. I hope to see myself get down to 180 lbs to start with. I know I started out at 248. The only day I have really planned out my food choices was the day last week when I went to the movies. I got to have my popcorn.0

That's good advice, I can see myself doing just that. I have been writing my food down first thing in the morning. If I have to add or change that's ok but at least I want to give myself some guideline for the day.0 -
I'll add you. My friends list is dead and I'm tired of talking to myself.0

You know it's crazy- but I often get depressed about my weight and body image. I've been doing this on and off for two years now. But I woke up a few days ago and realized I've lost 40 lbs and saw that there are loads of great people having done far more. Seeing that it's possible is really great motivator to me. Stay patient and just keep trying.0

You can add me. I can use the motivation to, I've been dealing with a lot of stress lately and my healthy lifestyle has taken a backseat. Good luck.0

You've come to the right place! I've lost 84lb and turned my life around completely from where it was heading. MFP is a part of my life now and I'm here every single day and never get tired of logging. I'm no longer trying to lose weight but am more than happy to support anybody that needs it. All the best. You can do this!!
