in Motivation and Support
I have just passed a year on MFP, and have lost 75 pounds up till Thanksgiving. Since then I have been tottering at the same weight, up and down 5 pounds. Sounds like a decent maintenance plan, but I still have 30 ish pounds to go, I have reset my counter and am ready to restart and reboot. However, over the past year most my friends have faded away, and I would love some new ones to give and receive support.

    I am very proud of you!! I have been maintaining for about 9 months and find this whole experience very eye opening. At first, friends were surprised. They expected failure. Then they were happy (at least they said that to me) but then it is like they are jealous. Even my mom pissed me off when she keeps telling me I am too thin. I would like to lose the last 5 lbs just to be sure I keep below my target weight. Maintaining is harder than losing for me as I used to say no to everything and now I know this is for life and I should be able to have a glass of wine or a piece of cheese but for me, it turns into a binge!!!

    One thing I just read here on MFP that re-motivated me was to think back as to what finally clicked this time that made you lose weight. I thought back and mine was to show my friends who kept bragging about these stupid 30-day cleanses, expensive shakes, drinks etc like Advocare that I could lose weight with exercise and eating right. I did it!!!

    Think back to your original motivation. Be proud of yourself.
