New to My Fitness Pal

dzoucha · May 2013

Hi! I am just getting started on My Fitness Pal. Have been doing another weight loss program for over two years. Had some initial success losing 45 pounds, but have stalled out the last year at around 38 pounds off. Have gotten under 200 pounds a few times but seem to always gain back to the 202-206 pound range. I really need some motivation and also need the clean eating way!

Welcome!

You'll find some awesome support here

I really didn't do the social aspect of it when I first joined but just recently came back about 2 months ago and all my friends on here have been wonderful and supportive and help push me.

I'm great with motivation! As for clean eating, you'll see I pretty much eat whatever I want, but do so in moderation. No more 5 slices of pizza for me in one sitting!

My Starting weight (2010) - 167
Current weight - 131.8
Goal weight - 120-125

I'm on here because of medical reasons - I have FMS (Fibromyalgia) and so many people gain weight because they stop exercising because of the pain. I work through it and exercise lightly, but just because I have a diagnosis doesn't mean I let it define me. I can still be healthy!

Feel free to add me, I log daily and am on here a lot to check up on friends and check my messages. And if it's a bad day I still log every bite and every calorie lost, even if I'm way over on calories. We only learn by getting through it, not cheating ourselves in lying in our diaries

Feel free to add me. I became active using MFP about 14 months ago but didn't really start to get involved in the community until a couple weeks ago. I've had great success so far using this site! I'm here to get in better shape, look better, feel better, get off all my medications and stick around for a long, long time.

My name is Becky and I'm 35 and here so hopefully I can lose some weight for 2 weddings coming up in the next year. Looking better and feeling better would be great! I also have a disability called Spina Bifida that makes it extra challenging to stay in shape. Some motivation and exercise tips would be appreciated! Thanks!
