in Introduce Yourself
Been on here since last summer, but haven't been as active lately. Still working hard at this, but need to re-motivate myself. My high school reunion is 10 weeks away and I need to push hard to hit my goal by then! Anyone else out there have something coming up they need to kick it into high gear for? Let's help motivate each other!

    Well I'm sure even with your hard work paying off already you will be stunning. Keep focused..stay true to logging..maybe even put up reminders to look at each day. You are welcome to add me as a friend. I always try to motivate as much as possible. Good luck! :)

    Sign me up! We had a family dinner this past week and a relative pointed out how I'd gained weight. I've got about 25 - 30 to either lose or firm up and have been in a holding pattern for longer than I'd like to admit. :)

    Summer's coming and I'd like to look sassy in a swimsuit. :)

    Count me in.

    Three reasons.
    1. I've been losing extra slowly and even teetering a little for a while now.
    2. I'm doing a 5K in July.
    3. I applied for the Biggest Loser and didn't get a call back and now I'm more determined to do this on my own.

    I'm setting my goal to one pound per week and I'm going to work out Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday in the coming week.
    I will not eat back any of my calories burned through exercise.

    I'm in! I really need help with being re-motivated! A few years ago I lost 30lbs and was feeling really happy with myself and confident. Then I got super stressed out in life and recently gained the weight back. I'm hoping to lose 30lbs by the end of August. :) I work in education as a sped aide at an elementary school, and I'm hoping to shock my co-workers at the beginning of the next school year with my progress.

    Just added you. Any one else wanting re-motivating is welcome to add me as well. I am so close to my first goal (185 lbs. which would take me out of the "obese" category and into the "overweight" one). But lately I've been slipping back in to my old ways, and the scale is reflecting that. I'm back up to 191. I would like to lose 10 pounds by July 4th.

    Please add me, too! I've been doing great on the motivation front, but am really worried that I will start to slide next week when my brother arrives for a six-week visit...he and I looooooooove to drink wine together. Danger! Danger! I really want to kick things into high gear during the summer because the weather is so much more conducive to taking long walks (no ice to slip on), and I don't want the fact that my brother is here and my trainer is on summer vacation to lead to a backslide. Let's all encourage each other to stay strong and focused!

    Yay, so glad I found some buddies! Here's what I've been doing that's semi-working :)

    I workout twice a week with a trainer (30 minutes each) and I go to a group power class twice a week (60 minutes each). I do really well on my food during the day, but I've been messing up at night. So, I need to really focus on my evening eating. I also want to start the c25k program soon. Oh, another stumbling block for me is friends wanting to get drinks after work on Friday. So hard to resist!

    I started in Feb 2012 and was doing great, then in Dec. we lost our 26 year old son and 2 months later, my dad, and 2 weeks after that, my closest cousin, and I have gained almost all of what I lost!! I MUST GET MOTIVATED.
    I have a cruise in Mid October too!
    Let's do this!

    I can relate to the night time thing, especially if I stay up late. I manage not to drink usually when I go out but I have a tendency to stay out super late when I go out and eating an extra meal. Not good, I know. I either eat something at the bar or everyone goes to Denny's after the bar closes. The only good thing is that I usually get up late the next day and don't eat much that day.

    Feel free to add me. I'm just starting to get back into the swing of taking care of myself with moving more and eating less.

    Honey your are preaching to the choir! I do great during the day, but come dinner time, I lose my mind. I just started MFP Thursday (I think), so I am looking to join with a group to lose, lose, lose. I am also scheduled to graduate Aug 2014 and I want to be slim and trim by then. I know it's a long way off, but I am building in "backsliding time" just in case.

    Count me in!

    I could use some re-motivation and happy to provide it as well. Back on MFP after about a month's break....doesn't take nearly that long for the bad habits to take hold again :grumble: Back at it....anyone here feel free to add me.

    Feel free to add me.....also anyone else who needs someone that's on MFP daily.

    I just started back on my journey after a 5 month vacation(not intentional). I still have 8lbs to go to get back down to my lowest. But I still have at least 26lbs to lose. I have a feeling I will want it to be more. But my next goal is to make it to 147lbs so it'll be a total 100lbs loss. So I can use all the motivation anyone can give me. :)

    I've spent a few weeks backsliding into old habits. Turns out logging, logging, logging is a key for me! I'm refocusing, and moving ahead. Want to do it together? I'll be your MFP friend!

    Anyone can add me too, if you like. I try to log in every day and will always welcome some extra motiviation and will share it too. I've just started using mfp again after a very long break, and I am realizing that weekends are going to be my challenge. This past one was bad, really bad, but between my birthday and mother's day there was cake and wine and other yummy things. Somehow I was still down 0.5 lb so it wasn't a total disaster but I can't do that every weekend!

    Night eating is the worst! I am new to this site, but not to loosing weight! Finding a hobby for night or even coming on here and reading stuff has helped keep me pre occupied. Now I am at the point where I don't care to night eat..but if I do I just eat like a couple of almonds or some mushrooms.

    I'll send request!

    Goodluck to you..and everyone else that's posted to this! feel free to add. I like to comment on daily goals to keep motivation up, I could use some too! :P hehe

    <3 Sara
