in Introduce Yourself
Hello MFP friends!

My name is Amy and today is the first day of the rest of my life! Okay, i know that sounds cheesy, but, really. I need to make a change and today is the day I start to be more aware of how I treat my body. I've got a long way to go, and it won't be easy, but with the support of this wonderful community, I know I will make it!

If you'd like to share some of your tips, tricks, motivations, or inspirations with me, I would love some positive vibes!

Thanks, and good luck!

Amy

    Welcome Amy.....and you're right ...today is the first day of the rest of your life. Always remember why you want to be healthier esp. in times of temptation (socials, parties, work lunches, beach days and bbq's) which occur quite often in my life anyway! Feel free to add me for support:smile:

    Eat at a moderate calorie deficit and exercise. Don't weigh yourself constantly. Don't let minor setbacks derail you.

    That's it. I wish you the best in achieving your fitness goals.

    Good Luck to you!! I just started back myself.

    I've found a few blogs that are good for healthy and inexpensive recipes - budget bytes and skinnytaste.

    Crockpot recipes have been great for me as far as making things easy, especially when I'm tired after a long day at the office and I don't want to cook :)

    Hi Amy- today is actually the 3rd day of the rest if my life ....lol I did a restart 3 days ago and so far so good:)
    Feel free to add me I'm OCD about logging and plan to start being active more since its summer break and my daughter has decided to elect herself as my fitness coach this summer.

    Keep in mind the saying, "A year from now you'll wish you had started today!" Well, congratulations...you have!

    I keep that and other inspirational sayings and pictures on the fridge (perfect spot, I'd say :laugh: ) that help me when I go on autopilot and head for a snack. It's stopped me in my tracks many times!

    Good luck, realize you'll have some days where you aren't as good as you want...but forgive and move on.
