Hi All,

This isn't my first time using MFP. Actually I used it a little over a year ago and lost almost 30lb. However work, vacations, and life got in the way and I just stopped tracking. This was to my detriment. Not only did I gain all that I lost back but an additional 10ls on top of that! I know I can do it. I've done it before. I hope to "meet" some new friends who will help me though the processes (and I'll help urge you on as well!)

So Hi Everyone! And if someone needs or is willing to take on a new MFP friend go ahead and add me! :)

    Hi Millie!!

    I am in the same boat as you are - I used MyfitnessPal a little over a year ago and lost about 30 lbs. I was feeling really great and decided I needed a "break" when life got in the way. Well, life never stopped getting in the way and I gained back about 17 lbs. I am coming back to MFP to get back on the wagon and stop jumping off!!

    I have always worked in the restaurant industry on my feet all day and I just recently got a new position at a desk job that I'm really excited about with benefits, etc.. problem is I'm not used to sitting all day and I want to take control of my portions and food before I gain ALOT of weight due to sitting all day.

    SO - I would love to friend you and support each other on our very similar journeys. :)

    Not a piece of cake, mmmm Cake (cue Homer Simpson drool), just need to get back into the habit of do what I know I need to do. Take care of me first and everyone else second. It pays to be a little bit selfish in this regard. Just tracking the last three weeks has helped me make better choices (well not the last two days but I've been under calorie count!) and I've lost 7.5lbs...

    Yes, I have realised recently, that you stop logging and you take your eye off the ball. I think it has to be something that is monitored forever as it's all too easy to overeat and before you know it you have regained your losses. Been there myself several times. Logging everyday is the key in my opinion.

    Agreed! It also seems to help me to interact with others on my friends list and on the site.. gives an extra reason to log on everyday!!

    You sound just like me at the end of 2011 I lost almost 30lbs then life's problems struck and I got depressed and turned to comfort eating again and in 5 months regained all I had lost and another 10lbs.....I have just managed to lose that extra 10 lbs now and so still have 28lbs to lose......loss is very very slow now. I'm not an exercise person and work long hours at a desk so don't even have time to walk...the most I can. Fit in is a 20 min walk some days ...weather permitting...thunderstorms don't help!!, but my mantra is slow and steady....I will be 50 early next year and want to be at by goal by then. Good luck with your plan
