in Introduce Yourself
I had a very stressful year, full of pressure so I started to eat tons of junk food, chocolate, cakes, crisps and that stuff. So I gained on weight... now I feel bad, not sexy and even ugly and fat with comparison to my friends. Sometimes I don't want to go to the party or take the photos because I feel so uncomfortable with myself. So I decided to do something with my weight, now I want to exercise and eat much more healthier than before :) But my biggest problem is motivation... I've tried eating less and healthier and exercise but after 2 weeks I've lost my motivation, nobody encouraged me to do this still and I had no help. I found this site and I hope to find people that will keep me inspired and motivated. :)

    Let's be friends!
    Yesterday I came back to MFP after dropping out earlier this year; mainly because I wasn't getting enough support/
    encouragement from all of my friends here. I have 100+ pounds to lose so you can count me in to help you.
    I don't do pictures at all of myself, so I hear you loud & clear in that area too. MFP is the only place where I have a
    picture of myself posted; because I hate how I look in pictures.

    Feel free to add me. This site is a great tool to help you lose weight, I lost 20lb previously at a 1lb a week :) I took a break over the summer and gained 5 back, but O'h well!!! It'll be gone again soon :)

    Feel free to add me too! I've just started back today after dropping off over two years ago. I want to get rid of some pounds and would love to both motivate and be motivated to do so! It's good to find someone in a similar position. We can help to focus each other through. Good luck!

    Please send me a friend request! I've been doing MFP since Feb 2010 but have had a very stressful year (mom had cancer) and I too feel off the wagon, eating tons of junk & not exercising much since the end of May. For the last 8 weeks I've been having back/hip issues as well and am very sore most days but am at least out walking again and plan on getting back to the gym now.

    I've gained back 20 of the 50 lbs I lost but have recommitted as of Sept 1st so please anyone, feel free to send me a friend request and we can help each other get back on track!

    Good luck!! I have been living abroad for 2 years and it was tough and sometimes lonely and I didn't like my job so much and worked stupid hours so I did exactly the same and feel exactly the same.

    Feel free to add me and we can both work towards a better, healthier, happier, SEXIER year ahead :)
