New to the Site

Hey everyone. My name is Erika, and I'm on here for some motivation to finish losing the weight that I need to lose. I lost 80 pounds, then over a year or more, gained 15-20 back (it fluctuates lately). It's my own fault. I let emotions overrule my will power, but it's back, so there's no excuses not to get back on track now. I hope everyone is progressing well in their journeys. I look forward to hearing from some of you. Thanks. Have a great day!

  • Good for you not giving up! You did 80(which is amazing by the way) you can do 25! I think we all go through ups and downs, just get re focused and you will hit your goal!
  • Hello Erika! My name is Nikki and I am back here after being on MFP for almost a year then I kind of fell off the wagon. I have created a new profile to help me get a brand new start. I lost 15 lbs and have put it back on by not taking care of myself and I am ready to get back to the basics so I can start feeling good again. I will send you a friend request and maybe we can help each other out on our journey.
  • Hi Erika! Fellow Georgia girl here to offer support!

  • Thanks so much to everyone that has commented or sent friend's requests. We all know that it's more mental than physical so it means a lot to help each other out. I'm looking forward to the advice and encouragement on this site, and I am here as well, for any tips or support. I hope everyone has a great weekend...rain, snow, or shine. ;)
