in Introduce Yourself
Just wanted to take the time to say hello and Introduce myself. My name is Christina and I live in Pa. I have 4 children, all girls. I have some things that hold me back from really fighting for what I want. If I can get those under control I would be so happy so that I may be able to go back to being extremely active like I used to be. Really don't know what to say so If there is anything that anyone wants to know just get in touch with me.

    Welcome to MFP! Good luck on your journey. Some advice...
    1. Set small achievable goals, add a new goal each time you succeed.
    2. Take it one day at a time. Don't give up when you have a bad day, and don't wait for the start of a new week to get back on track.
    3. Be patient. Change takes time...a lot of time. Don't rush to the finish line because you will not have gained all the tools/knowledge you need to maintain results in the long run.
    4. Track EVERYTHING...weigh/measure for accuracy.
    5. Don't deprive yourself of things you love to eat, just fit them into your calorie goals. Excersise helps to fit the yummy but bad for you into your daily goals.

    I hope this helps!

    Welcome,

    I too am trying to overcome obstacles in my life. Like my compulsive eating. I feel if I can conquer that then the weight will come off. I think it is great you are reaching out for support and help. Keep pushing forward and don't stop no matter what. Hope all the best for you and if you would like you can add me a friend. Maybe we can support each other. They say it is always good to have a buddy in the process. Good luck! Fat Ginger
