Im Daryl and im hurting...

lets do this!
add me up, I will help you get back on track!

Please feel free to add me, Im so sorry to hear about your friend. Im on here everyday so always willing to give support and help when you needed or even just for a chat.

Im sure with motivation and support from people on here you will achieve your goal. I wish you lots of luck.

aww come here mockchoc (((big hugs)))

shut up!

It's on like Donkey Kong! Let's do this!!!!

YES!!!! Even I will get back on board if you do Daryl. Deal?

Daryl,

Friendships comes and friendships go but remember friendships does not define you. MFP is a place where you can get the most support and although you may have fallen off the wagon a few times (which most of us have) all you have to do is start over. There is nothing in the book of weight-loss that says it will be easy and if you fall off your diet your a bad person. I am a true believer when you start doing things that is best for you, things will start to fall into place even friendship. You are not on this journey alone my friend I wish you luck and always keep your head up )

Good Morning Daryl
Truly sorry for your lost. Getting back to loving yourself is the first step. Stress adds on weight and Im learning that as well. I joined MFP to get back on track after a terrible divorce. Trying to get my mind/weight/life back into perspective. Let's do this together. There are a lot of people on this site to keep us focus and motivated. My goal is to lose 40 lbs and thus far I may not have lost weight (haven't weighed in since Friday) but eating right has already started me to feeling better. Prayers your way!!!! #Team MFP#.

I love you buddy!!! Dont you worry your cute little head about a thing..Ive seen you in action and I know you can do this. Relationships are a huge trigger for me..I hate to say it but I started this journey for all the wrong reasons..1. to prove people wrong about me, and 2. to impress a guy. But like some say: whatever gets us here!

My advice is cut out negative people..they kill. YOU are important. YOU are lovable. YOU deserve good things. Health. Success. and you know who can get it for you? YOU. I support you. You are a handsome and cool guy. Dont let anyone get you down. Remember this is a lifestyle thing. give yourself a lot of time to see the results and just stay with it. I have been limping along and have met some really big goals. but its taken a lot of time. The first 6 months I lost 50, the next 6 months I lost 25 and the last 3 months I have lost just 8. I mean SLOW. But steady and a lot of ups and downs along the way.

You can do this. We are here. NEVER GIVE UP xo

Hi Daryl.

Why do you keep falling off the wagon? What's your approach and why do you stop?

If it's happened multiple times, especially if for the same/similar reasons each time, we should tweak your approach, yes?

Sorry you are so down. Many of us have been our own version of where you are, those who have or have had a long way to go.

You want to feel healthy. First make sure you have your MFP setting right, be honest with yourself. If your calories etc are set too low you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Go gently with yourself, give yourself the right to be pleased with even a small achievement, the next will be greater till you have made it to where you want to be. Most of all be objective about your goals, bite sized pieces, try not to see everything as what the scales tell you. Notice the things which come easier to do, or clothes which fit better. Take measurements of neck, arms, what ever about every month.

Most of all stick with the honesty, you will have bad days and still log those and say good by to it, tomorrow you will have the same number of calories at the start of the day, I hope this will be a good support for you. Today is today now is now. Remember it will be a long war but celebrate each battle you win. Cheat days do not exist, well I can never delude myself. Plan your treats within your allocation. Go for it, Good fortune, Good Health

Iv been using MFP for a long time its worked but fallen off the wagon a couple of times and maybe don't deserve to be asking for this help , last night I lost a very good friendship and I feel like im broken, iv decided to sort my miserable life out because I deserve better, maybe if I sort my mind/weight/life out everything will fall in to place (wishful thinking I know) so I guess im asking for help, because I cant to this alone and cant trust the people in my life, I have at minimum 70 lbs/ 5 st to lose.

Open to new people, happy to chat in general. give and take advice, thanks guys/

posotive is the attitude, negative is not the mood buddy!

Was hoping for Daryl Dixon pics
Chin up dude

Gawd i fall off and climb back on 'the fitness wagon' all the time, im sure most of us do to a certain extent ~ holidays, school days off, weekends away, daily grind getting in the way, its not Monday?!?.....i could go on.....the most important thing, and you said it yourself Daryl, is that you have been off and ON, so you clearly have the determination as you are still going.
You are going through a difficult time and you are doing the right thing by asking for support and motivation to keep you moving forward and on the wagon.....its a bumpy ride but you will get there :happy:
Im not entirely sure in what context you lost a close friend, but having gone through losing a very dear and close friend, to depression, and also losing what i thought was a good friend (which was also painful but necessary).
Both of these loses made me look at life from different perspectives and take notice of whats important. I had to start with my own mental/physical health and well being and then everything else comes along with that.
Im not the most chatty on here but im sure there are many people who can speak up and help you with words of support and encouragment on a more regular basis.
Keep plugging away......all good things come to those who.....work hard for it :bigsmile:
