in Getting Started
Need friends to help keep me on track and for encouragement. I lost 60 lbs using mfp before and then gained it all back in about 5 months. I am so dissapointed with the fact that I ruined all my hard work. Looking for active users and people who will be encouraging.

:)

    I also gained back my weight loss, I know how disapointing it is. But your back! You have taken the first step.
    I log on daily and enjoy encouraging my friends. Anyone feel free to add me!

    Theres a good book called "Power Eating" by Susan Kleiner. It breaks down nutrition for men/women, weight training, fat loss, runners, vegetarians etc. Very comprehensive book that is VERY easy to understand without all the complicated junk in fad diet books etc. Hope this helps!

    Hi

    I am starting back after being sick for a month or two at the end of the year, and part of my new years resolution is to track and log as often as possible. I am on here several times a day and am happy for any active members to add me for shared motivation and support :)

    I lost 70 doing HCG, gained it all back plus an extra 20. I was very discouraged and am just now just starting back the right way. Feel free to add me.

    I too know how it feels, only this time I gained even more than what I originally weighed. This is my first time using mfp. I also started insanity. I just finished wk 1. And I can't wait to see some results. So does mfp really work by just staying on track with how many calories it tells you you can have?

    Yep, just plug in your exercise and every morsel that you put in your mouth and it works. It worked for me!

    I know how that feels! I lost 37 lbs and gained back 32 of it after falling hiking and injuring my tailbone as well as starting back at work on a very tiring job. When my tailbone did get better, my energy didn't. I'd also been eating stuff that I shouldn't and that was more the cause for my energy failure than my tailbone. I've been cutting out the stuff I shouldn't have and have lost 7 of the 32 since January 1st. To help motivate me I joined a 12 week challenge at the gym. I've never done that before and am really excited about it. I don't care if I win, just knowing that there are "BEFORE" pictures out there is helping to motivate me!

    I've been logging every day since January 1st and will continue. My goal is to be able to post back in a year with good results. It seems that I don't have a problem losing the weight, the maintaining and keeping it off is the hard part for me. Hopefully I can change my thinking and get into this lifestyle change and not treat it as a diet.

    Good luck to you!

    Add me if you like! It can be hard work, but I'm seeing numbers (and a body) I never thought I'd have. I gained some back over the holidays but the flu helped me get back to where I was..LOL. Still a bit to go.
