in Introduce Yourself
Hello all. I am coming back for a second try. I had a bad end of year and stress ate myself 10 pounds heavier (Way too easy to do during the holidays.) I am just coming off the Clean Cleanse which I did because my blood sugar and stomach were having problems, but the benefit is that I lost the 10 pounds on the cleanse and I am pretty much back to where I left off. I am worried that when I come off the cleanse in three days that I am going to go back to old habits too quickly and lose all that progress. Last time I used the tracking program, but did not get involved in the community. This time around I realized I could use the extra support and accountability. Anyone willing to be a support friend or in some good support groups? Thanks in advance and hope to get to know a few of you better! =)

    Hey all...you got this...everyone has set backs as long as you can overcome them and march/trudge forward.

    anyone can feel free to add!

    I know the feeling of having set backs - been on here for nearly 4 years and I've had my share of falling off the rails. The best thing you can do is pick yourself back up again, don't labour on the hiccups and stay clear with what you're aiming for.

    Being surrounded by people with similar goals is so motivating, you can share advice and keep yourself accountable.
    Feel free to add me!
