in Getting Started
Hi,

I have had this app for a while now and have used it off and on. At the beginning of this year i started to change my lifestyle by working out and eating healthily and i actually lost 20lbs by the end of March!! In mid April i fell off my groove i was in and i defiantly need some motivation buddies that are also looking for a lifestyle change!! Im just trying to get healthily and active!!!

    Wow 20lbs that's amazing! You're like me. Your own worst enemy! I find I do things to sabotage my success and I don't know why because the only person I hurt is myself ultimately. It's almost like self harm. I just think take things day by day. Give yourself weekly or monthly targets and when you reach that, tick it off and make a new one. I find the more exercise I do the more it motivates me. I love typing how many calories I've burnt into the app and then watching my daily allowance go up! That motivates me!

    I've done the same thing with losing focus. I lost 12 lbs then gained it back and then some! So frustrating! I've started back up with MFP to get back on track and fit comfortably in my pants haha! I love buying new clothes but not because I can no longer fit in my old ones. I need motivational friends as well, I sent you a request :)

    My downfall was to start wearing leggings when I put a bit of weight on. Because they are so stretchy and comfy you don't notice yourself slowly getting bigger.

    I feel the same way! Lost about 25 pounds from July 2013-October 2013, but with PCOS, Ive literally lost maybe 5-10 pounds since then. I would love to help you out and give some motivation! I'll send you a friend request! :)

    I am in a fitness challenge group that one of my friends asked me to join. If we commit to a certain group, we have to post our goals, check in daily and we push each other and not slack off. I just started this but I am fully motivated and have my program of choice arriving next week. I can't wait! If you are interested in a fitness group, I can add you!
