in Introduce Yourself
I want to make this time different. I dont want to do weight watchers, medifast, pills, ect. I want to do it the hard way. I have 100 lbs to lose, and it seems like it's gonna take forever. How do people stay motivated? I always do well for awhile...and then I cheat once, and it turns into a train wreck almost every time. Then a wk later, Im back on the wagon...but when I binge, its bad. After my wedding, I gained 10 lbs in a wk..yep! Wedding cake..a ton of it.
So I have to keep at it, day in and day out.

    HI,

    I have more than 100 to lose, and I'm just like you. You really have to want it bad...I've been on that train wreck most of my life... I started back with MFP on 5/7/14 and am more determined than ever...when I feel that I want something sweet...I scream on here, and my MFP pals help me get through it. I do eat whatever I want, and don't deprive myself, but once that item is eaten...well then I depend on MFP to get me through..not eating another peice...which is my biggest challenge.

    Currently my biggest issue for motivation is exercise, and that my dear I can't help you with, as I'm struggling with that as well :) But, I can sure go along side you! I'm good at logging in every day, and reaching out.. so you want a friend, add me :) Good Luck!

    I use music, exercise and basically self motivation to get where I'm at. I use to weigh 260lbs but now im 186 lbs. For food, you basically have to slowly transition into healthy foods. If you into it fast, you will feel the need to quit right then and there.
