Hi fellow FPs :)

I go through this vicious circle of being diligent with my diary and exercise and once I step on the scale(once a week)to see nothing has happened or my measurements haven't changed, I end up falling off the bandwagon. So I am hell bent on staying on track this time. I'm putting this out here in the open as motivation for myself. If anyone is looking for a friend to add please feel free to add me!

  • I will add you too ;-) After struggling with depression for the last several months and meds packing on weight, I am ready to get back to the old me. Would love to have someone to share this journey with.

    I was afraid of that discouragement also. Here is what I did. I weigh myself as often as possible. That way, I see the little victories every single day. It keeps me motivated. I have only been back on here for roughly two weeks and I've lost nearly 12 pounds. I haven't lost any inches yet, but the movement on the weight has me extremely motivated.

    Hi, Feel free to add me as well. I have been struggling for about 4 years, slowly putting the weight I lost back on. After the thyroid surgery, and a very stressful job, I finally found something that works for me. I have finally seen progress that I haven't seen in a very long time. I would lose 11lbs or so then it would stop and slowly start coming back on. But now I have a new job that I really love and I found my eating style that is working for me. Just keep positive and take one day at a time, you will get there. It is hard to not compare yourself with others. But this is your journey.
