in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone

I have been a member for a long time but sadly have not really used this properly. I am feeling a bit stuck. A bit tired. A bit busy. I can provide a huge list of valid reasons but after reading hundreds of posts from ordinary folk I realise that they are just sounding like excuses. I'm scared...but I want to have my ticker zipping along on my profile and feel super proud (not to mention the body/health benefits!). I have bravely sent a friend request to a lady who has about 100 pounds (45 kilos for Aussie folks) to lose. I would like to have friends in the same boat...or at least in the same pond. I think that I have set my profile up correctly. Fingers crossed!

    I am also looking for friends to keep me on track and motivated. I get so discouraged sometimes and come up with excuses about being busy also. Hopefully we can push though together!

    First of all you've got this! I have met my goal weight and now working on getting my cholesterol down without drugs. I am on here daily, eat a balanced diet(all things in moderation), and exercise(it's what I like to do). Feel free to add me. I can give you encouragement or a kick in the hiney if needed!

    Ditto. What are you doing to start your journey.
    I have been trying to move more and care what I eat, but nothing has changed for me, and I realize I need more of an action plan. I think the biggest problem I have right now is calorie intake. I hate the idea of having to write down everything, but it appears that is what must be done as it is the one thing consistently advised on all diet sites.
    Oh, I am also a sugar addict and my brain hurts without it. So, theres that too. It's a problem.

    I was of the view I would lose weight simply by exercising more eating more healthy, within a week and reading this site I realised how fundamental calorie counting is. You need the information so you can maintain the deficit. Fortunately MFP takes the guess work out and the discipline of recording and logging seems to be a very good habit to have and keeps you focused on whats going into your body.

    I would advise on your sugra withdrawl if you cnat go cold turkey then gradually decrease plus you cna also get quite a lot from fruit.

    BTW-I watched "Sugar: The bitter truth" on Youtube and was cured of my sugar addiction. Really, truly. I went cold turkey that minute and have never went back.
