in Introduce Yourself
I am a 28 year old Texas girl who loves food but loves life way more. I want to get healthy for myself and for my family. I want to stop using weight as an excuse to not be living my life to the fullest. Anyone who is looking for support out there, please add me! I log on every day and have lost about 7 pounds which came off pretty quickly. I think that was probably water weight because I've been completely stuck the past two weeks. Time to step this up and get serious!

    I could use a buddy too - I am 52 and have been on WW for 6 months only to lose 11 lbs. I need support, especially in the evening when I want to snack.
    I am in North Carolina.

    Hi All, I am a 23 year old lady from Australia. My goal is to lose 14 pounds, only to feel
    Sexy ;) whatever happens after that, due to me trying to be healthier in general, is up to my body. I would love encouragement from from anyone only because I am the only bigger girl in my group of friends so they won't really know what i am going through. I will accept anyone, I love meeting new people and it would be great to exchange tips, recipes etc. Thanks :D

    Hi there

    I too just joined and am looking for some buddy support. I have a LONG way to go and I'm trying to set myself up for success from the beginning!

    I have attempted so many times before only to succeed for awhile and then fall off and gain it all back plus a little more.

    I'm following a modified lower carb type diet. That is really the only thing that has worked well for me. I am type 2 diabetic and I feel so much better when I am not eating carbs.

    Thanks!

    For those in this thread needing support:

    Hi

    All you have to do is lose 1 pound at a time. Not xx pounds, all at once.

    That kick to get it done comes from inside....

    The fact you are reaching out and being honest about your struggle is a sign of growth and progress, for which you should be commended. Take comfort in that.

    The difference between MFP and everything else? If you adopt the mindset that its a lifestyle change & not a diet, the rest will fall into place.

    The past is done. The future will be here soon enough. Try and focus on today & today only. Its all we have to work with.

    4 months ago, I weighed 312 pounds. I woulda been dead in 5 years if I hadn't made this commitment. All signs were pointing that way.

    Just a few things the MFP tribe and common sense has taught me:

    1) This is a thing you DO, not a definition of who you ARE. Just like laundry. Take the emotion out of it wherever possible. I cannot stress this enough.

    2) My approach? This is a lifestyle change, not a diet. So there is no finite number of days that I am trying to get to. I will be logging in and logging food for the rest of my life, because:

    a) This program works
    b) I don't want to die young and I was headed that direction

    3) Try to remember - We are the results of the choices we make every day, whether those choices are good or bad. Make as many good choices as you can, and the ship will stay steady. At the end of the day, we are the man in the mirror. We are accountable to ourselves and no one else. We can help you with getting there, but the doing is up to you. Leave rationalizing at the door, and continue to be honest with yourself. Its the only path to long term success

    Cal tracking is considered a good choice (whether boring or not) because it tells you where you really are (just like your check register tells you your balance) - remember to be honest with yourself all the time. Ultimately, you will achieve that which you are seeking much sooner.

    Knowing that plus the support I get from my MFP buds make enough difference that Ive lost 38 in 127 days without doing anything stupid. You just find what works and then hammer the crap out of it, staying in the present while doing so.

    If you will stay committed to this, your MFP tribe will commit to helping. Why? Because that's what we do. And we have ALL been there.

    You got this.. and we got you.

    Feel free to add me if youd like.....

    Claire sweetie I know how you feel.. But you have your whole life ahead of you to become a wonderful, smart, interesting woman! I would say find a sport that you enjoy doing and stick to it - forget about dieting!!!
