Newbie here with 100 + to lose

Options
I used to have a mfp, but I didn't stick to it. So now I am back and committing myself to sticking to it this time. Truth is I am not healthy, and I don't let many people see the real me because I am hiding in this obese body. So my journey starts now.

    Hi, you can do it this time... take one day at a time. I am in the same boat, have been with MFP before and kept coming back but this time I am sticking to it. My epiphany was... eat whatever I like, in moderation, count the cals, move as much as possible and if I fall off the wagon one day, just get straight back on and forget the day before.

    I haven't lost that much weight so I don't think I am in a position to preach really but I think it's a good place to start :smile:

    If you are over 300lbs (or thereabouts), there is a great thread on here called the Over 300 club - it is very supportive, check it out

    Good luck, you can do it!!

    Remember that it took a long time to put on the weight so it will take a long time to take it off. Just focus on getting and staying healthy. It is amazing how much better you can feel with just a little weight off. I know from experience. We are all on your side!!!
