HELP!!

Definitely been there, time and time again. My best advise is to JUST DO IT. Go shopping and fill your fridge with healthier choices. Plan your meals, and commit yourself. If you mess up, don't let it ruin your next day or week or month. Mistakes are allowed, but don't let one mistake turn into anything bigger.

we're still here to support you, not to judge or condemn you, because we've all been there!!

confession over , welcome back !

I literally just got back on track after a 3 week hiatus from my workout/healthy eating program. I ate what I wanted (and alot of it) and didn't touch and exercise video. I guess what got me on track is I just kept thinking about how when this summer came, I would be so disappointed in myself for not taking care of my body. I'd be embarrassed about how I looked and insecure all the time. I didn't want to wind up feeling that way so I made myself up a workout program and eating regimen that is doable but tough and then just said its GO TIME! No turning back, no falling into my old habits. Sure I have a day where I'll eat something extra, but not for a month, lol! Do ALOT of positive self talking. ALOT. Its tough, but you can say nice things to yourself, and that helps me keep going. A biggie for me too, is to plan a week in advance everything I'm going to eat that week, including snacks and enter it on mfp. Along with the workouts I've got planned for that day. That's not to say I don't switch something up here and there when something in my week changes, but having it all planned out on here, sort of forces me to workout or I'd have to cut out half the calories I was planning to eat that day. And nobody wants to minus food off of their plate!
I hope some of this helped, its just how I got myself out of that rut 2 weeks ago! You CAN do it! I promise!

Yes I have been their. I have been trying to lose weight since 2003. I didn't find out about myfitnespal.com till like Nov. 2010. But it's kept me motivated. I finally looked in the mirror one day and said how did you get like this. All through grade school and high school I was fit and athletic but after having children couldn't get my body back but now I am determined. Try Acai Vitamin super chews a great vitamin that can help control hunger plus it's good for you. It gives you great energy, healthy for skin, hair and nails. Healthy weight control. You can get it at Wal-mart. And it's not that expensive. Since staying on track with myfitnespal.com I have lost 8lbs . But before that I have lost 12 lbs doing proper diet and exercise. Giving up pop was the best thing I ever did. I have lost 20 lbs so far and I need to lose 40 more. Wish me luck. And I will pray for you that you will get motivated. :happy:

I have completely fallen off track. It has been a few weeks since I've even logged on to MFP. I have completely gone off track...no watching what I eat and definitely no exercise. Has anyone out there gone through the same thing? How did you get back on track?? Any ideas or words of encouragement would be helpful. I don't know why I have such trouble keeping myself motivated!

We have gone through this at one point or another.... Today is a new day stand up dust your self off and start again. Start eating and logging and start working out. 20 min a time at least... don't get a schedule just do what you can. Don't go crazy and super restrictive you'll burn out. One step at a time one day at a time.

You can do it, don't get discouraged or down cause you got off track just start again and maybe get mor motivational friends who will help you push through and continue! Friend me if you need support!

I JUST WENT THROUGH THE SAME THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Honestly what made me get back on track was going through my clothes and realize all my old stuff that still dosen't fit and a few things I thought fit but now don't! It's hard....I know how you feel....I've gotten to the point where I have signs on my fridge and pantry saying "Remember 96 lbs to go!" Good luck Don't worry you'll find it in you to get back on track, it's good that you know what your doing. make the change now! Remember it's never too late!
