Hello all!!

I am about a week into MFP and loving it so far!! It has been a challenge thus far but I am already starting to feel better about myself!! BUT let me tell you I have been down this road before....where I start out wonderful and end up right where I started. Being in school also definately takes a toll on me!!! I just have the desire for it this time and would love some wonderful women to share this journey with!

Any words of encouragement, advice, and support is well needed!! =)

    I'm the same way I start out great then just to seem to tumble downhill right back where I started. It is insanely frustrating. I plan on not letting that happen this time adn will help you out anyway I can too:).

    I've had a lot of those start-stop moments myself, but I'm determined to see this through to the end this time. I haven't been on MFP long, but I have found some amazing support in the women I've befriended. Feel free to add me.

    I'm no amazing woman, but would love to start adding people for support. I'm fairly new, too. I think I'm ready to start taking this seriously. I'm tired of sabbotaging my losses. :o) I do much better on the workout realm than I do on the eating. That is what I need to change. My philosophy has been "I'd rather workout 2 hours a day than to diet"!! Pitiful and it doesn't work!!

    Anyway, feel free to add me. I would love to have some company along my journey. Best of luck in yours!! :o)

    Feel free to friend me!

    I don't know about you all but I get to a certain point and get all impressed with myself and figure "I got this, no problem!" so I stop tracking...and I might do ok for a week or so then I have an off day, which leads to another off day and before I know it the weight starts piling on again.

    This time around, I'm going to allow myself to feel good, but not so good that I think I've won this battle when it's only halfway over. I'll allow myself certain indulgences now and then but make sure I get right back on track the next day!
