in Introduce Yourself
Hello,

I am looking to lose close to 100 lbs. About 5 years ago I lost a total of 115lbs. In the last 3 years I gained 25 of it back because I started to slack :( BUT I am ready for round 2 and to lose the rest of the weight. I am also looking for any friends to keep me motivated, so add me if you'd like :)

    I need the support.... I can't seem to stay motivated. "Life" seems to get in the way, but I can't keep making that excuse. It's time to play hard LOL

    Welcome and congratulations both on your past weight loss and on deciding to get back on the weight-loss road. It's not an easy one but the support from people on this site will hopefully make it a little smoother for us all!

    Welcome young lady.
    I know all about this up and down journey too. This is round 4 for me:). Something I have learned along the way is to change my goals from weight loss to regular exercise and good eating daily. Why is that important? Weight loss is one of those things that can stall, take time, sometimes go up or down, etc. Whereas if you commit yourself to daily exercise, in what ever form, and then promise yourself to be kind to your body and eat well (the usual stuff, no/little processed foods, lots of fresh veggies/fruit, lean meats, good balance of protein/carb/fats, etc) then you will have a success story to tell every single day.
    Plus I find this community here is also very cool and helpful plus the calorie etc tracking makes it so much easier to stay connected and on target. I wish you well.

    The idea of being kind to yourself is SO important! I sometimes catch myself with negative thoughts, but realize that if I wouldn't think/say that about someone else, it's not okay to think/say it about me either. Thanks for the reminder!

    Thanks for the advice! I'm trying to learn to take it one day at a time.. and not worry about 5 months from now.... It's hard to think that way.... but I know it will make things a LOT easier :)
