Hi my new MFP family,

Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I have been a member for awhile now...but never really committed. But my weight has just gotten ridiculous! Somebody stop me! lol. In all seriousness, I am hoping this will help me stay the course and lose this weight for good!

Kind Regards,
Lee

    Hi, there, it's all in your mind. Find somebody near you in real life who will be your motivation. Mine, was my sister-in-law who lost half of herself during the course of 2 years.

    Welcome back cuz. First just hold yourself accountable for everything you eat!!! You may not be able to stay under calorie count, but you will now be aware of portion control. Increase intake of water. Before eating, drink 8 ozs... time to start tricking the body. Finally, get 15 mins of cardio a day in. NO MATTER WHAT. Walk, skip, jump rope, walk stairs... you can do this!! And now you have army of friends rooting for you, encouraging you... and in this same race with you. I learned from logging calories... I have a much greater sweet tooth than I thought. I eat when I am not even hungry... and I don't eat as healthy as I had thought. I too have work to do... plus I've really cranked up the exercise. I am so sore today... I am not doing NADA!!!!!
