in Introduce Yourself
I've tried this site once before and kinda feel off. I'm going to try it again and see if I can stick to it. The last time I tried it I was to strict with everything and ended up being so discouraged that I gave up all together. I've grown since then and realized that everything in moderation and portion control is key. So I'm looking just for some support and fun people to

    You've totally hit the nail on the head.... moderation & portion control is the way to go & if you work hard for it, you can still have you're favourite treats. Good Luck & feel free to add me :)

    I was also on here last year. I lost 17 pounds and then sort of forgot about it. But I'm back because I need to lose some more. I have arthritis in my knees and need to drop another 15 pounds to avoid knee replacement as long as possible. I'm only 51, which is really way too early to have that surgery because it doesn't last that long, and I plan to live well past 70! :smiley:

    I'm a noob too. I'm trying to lose 45-55 pounds and have never really tried to limit what I've eaten. Staying at weight has always been easy during high school and my time in the Army but since then some injuries and life kicked me and I got really fat. Trying to change now.

    Hey! It's great you came back. I feel like this site is just an addition to keeping a dieters eating habits under control, sort of like a daily reminder to keep the portions in control and to watch what you're eating. Don't feel pressured to stay within the calorie range but aim for it. If you surpass the goal don't feel discouraged b/c for me I tend to feel like giving up but that's b/c I get too into the losing weight aspect instead of becoming healthier. I feel like a good balance of healthy activity also adds to the experience and makes progress better. In any case, feel free to add me and if you have any questions feel free to ask. All the best! :D

    Hey thanks every one! All the best for you as well. Feel free to add me! MFP doesn't want me to be able to add anyone. I may have to change the settings. And I hope everyone as well as myself stays on track for a healthier living. Plus, it would be nice to be able to cross my legs without feeling uncomfortable about it. Lol

    I am also back.... had lost about 60 pounds... had a surprise baby and now need to lose 80pounds... all of my friends have abandoned MFP.... lost motivation... I need motivated people to keep me going and not lose momentum. I have a very tricky daily schedule...so squeezing in workouts has to fit between a 5 month old routine my 6 year 9ld school and homework and my job as a pastry chef.... yes I work with pure evil... not your friend when you're trying to be sugar free .. lol. :)
