I can't do this without you.

I was on MFP previously and had great results. I lost 65 lbs! After meeting my boyfriend I began gaining weight. I have gained back 20 lbs and I feel awful. My boyfriend proposed on Christmas Day and we are actually looking at getting married in less than 6 months. I need your help! My previous success was due largely to my MFP friends and the wonderful motivation they offered. I am looking for highly motivated friends who have knowledge to share. What type of friends do I need? I need friends who struggle with eating healthy and need to find ways to curb their sweet tooth. I need friends who hate exercise and find new and fun ways to get moving. I need friends who wish to find a path to fitness that works for both of us. I have experience and some tricks to share with people who find themselves struggling with similar issues as well. I want to help motivate others and get the support I need in return.

    having friends that you are accountable to is a great way to stay motivated - happy to help if you think I can

    that's a very unhealthy mindset to start out with.

    whether you say you can or you can't, you are right.

    if you say you can do this alone, by building your own strength and teaching yourself how truly powerful and bright you are - you are right.

    if you say you cant possibly do this without others to carry you, you are also right.

    it just depends on which mindset you decide to adopt right out of the gate.

    choose wisely.

    You sound just like me! I hate healthy food well most of it. Today is my first day on losing weight and i am already starving.. I want this so bad though so i will continue to drive myself. I quit smoking 25 days ago today. I went out and bought me a Fitbit and some healthy foods. I am ready to lose this 50 pounds.
