Looking for new friends

Hi my name is tina....it's a total mind adjustment! A life style change! You set goals for your self and make your self accountable to lose the weight.Ive been going to the gym for 3 yrs.3 to 4 days a week it's hard cause I go by my self but it helps u feel good.mentally and physically! I wish u the best and think positive! Hope this helps!!!

Good morning, Dixon! I'm Teresa and I think your plan is going to work wonderfully. After months of trying and failing with crash diets and "detoxes" I finally found something that worked--Zumba, green tea, water, and alarms. Yes, alarms. Don't misunderstand, I never forgot to eat, it was a matter of me eating at ridiculous times of the day (or night, as it were). I lost 14-15 pounds in two months while playing Zumba once a day for 40 minutes, drinking green tea 3 times a day, and eating portioned meals at the right times.

Hence, the alarms. My phone went off probably a little less than 9 times a day lol. I had them for Zumba, for my meals, for my tea, my bed time, for just getting up, everything.

Then I slacked off big time and have almost gained all of it back ):

Just wanted to post, say hello, and make it so you know you are supported and aren't the only one who has hit road blocks (:

Let's make this year our best one, our healthiest one. No matter what, you can always start again. Don't be beaten by your failures. No matter how slowly we walk, we will reach our dreams if we only keep going.

I had gotten down to 128 using MFP 2 years ago, but then I got too confident and stopped logging, which was a mistake. MFP really does work and it is simple. Just log everyday

Completely accurate and should've been in my previous post. Make sure to track your intakes. It takes a while to get used to if you've never had to log your food/drinks before but it really is so simple with the app. You can scan the barcodes to mostly everything and MFP will do the work for you.

Me too !! Add me!
