I am just starting out on my weight loss journey, I am currently 200 & my overall goal is to be 170 to start. The hardest thing for me is staying motivated for more than 1 week! If anyone wants to take this similar journey with me and help to motivate each other please post & I will friend you!

thanks!
Julie

    Hi, I'm a chronic dieter, and vanishing motivation was always a huge problem for me, so the weight loss was never long-term. I've been on MFP for 51 days and lost 12+ lbs. The reason it's different for me this time is that I lowered my expectations and chose a slower rate of weight loss in favor of higher daily calories. It might be hard to not see immediate results, but hey, I'm losing weight with minimal efforts. So I don't really need a strong motivation because there's practically no struggle. My only resolution was to log daily, no matter what. You can add me as a friend. My food diary is open and I'm on MFP daily to give and receive support :smiley:

    We're in the same boat! I've started and fallen off the wagon. It's so hard to change my mentality from dieting to just living a more purposeful, healthy life. You can add me as a friend and we all can walk this journey together. I need a good kick in the pants :wink:
