in Motivation and Support
Hi I'm trying to become healthier and I would like to have a few people give me advise and help me stay motivated. My goals are to lose weight and no longer have to take medication for my blood pressure.

    @bbcoach173 thanks I will look into trying these meals. What type of protein powder do you use?

    Take it one day at a time. Try to plan your meals the day before or first thing in the morning. Try to move more. Even cleaning burns calories. Park further away and walk more. Don't sit during commercials, move, move, move. You can add me to your friends list. Deb

    I agree on taking things one day at a time. For me, here's what works: I pre-plan most of my meals (but am flexible when things change or if I feel like eating something else), I weigh, measure and record everything, I weigh in only once a week because I get obsessed otherwise, I read the forums and especially success stories for motivation, and I remind myself every day of why I am doing this - and how those reasons are so much stronger than any food craving!

    You can do this! Please feel free to add me if you'd like. :)

    Pure Protein brand has 23g per serving. The French vanilla is really good. You can add me if you like.

    I find the support I get from my MFP friends to be paramount. It keeps me on track and inspires me daily. Add me if you like (I would add you but I keep getting errors). I log daily and would love to cheer you on in your accomplishments too.
