Hello. Today is my second day being a member of myfitnesspal. I have struggled with my weight my whole life and have went through numerous attempts at getting healthy but it seems I always seem to get sidetracked and year after year I tell myself I'm going to loose weight yet I continuously gain and am currently the heaviest I've ever been at 225. I'm not usually the type to reach out for support but I realize in order to change I have to make changes. So I'm hoping to find a few people to go through this journey with that can maybe keep me motivated. Thanks for Reading.

    Here are a few tips that I found to work for me:
    1. Make MFP your home page
    2. Log in EVERYDAY, read the message boards, post.. Keep your mind actively thinking about weight loss.
    3. Don't try to change too much at once, Implement 1 change every week or so. Little tweeks over time seem to work best or at least better than a butt load of change all at once
    4. Always be honest. We all fall on our way to the top, be honest, no one is judging you here... we all support each other
    5. Keep trying new things until you find what works for you (It took me a while to find my plan and it works great for me but I wouldn't push it on anyone else)
    6. It's easier to lift weights than continue the burdens of carrying weight.
    7. Take it one day at a time.
    8. Have a cheat day or meal, where you eat what you want
    9. Try to talk to yourself as if you are talking to your child or loved one. Often times the thing we need most is to be a better friend to ourselves.
    10. Smile

    Hi, I will support you! I sent you an add...anyone please add, the more MFP friends the better! I'm trying to stay consistent with tracking calories, and I think that having friends who see your progress (or lack thereof) in the news feed helps :)
