in Motivation and Support
I've fallen off the wagon....again. And I'm back on it, again. I need this to be the time I stay on it and continue to progress. My best friend is getting married in May (and I'm officiating), and I'd really REALLY like to lose a noticeable amount of weight by then, and continue to lose after that. I find that I'm making changes to my diet, but then don't stick to them for more than a week or two.

I have been good at signing in to MFP and logging my food, usually. I'm noticing though, that I don't spend as much time on MFP anymore because my friends list seems to have depleted - many of them don't sign in much anymore, and most people don't post anything. So basically all I see on my feed are bunch of notices that so-and-so lost a pound, or ran 3 miles, etc.

All are great things, but I would really love to have some friends on my list who log in each day, and are active posters on MFP. I'm looking for people to help me stay focused on the goal, and stay motivated and inspired, as well as give tips on sticking with the healthy eating and getting to the gym. I will happily return the support and motivation!!

With all that said, can we start a chain of people looking for new, motivated friends, and all friend each other!?

    I'm looking for much the same. Need to lose about 100 lbs. I work out 3-4times a week. I just can't seem to stay eating healthy. Maybe some friends on here will help keep me in line.

    Welcome again! I hope that you find that continuous motivation. I know that it's hard when you don't have a newsfeed

    I am new to MFP, but I tend to track everything, every day and to be very active.

    I lost 92 pounds, but my weight has crept up a tiny bit lately so I am very focused right now on moving back in the right direction. Will see if I can add you...

    I'm a regular checker-in-er too. Welcome back and keep at it. Keep visualizing that wedding and how great you're going to look. Remember "nothing tastes as good as being fit feels" (a modified Kate Moss quote). Good Luck LE

    So true, so true! Thanks Jay. I think about that wedding every day, and stress about it as much as I look forward to it. :neutral_face:

    Sign me up. I just joined MFP community in earnest (had an ID a couple of years ago that I never used). I've been checking in every day a few times a day for two weeks. I joined because the Universe told me it was time to lose weight in the form of my two very active daughters, my daughters and a trip to Disney world where I found myself tired long before the children.

    I look forward to hearing from you and making new friends. :)

    Yep--I've already re-lost 5 pounds.

    I've got some tough medical challenges that mean I have to be VERY strict to lose or maintain...but I can do that. Most of the time. :)
