in Introduce Yourself
I joined again after the new year and I've lost 8 pounds. I would love to add some friends on MFP! In the past two years, I've gotten married, bought a house, gone thru a few medical issues and gained 30 pounds (on top of the additional 20 I had before getting married).

I have lost 8 pounds so far, but I'm hitting that place of complacency where I would love to have people to reach out to for tips and support! The best part is, I can give a lot of support back because giving support to others motivates me too!

Have a great day!!

    Hi! I'm on a 165 day streak, so you could say I log consistently ;) I've lost 20 lbs and need to lose another 40 to get to a healthy weight.

    I'm with you staying motivated is the hardest. I start off strong then get bored or discouraged when the scale doesn't show any real progress.
    New Year New start.

    I got a fitbit and a new journal. Each day I track food and water on fitness pal and linked to my fitbit so they can talk.

    Things to help with motivation. In the morning I write down at least 5 Goals that I can do through the day. During the day I add food and check my fitbit to see if eating whatever will keep me in the zone. If it doesn't I drink some more water take some more steps until I can eat something. Using the fit bit makes me more aware and monitoring through the day helps keep me on target.

    Good luck you will find your way don't give up and remember you are doing this for YOU!
