edited November 11 in Motivation and Support
I know it's totally cliche` to have started a diet/excersice program on January first- everyone expects you to fail before February. I kept my head down that first month so as not to be written off as a New Years flake, but now I'm proud to speak up and say I'm one of the 2015 New Years resolutioners who's still going strong! I've logged in every day since the first and lost 8.5 pounds so far. woot! So chime in everyone, I'm curious to know who else is beating the odds and sticking to the promise they made to themselves on New Years.

    Me too. It sounds kind of silly but it's motivating to me to see the "streak" counter increasing. :smiley:

    Still here from January 2013 actually, although I guess it wasn't a new year resolution for me as I only started on January 14 or something.

    I'm glad to see things are going well for you. Good job for sticking with your resolution.

    Well I guess I am one of them too. The end of December was spent stuffing my face and being lazy. I rededicated myself in January.

    I've always thought it's better for people to start a 'new year's resolution' in March though.. because the weather is better and theres more sunlight. I think you won't get discouraged as quickly as starting January 1st.

    I thought it was funny how many friend requests I got from newbie resolutioners a month or two ago. But it's been nice to have new faces on my page, and people motivated and active on here! I've been on here since last May, but I congratulate anybody still here from January!

    It took me a few weeks to get back into logging but a month or two to keep up the habit! 230 days in. You all can do it!

    I started my weight loss journey January 2013 although I didnt find MFP until Nov of that year. But I'm still here and now in maintenance.

    Still here...

    Could use a few more friends though, seems quite a few have disappeared over the years.

    I've seen dieting since March 2014 but took a break during November-December. I was frustrated with a plateau and wanted to indulge during the holidays. Big mistake because the rich foods made me feel sick. I've been going strong since New Year's and hope to hit my goal weight by April. I'm carb cycling and exercising again. I think MFP will be very helpful with the maintenance phase this year.

    I have used MFP since 2010 on and off when trying to lose weight with co workers. I finally got serious last year about making this a lifestyle change. Down 40lbs, 20 more to go.

    I joined in June last year but congrats to everyone who's stuck with it! It makes me sad to have had so many new people add me in January and then see that their last login was a couple of weeks ago... So it makes me extra happy to see everyone who's still here!
