Accountability and support

Hey all!

I've logged in to this site sooo many times for like a day, and then I've disappeared, eaten bad for a while, then came back... and repeat!

I'm stuck!

Sometimes I can stick to eating healthy and exercise for a couple of weeks, and lose weight, but then I binge. And spiral out of control.

Feel free to add me if you want to help, motivate, support and hold each other accountable as we lose together.

:)

    I was actually just wanting to write this same, exact thing! I need people to hold me more accountable!

    Hi both. Selfish, I know, but I am so glad that I am not the only one who struggles to stay in control. Perhaps being in contact with others in the same boat will give me a bit of strength to stay on the straight and narrow!

    Anyone can add me as well. Knowing I have to be honest and accountable for what I eat would help I think!

    I was thinking this exact same thing today. Just really struggling these last few days. Maybe because I'm getting into a rut with winter seeming to last forever this year... Maybe because weight doesn't come off in your 30s as easy as it did in my 20s... Just having a tough couple days. I'll send a FR!

    I have the same problem. It seems like I always start out well but end up losing motivation. Lets all help each other to stay on track. Its nice knowing that others go through the same feelings as me

    Was doing so well the last two months, super motivated, going to the gym every day. And have barely noticed any changes...I know it takes time, but I'm really regretting not starting sooner. My wedding is now less than 2 months away, so I basically have one more month...and am not even close to where I want to be. I know it is impossible, so I've suddenly gotten really discouraged... I am eating SO badly and haven't been working out nearly as much. (Still logging though so I can see JUST how badly) I need to go HARD for the next month and get even more serious so that I don't undo any work I may have done. It doesn't help that I've had a bad cold for about the last week that makes it really hard to workout when I can't breathe properly... Anyone, Please add me, I need all the support I can get! My friends and family don't support me because they all tell me I'm fine the way I am (sweet, but NOT what I need/ want to hear). We all get stuck sometimes, but everyone on here is here for the same reason...to get healthy! We can do this

    Count me in too! Need that accountability. Have been food journaling here and there for about a year. I have been trying to lose the same 10lb's for over a year. Now it's 12lb. My goal this week is to post my journal every day even if it's bad ( like tonight). Dinner at shoeless Joes.
    Back at it and better tmrw.

    I am the EXACT same way! I do really well for a few days and then something happens and I just give up and it ends with binging...which then leads to being disappointed in myself. So, accountability and motivation is appreciated!! Feel free to add me.

    Haha. I feel like I should click on everyone's post and copy and paste! I'm tired of a short term "goal" and ready for a healthy lifestyle. I'm always up for extra support and giving it right back! I may even stalk you if you've been missing for a few days and call you out! Anyone is free to add me!

    This happened to me! I was eating right and hitting it hard everyday and I gained weight!! Talk about discouraging! Read up on water weight. I kept up the good eating and making sure I was under my calories but I didn't work out. I lost the pounds I'd gained and then some. The excessive exercise may be the issue. Just a little something fyi. I wish someone had told me! Lol.

    That's me too. I'm in a winter rut. Hate working out inside. Totally prefer to walk outside. The treadmill is like the devil. Started off well, then missed a day, then two.

    Been there! After i reached my goal weight i stopped using mfp but i realized that i need more friends to keep me motivated to live in a healthier way bcz it is sooo easy to lose track without a trigger or a reminder,lets say. Anyone looking for support just feel free to add me.

    Amazing how we all go through the same thing. It is a struggle!

    This is a very familiar pattern for me as well :( I know how much hurt and self blame is involved. Hang in there and keep trying. Whenever this happens to me I remember the picture of the minor digging for gold who gives up just when he's about to strike gold. It's hard, but keep trying and build your stamina :)
