in Motivation and Support
There are a few good supporters left, but most of my supportive, uplifting, & encouraging friends on here have disappeared. If anyone is a motivator and in turn wants motivation, please add me. We are in this together. I am not seeking quantity of friends here, but quality. I'm 26, 336 lbs (began at 370), and working to lose 2 lbs (at least) per week. I keep my diary open and try to be encouraging. Add me so we can venture the journey together. :)

    I have PLENTY of days for sure that I don't eat so great. What i try to do is not wait until the next day or the next week to do better. The very next meal. HOneslty, I pretty much eat what I want, just in better quantities.

    So true what you said, if you slip up, get back on ASAP. My past failings haven't been in the slip ups, they've been not getting back to it. I have at least 100 to go. Sending a request :smile:

    Hi! I'm Alexandra. Many of my good friends have left too, I need to get around to doing a friend 'cleanse'. I'm aiming to lose a total of 60lbs. I started a few weeks ago at 196, down to 184...

    DLynn127....Looking forward to it!

    Alexandra....Good progress so far. Yes, unfortunately, I'm cleansing mine. Only those who haven't logged in in a really long time. Trying to support those who may just be out for a while! I'm trying to lose 200 total. Yikes! But down 32 so far and feeling more encouraged than ever!

    Have just sent you a friend request. I've lost 72lbs to date, started at 320. I log every day, just reached 490 days today (I think!). Anyone who wants a friend who logs honestly and regularly and tries to cheer everyone on is welcome to add me :)

    A lot of my friends have gone too. I'm pregnant and my cravings aren't exactly helping my healthy lifestyle. But I do try to make up for it. I don't delete anyone so add me if you need an extra friend

    Me too... only because I'm eating healthy! But if I eat what I normally eat I would triple my goal!!

    Hey! I need some more friends too :) I admit to having this problem of being really good for a couple weeks, then slacking and gaining it all back, rinse & repeat. Trying to stick at it this time!! I'm 5"1' and at 150lbs - hoping to lose 20lbs.

    Hi! I would be happy to add you. I absolutely love supporting and encouraging people. I try to do monthly progress checks with all my MFP friends to keep each other going, and my friends have appreciated my efforts. Anyone else who wants support can add me as well ☺️. I believe the same thing that we're in this together!

    You can add me. I started at the end of March and am on here everyday. I'd like to lose about 50lbs, have finally gotten my diet under control, and now I'm gettingh fitness plan underway. It's definitely so much easier to stick to it when you have a good support group!

    How many times a day are you eating? What I do is never really avoid foods I want. I try to have quality foods too. Some are higher in calories, but are great for nutrition. Are you having a snack between meals? Are your goals set so that they are better for you. My nutritionist wants me to eat between 1500-1800 calories, but MFP tried to give me 2300.

    I try to make it a lifestyle change that I will be able to continue forever. I eat healthy, but if I crave a chocolate bar-- i buy one and eat it slowly. If I crave Ice cream, I buy the tiny container and eat it. I believe i am creating a healthy relationship with my food.

    Just stay the path, sorry this has happened to you. But it looks like you have found some new friends in this thread!

    Seriously, what is happening on MFP? The friends I had for years are inactive. The friends that are my friends in real life are now inactive on MFP. And the recent friends I added with similar goals that I found in the threads have been MIA for the last 2 weeks. I feel like I am the only one left!

    It's an uphill battle, I think, alheise12, and people just take breaks from it or stumble. I've stumbled several times, but I am so aggressively after my goals this time around, I don't ever want to stop.

    I've had slip ups too. i get stressed and depressed and start eating like crap. however, i think this time I've finally had enough of just wearing gym pants and scrubs all the time because nothing else fits me. almost 3 weeks in and 4.5 lbs down---slow and steady wins the race. anyone can add me if they like :)
  • A_poetiq

    That's awesome. Keep pushing. Honestly, however, Id wear gym pants for the rest of my life everyday if I could, no matter my size. I love them. I only put other pants on to go to work.

    I added you and I think everyone else in this message! I am Here every day. Started at 287 down to 275, slip ups have been the thing that did me in in the past, when I started this time 3 weeks ago I tried something different.. Basically just really clean eating, trying to stick to the whole 30 challenge for 30 days. I will say beer and cheese where my down fall, but after just one week of no cheese milk dairy, my stomach feels amazing. Sounds silly but I guess I never realized or wanted to realize that I am really lactose intolerant. It's getting easier and easier!

    I wouldn't be concerned about not enough sugar or sodium but to add some calories and good for you fats try eating some almonds for a snack..
