I've used myfitness pal for awhile now, but I've never gotten into the community aspect of it. I've been really down on myself lately. I've gained some weight back and CAN NOT find the motivation to get back at it. One major problem is I'm in my last very stressful year of school and my extra time is very small, and money is tight so groceries must be cheap. I don't want to put my body on hold for school but that is what I've done and in the last year I've gained back 20 (stress eating and little sleep). I have a 3 week break starting 8/28 and I need a jump start. Hoping to get some sweet motivation and TIPS and perhaps any other students or just people needing that pick me up could benefit from this as well!

    You gotta find it. We can't give it to you.

    If you want something that badly, you will get it done.

    I've just joined MyFitnessPal and still figuring out how it all works but after months of stressfull job and unhealthy eating (sometimes not at all) I realise I need to lose weight and start eating properly. Set yourself some time to plan your meals - this prevents you from making unhealthy choices. Try buying cheap groceries at the end of the day when supermarkets are marking them down as they are nearing their useby date. These can easily be made into wholesome soups or pasta sauces (use the recipe maker on here to get the calories). Set yourself small goals and maybe find a photo of yourself at a weight that you would want to be again or like me buy a nice top/dress/trousers or other piece of clothing and hang it somewhere prominent so it motivates you and know that you WILL fit into when you've lost weight! Good luck!

    Isaack those are very true words. I'm more looking for tips and the occasional you got this ;) not for you to come smack the chocolate out of my hands lol! But you're right.

    Kirstie...thats a great idea about the end of the day groceries! Might as well hang up my old pants rather than the new ones
