in Getting Started
Okay, so i want to start over on my fitness journey today. I haven't lost any weight in 7 months. All i have are excuses. I need to stay focused and just do it. I am slowly slipping back into poor eating choices, and it terrifies me. Anyone who is in the same boat, lets beat this together! Send me a friend request!

    I know what you mean... its terrifying! I really need to get back on track, i know i have it in me to do well. I think finding a some people(the more the merrier) that i can talk to daily and stay accountable with is important. Its just frustrating. BLAH!

    I'm with you! I lost 60 pounds and then gained 35 back!!!!! I'm also done with the excuses, support is very important so I'll add you. Hopefully supporting each other will help us both reach our goals!

    Hi, I lost 60 then got some kind of will power block and stayed there most of the summer and then gradually gained back 5 or 6. Puttin the breaks on that and reengaging with my calorie goals and exercise. I'm already seeing progress, yes we can do this!

    Thank you all for replying to my post, I know we all can start over today. If we all just get 45 min or cardio in and eat within out MFP calorie goals it will melt off! I know its A LOT harder than it sounds, but i am really going to make it a point to workout everyday. There is no reason why i cant do 45 min a day, my excuse has been laziness!

    I'm on a serious plateau... if you can call it that. I have gained and lost the same 3 - 4 pounds over and over again. It has been such a busy summer and I have had A LOT of fun. Now summer is ending and I need to start over and really watch my portion sizes. I also have vowed to avoid alcohol until Thanksgiving. That is gonna be hard!

    zia gal, i too am up and down with the same 4 pounds. It strange because i have a good amount to lose. Its my eating though, i know it. I am going to make a point of only eating back half of my calories that i burn from now on. I dont care if i burn 100 calories, i will only eat 500 back.

    I stayed in that bad habits cycle and all it leads to is regret and regaining all the weight (if not even more). I recently gave myself a fresh start ad so far so good :) I'll definitely friend you, anyone going through this knows we have to stick together!

    Oh, boy. This post resonates with me. I'd gotten myself to start eating healthier, and then the holidays hit last year....Now I'm up ten pounds and slowly creeping upward (hence why I'm here!). Boo....</3
