in Getting Started
Hello!

I have restarted, and have been feeling very isolated and depressed about changing my lifestyle and habits. I am looking to befriend anyone who is really struggling day to day. I know that the more people you have to support you, the easier this can be, if it could ever be described as easy.

My approach is truly "one day at a time". I can't look too far off into the future just yet, and am trying to get the control back into my life one step at a time.

I am very supportive and am looking for the same-please add me if you are need some more support and motivation!

    Hello Pep. I'm 47 with 150lbs to loose. I'm here for you...we need to band together and help each other. One day at a time is the only way to do it. And I've learned that having someone that TRULY supports you is so necessary. We will laugh together and cry together-I think the key word is TOGETHER. As long as you don't mind me using your shoulder, mine is here for you.

    You have the right idea but don't make it complicated. You are making the right choice! There are so many supportive members here that will encourage you with positive reinforcement daily!. Log every BLT(bite, lick and taste) that goes in your mouth and walk. The weight will come off. Even better if you can do a little more exercise. Variety and volume as far as food goes helps and keeping your protein level up! Good Luck!

    Hey, I am mid-40's and have over 100lbs to lose. I've been logging for just under four months but still take it one day at a time; I don't think about the long term goal as it seems unattainable when I try to see forward that far! Little steps work best :smile:
