Hi! My name is Peekadoo and my body is a calorie hoarder. Today is day two of my most recent commitment to teaching my body how to burn calories. I have 300 pounds to lose and would appreciate all of the encouragement I can get. I know how hard it is to lose weight, and I commend anyone and everyone who has the courage to pick themselves up and start again.

    Simple rules - Dont Have A bad Day and eat, eat, eat!
    - if you do have a bad day it aint over! the odd bad day over the period of the time loosing will not change your outcome!
    - Weigh your foods to know what your taking!
    - Egg whites are a great filler and only 17 - 20 cals each. Boil them up and leave them in the fridge for when you get hungry!

    Well done. Actually being here is half the battle. And once the scales go down it is quite addictive!

    One day at a time. Don't think about the long journey, think about the daily journey. If you move more and eat less, you will see results. If you make a bad choice, don't let that lead to another bad choice. You can do it and we can help!! Good luck to you!!!:drinker:

    Add friends that support and motivate you! I have been on diets before but this isn't a diet it is a lifestyle change. I have been on MFP for a little over 1 1/2 months and have lost 18 lbs so far. I give credit to my friends for holding me accountable and pushing me a little ;) I wish you luck on your journey!

    My favorite quote that motivates me is :

    Giving up something now for something even better in the FUTURE is not a sacrafice....it's an INVESTMENT!!!

    now---unhealthy food
    future===healthier me!!!

    Welcome! I started on May 10 and have lost 13lbs so far. I have "tried" to lose weight in the past but I have not had much success. I love the support and the resources on MFP. It's what keeps me motivated every day! Add me as a friend if you'd like! :smile:
