in Introduce Yourself
I keep being pulled away by life, stress and insecurities! I want that to change this year. When I had hit my weight loss goal 5 years ago, I got my first tattoo, the text says "all things new". It was a reminder for me that every day is a new day, every season a new season, every year a new year. Transformation is always possible, always an option. And I want to focus on that idea again.

If you don't mind having a friend who has done this perfectly and became overwhelmed, and now does it not so perfectly, please add me. I enjoy interacting, connecting and relating, if you do as well, please add me. If you are someone who struggles with health issues, known or unknown, and it affects this journey you are on, please add me!

    Hello, I will add you and anyone else who wants to add me, please do!

    This is my third time on MFP. First time was fairly successful (not easy, but ultimately successful); second time was not successful at all, life had taken me for a nose dive after a massive knee injury.

    Now I am definitely back and I am ready to do this.

    Happy new year everyone :)

    Me too! I haven't gone completely backwards but I have big goals this year and big expectations of myself and my performance. I have kept my profile private for a long time but I think having a few friends who I can relate to will be encouraging!

    Hey all! Feel free to add me as well! This is my 3rd time back. First time lost 40 pounds, second time only lost 5 before I gave up due to laziness, and this time I'm not giving up. I'm turning 35 this month and starting to develop some health issues due to my unhealthy ways. My goal right now is to lose 30 pounds!

    Also returning from a very long break. My first time on here I lost over 60lbs. I've gained about half of that back and am finally feeling ready to go at this again. Feel free to add. :)

    Hi Becky and all...Sending a friend request Becky. My profile gives the full story but I lost 20 lbs. 3 years back and have since regained it and 20 more due to illness, medications and stress eating after a death in the family. But...a new year and a new start :) Anyone feel free to friend request me, I love people and I love being encouraging along with getting encouragement as we walk this path. Happy New Year!!

    Hi
    I have (like many others) lost my weight but now it is creeping back on. I have been on MFP since mid-2011 but only got serious after Christmas 2011 (my day count is off as I had a break of a few weeks). I lost 25 kilos quite quickly (moving house is a great activity) and got to my goal weight in late 2012, but it has slowly crept back. I need to lose about 10 kgs, and get myself fitter. Currently suffering a really sore back (no core strength??). I am a newly retired 65 yo Aussie and would like to add to my friends list, and support others :-)
