Hi folks,
I joined this a while ago but never really kept it up. After putting on another stone I really need some help!
If anyone is in the same boat n needs a fitness pal then I look forward to hearing from you and your advice

    I look at my children and think that I want to be with them for as long as possible. That is my motivation.

    I can try and be your motivation and help you through it. Losing wieght is not only an everyday struggle but it is a lifestyle change. I actually just started this week ( i know it is only Tuesday) but i lost al lmy wieght last year and competed in trialthon and than for soem reason i thought i should reward myself with a treat well a year later i have added up all my weight again. I ahve competed in two more trialthons since than and boy was i out of shape. So now that i am pushing almost 200lbs enough is enough. So lets be each others support and see hwo far we can get. Lets challenge each other and together we can get back to where we want to be :smile:

    I also need motivation, the scale went up instead of down. That was so discouraging:sad:

    Well what worked for me was that I found foods that I could eat on a regular basis that I could get easily and only did the diet Monday - Friday, Saturday and Sunday were for me, but I did watch the calories a little bit but if I wanted a huge burger I had it!! Once you find the foods that will help you with you calorie goal and you have them it's easier to maintain or restart some of the good traits that you were using before and could even do again. By the way I also downloaded My Fitness Pal and a scanner app for my Android phone, sure does make it easier to track the food just by scanning the barcode. Good Luck,
