I've been using myfitnesspal a while... and think it's time to get some friends and help.. cos i have my bad days where i starve myself to make the calorie counter look good.. and the bad days when i pig out and have a way too much...

just lookin for some motivating peeps willing to help me out.... and reach my goal weight... guess we all gotta stick together... =]

    Hello. Feel free to add me, I will be your friend! :) Try not to focus on the numbers so much and more on the health aspect of things...There are some days we will all go over (birthday, *cake= yum*, office party, or whatever) and you can't beat yourself up for that...Starving isn't helping your body either...I had to get that talking to on here....:) If you are looking for friends, well I am here, I can do what I can!

    Suggestions that have inspired me/my friends:

    -sign up for a 5k (preferably one with a free t-shirt at the end)
    -sign up for another physical challenge (Tough Mudder, Marathon, Bike Ride to *Insert Location Here*)
    -get a gym membership and/or fitness routine going with someone who will keep you going
    -start a weight loss challenge group on Facebook (Biggest Loser style competition)
    -plan your meals ahead of time and stock your fridge with healthy alternatives
    -develop a mantra for when you feel a craving (the last time I lost weight, I always asked myself whether I was bored or truly hungry. This time, I ask myself whether I prefer to be healthy and thin or have that sweet thing now.)


    Just some thoughts. Hope they help! Good luck!
