edited September 30 in Introduce Yourself
Am fairly new to site, but not new to weight loss. Have yoyo'd back and forth (20-25lbs) over past few years. Am back up again and need to find the motivation to lose once again. I came close a couple years ago to my goal weight (was about 8lbs away) then life got the better of me and nom nom nom, I lost the momentum and gained the weight back.

I have two good friends on here now, but would like a few more to help motivate, offer suggestions, tell their stories, etc.... So please feel free to friend me or reply....

    friends and accountability partners are definitely the key! and being honest with your food diary and exercise logs. log everything... and it will get to where it's at the top of your mind all the time! i suggest GREAT friends who have paid their dues like a few of mine... feel free to ask my friends for friendship and motivation!

    I know its the hardest thing - this crazy mixed up relationship with food, but you deserve to feel wonderful! Keep up the challenge to yourself. As I strolled to the parking lot this afternoon pushing my grocery cart full of healthy good food. I remembered what it felt like to walk without the weight. Focus on you!

    Welcome! I've been here a few months and have lost about 25 pounds. Be honest with your logging even if you totally blow it. Start exercising slowly and before you know it you will craving it!
    Friends help so much! I feel that has helped me stick with MFP. I know it works.
    I'll send you a friend request.
    Again, welcome!
