in Introduce Yourself
I'm new here tonight after having the site recommended by some FB friends. I don't have a lot of motivation about losing the weight I've packed on and I'm praying this will kick me into high gear and work. Fingers crossed....:smile:

    Hi and welcome! :)

    This is an awesome site/community if you're looking for motivation and support. The best thing to do is to get to know people who also use MFP and track everyone's success~! What also helps is if you have a smartphone, there's an MFP app that's suuuuper handy!

    I hope you enjoy your stay here and if you'd like to friend me, I'd be happy to have you and help motivate you! :)

    Welcome aboard.
    Don't stress about not having the motivation, just start logging your food and exercise and you might be surprised to see where you end up... 6 months here and I'm 40 pounds lighter!

    Welcome aboard and I know exactly how you feel! I have lost the belief in my self too. It is probably the biggest thing we need to remind ourselves everyday. The fact that we do have the power to make it happen. We have to be accountable to ourselves for ourselves. We decide what to put in our mouths and whether we decide to excercise or not each and every day. Good luck to you. Wishing luck to me too! :) I have put in a friend request to you. Not sure how much weight you are looking to lose, but I will be here for awhile. I am hoping to lose 115 lbs! And I am promising myself to believe in myself each and every day...and to actually use the tools that are available.

    You're not alone. I joined two weeks ago and I've lost about 4-5 lbs already. It works. I'm motivated too.. :)
    Glad to see you here.

    A warm welcome to you. You've made the right decision to check out MFP. I started in May of this year & have lost between 27 & 30 lbs. There is so much support & motivation here. MFP is giving me back my life. Like you I felt I had no time for me, everyone else came first. But, I realize if I don't take care of me now, I won't be around for everyone else. Good luck. You are in the right place. Sending you a friend request. Have a great one.
