Starting Over

I'm starting over also, just last week. I would like to lose at least 15 lbs., 20 would be great. Logging everything into my food journal makes me realize that I really have been misjudging my portions. I think that's the hardest part. I also found out I was eating way too much fruit. I always thought fruit was ok, no matter how much I ate, but I think with all the sugar it was just giving me a lot of belly fat. This is a long journey, but I'm looking forward to feeling better about myself.

Hi today is my first day starting over. I've used MFP quite a few times in the past and it helped, and also using Fitbit too, my biggest problem is finding the motivation to exercise. I weighed myself this morning and was devastated to see I'm 9lbs away from being back to my heaviest ever and have put 40lbs on in the past 18 months. But I'm feeling positive and will be spending more time on here looking for support and inspiration and if I'm having a bad day I can speak to people who really understand as I've always kept my weight issues and how it really affects me away from friends and family. Feel free to friend me and good luck to everyone on their journey!

I am starting over as well. I have 100 lbs to lose and it feels overwhelming. Trying to stay motivated has been a challenge. I'm trying to figure out how to best exercise since I have a desk job and have issues with my knees. I think I'll try to take my calorie allotment for the day and break it down to per meal and snack. I will try to think of it like a "checkbook" where I only have so much "money" and need to divide it up for the "categories" needed. It will mean that I will need to plan ahead more. Not quite sure what to do about exercise. I am looking forward to the encouragement and support.
