Looking for a fitness home

in Introduce Yourself
I have re-committed to getting healthy, which includes losing weight. In the past, I have done the treadmill and weight watchers and went from a size 12 to a size 4 in just a few months. Fell off the wagon and here I am again. I have also done the couch to 5k program and actually considered myself a runner before, yep fell off the wagon again. So I have taken some time to reflect on the single biggest cause of anger and sadness in my life and it is my weight. I have allowed my weight to stop me from going places and doing things because I feel too fat. Enough is enough. I'm getting back up and committing to doing something about it. I have been looking around on-line for a place to get support and encouragement and landed here. I'm hoping this site will be one more tool I can use in my journey.

    Best of luck! I personally have found it really helpful in being available as an application on my phone, it enables me to scan food whilst I'm out so I have no excuses.

    Wow, great post. Quit the diet, and just get a lifestyle instead, and the weight will not be a problem again! xxx

    I think you should be a little easier on yourself...it is a learning curve. You just need to make everyday a good day..then before you know it they will be weeks, months etc.

    Welcome to MFP and add me if you want.
