Hey guys, been on MFP for about 4 weeks - I've lost 2 pounds - but my clothes have been fitting better.

Don't have alot of friends who are actively managing their weight and exercise locally - looking for friends on MFP:smile: Simply for mutual encouragement.

I've had company for past 4 days - went off routine and exercise - now feel I need a diet of unsweetened oatmeal for a week.

    Don't beat yourself up over a little slip, just get right back to basics. Slow and steady wins the race. Feel free to add me as a friend and support.

    Don't worry about the last few days, just draw a line under it and start doing what you were doing before. You can add me if you like

    hiya, i've been with mfp since january and love it. however i've had about 3 weeks off (not entirely sure why, i just fell off the wagon!)
    started weight watchers last week and re-aquanted myself with the gym and today i feel great so im thinking the break might have done me good.
    you can do this and you have plenty people on here to spur you on should you need the encouragement. please feel free to add me xx

    I agree with the former posts, beating ourselves up won't help. I like what one lady said especially, draw a line under it, and start anew. I am having to do the same. After going to the gym for over 14 monts 5-6 days a week, and losing over 60 lbs, I've gone "off the wagon" for a month. It corresponds to the time I started a new job. I wonder if I exchanged one "high" [exercise, endorphins, weight loss] with another, a job I LOVE!

    Anyhow.. tomorrow is Monday and the perfect time to get back to high protein/salad lunches and the gym after work.

    You can do it. I can too!! :)

    We all have days that we slip up. Just start right back up again. You can add me if you would like.

    And I like unsweetened oatmeal - just add some cinnamon for flavor!

    Its ok if we slip up, its what we do about it that really matters. The trick to any hurdle I think is to stand up, dust ourselves off and start were we left off. We onl y human after all. I am new here but I have noticed that everyone seems so friendly and so willing to help someone who is just starting a new program. I am really glad I found you all. Best of Luck

    welcome back! remember, a setback is NOT failure! it's like learning to ride a bike, sometimes you fall off, but you get right back on. you're learning a new skill here, too, and sometimes you might fall. big whoop. :D

    feel free to add me, it would be fun to motivate and encourage each other!

    Wow, just last night - well Welcome!

    When you do your exercise, remember to log it - it adds allowable calories to your bank. Even housework! Anyway, looking forward to being friends!

    Hi,

    Last year at this time I weighed 52 ponds less. I gained it all back so easily.
    I do Know how it feels. I like this app because it helps me keep track
    of everything I put in my mouth. I tend to be a mindless overeater. This is my biggest issue.

    Think of yourself and smile.
