Returning to MFP

edited December 2024 in Motivation and Support
This is my umpteenth (actually probably my 5th or 6th) time using MFP. Sadly, back to almost my highest weight. I have learned some things in my absence, however.
1. Consistency is crucial. Perfection is not, but consistency is.
2. I need support and motivation! So, having a "Motivation and Support" Board is ideal.
Please feel free to reach out and say hi, share a story, or ask me for support, too.

Thanks! :)

    Same! Lol... feel free to add me if you’d like. Been on the weight loss roller coaster for years. This diet and that. I am finally in a space where I realize I am only going to achieve long term healthy eating patterns if I actually do the work and quit trying to find an easy fix. Instead of rushing off to find the next ‘miracle diet’ I have accepted that weight loss will occur at a slow and steady pace and I’m good with it.

    Today is my restart. I am doing a veteran move program. 100 lbs to lose again.

    I also believe consistency is one of the biggest tools for success!

    Another re-starter here, and open to FRs.

    I'm also trying to blog a bit more consistently, so if you want to get an idea of who I am before you decide if you want to add me or not, my blog is https://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Carol_L

    Anne,
    Type on the person's picture twice, then select the option on the right. That's the friend request. You can friend me too if you'd like.

    I just came back in January, though I maintained my weight from before. You can do this!

    I'm restarting again after a lengthy absence. Anyone can feel free to add me! I'm definitely needing motivation and accountability!
