in Introduce Yourself
Hello I started mfp about 6 days ago and so far I am loving it. It is the longest I have stuck to a diet in a while. I'm one of those who start a diet on Monday and end it on Tuesday. About a year ago I was doing really good with a plan and lost about 30 lbs. Since then I have had a baby and pretty much haven't tried to lose weight. My baby is now five months old, so it's time to get rid of this extra weight. I'm determined to do it this time and look forward to meeting some of you and hearing your stories. Feel free to add me.

    One thing you'll notice around here is that a lot of people refer to it as a lifestyle change. I think this is a more encouraging term, because the word diet just seems so...bleh. Diet implies you're going to stop eating that way at some point. If you wanna keep the weight off, you have to keep eating that way :) Just some advice, it might make easier to stay motivated.

    Thanks! That's exactly what I want to do just change my eating and exercise habits for good. I'm tired of this diet and that diet I need something long term and life changing. Thanks for your reply!

    Thank you so much! I think I'm lacking the support I need, so I know this will be the perfect place for me.

    yep, dont call it a diet, just decide to change your life for the better and give yourself the time and energy you deserve to feel great and love the way you look for life!
    i wont wish you luck. luck has nothing to do with it, it just takes determination and focus. you CAN do it, and if you really commit yourself, you WILL do it :)
    welcome, and have fun! xxx
