My name is Rachelle and I am newer to Myfitnesspal. I have reached a point where I can't take my body weight any longer but I have such a hard time sticking to a diet and eating healthy. I really want to lose 20 pounds by Christmas. But I need words of wisdom and encouragement to keep me going! Please help!

I am a soldier in the US Army and we do health and fitness classes all of the time. I can help you with this. Try to eat, for every meal, lean meats (a serving about the size of your fist), fill the rest of your plate with green vegetables. For snacks eat some fruit, low starch, and no sucrose, or table sugar. Lactose, or milk sugar, and fructose, or fruit sugar, are okay as long as there is no extra added. Hope this helps. The rest is up to you. As far as eating healthy, try to ween yourself off of unhealthy snacks instead of going cold turkey.0

I feel ya there. I do too. I started this a few months ago and got out of the habit, but being on and then off of counting calories I've realized how important it is to eating healthy. You just become more aware when you enter things on here. I think I didn't do very well last time though, because I didn't really have anyone to do this with. I'd love to friend and encourage each other through this... it did work very well for me when I was doing it, and I've actually kept off the seven pounds I'd lost!0

Hi Rachelle, I'm Tj and I feel the same way. Good luck, I know it's hard to stick to a fitness program. I hope you find help and encouragement.
May I ask what you are doing in addition to tying to eat healthier?0 -

I too need that little extra boost at times, seeing people's activity levels really keeps me motivated!

Welcome to MFP! This site has been my biggest tool in reaching for my goals! Logging calories in and burned is such an eye-opener. The forums are great for getting info and advice. Making MFP pals is great for support and motivation and encouragement. Add me as a friend if you would like, I am always open to new pals and working to encourage/motivate one another. Best of luck in your journey and you can drop the 20 by Christmas!0
