Ive tried every diet, medifast, nutrisystem, pills, weight watchers.. i lose weight initially but then gain it all back. Im now at my highest weight ever. I feel gross, nothing fits right and its time to make a change. I have heard great things about this site, so, Im hoping it will give me the support and encouragement i need.

    Welcome! I've tried "fads" before, but I've found that I have the most success when I don't think of it as a "diet" and make smaller, sustainable changes. Good luck!

    No diets here. These are lifestyle changes that we are making. Don't think of it as a diet, you can always stop dieting, but you don't stop a change in your life.

    Good Luck and welcome !!

    Welcome! Been there, done that myself :). I've tried them all too... I love Mfp and I hope you will find it helps you too! I have gone further this time than other times (losing 20 lbs or so then getting bored and giving up, eventually gaining it all back and more). I am so focused this time... But what has really helped this time Is that I can work in the foods I love so I don't feel deprived! This is so flexible and you can customize it to your needs. if you are mentally ready you will succeed too! Good luck on your journey - there are lots of positive, supportive people on here to help cheer you on :)

    thanks!! you are right. It is a frame of mind to be in. When i say i am on a diet, i am always hungry.. if i say i am changing my lifestyle, I WILL be successful.

    Denise is so right!! It's a lifestyle change not a diet because if you think diet, it's more of a temporary mind-set... That is also different for me this time - thanks for that!!

    This site is great. I've had my moments but over all I LOVE mfp. I'm just getting back into the groove myself. Feel free to add me.
