in Motivation and Support
I’m new to MFP and have never been as serious about my health and weight loss goals as I am now! I’m 31, 5’1 and 216lbs. I’m a little over a year and a half into my addiction recovery! It’s been a long yet rewarding road! I’ve taken the past few months to unlearn some bad habits and make room for better ones. Id really like to make some friends that I can be there for and vice versa! Shoot me a reply or even a friend request with a message! I’d love to chat and talk about our goals!

    Hiya! I've been dipping in and out of MFP for over a decade, but I've NEVER had a support buddy and really think that this would make all the difference. I'm 36, 5'10" and maybe 177 lbs (haven't weighed recently). I generally eat pretty healthy ingredients (lots and lots of whole foods and not much sugar) but haven't been portioning my food. I am also wildly sedentary. I worry that if I don't get fit before my thirties are over, I never will. I also think a lot about how diet and fitness impact my mental and emotional health. Anyway, it would be great to connect and share goals! HUGE congrats on your 1.5 year recovery! That's AMAZING!!

    Welcome to MFP! Congrats on your resolve and commitment to shed old habits and desire to create new positive ones.

    I've been on this rollercoaster for years and do very well for awhile, only to fall off and back to unhealthy ways.

    One thing I've learned is to stay consistent and be persistent and good things will happen!

    Day one for me over here. I’ll be 40 in Aug and I was really hoping I’d be at my goal weight by now, but I always let myself get derailed from my good habits. I actually enjoy going to the gym, but got a stomach bug recently and haven’t been back. I need to limit sweets better. And also give myself grace when I’m pms’ing. So maybe we can cheer each other on?

    LOL I love these posts where everyone invites everyone else to add them but won't invite anyone themselves...

    And yes, I'm guilty of it too 😑

    I need to apologize to everyone, it wasn't aimed at anyone except me because I'm guilty of doing this all the time. Please feel free to add me (there I go again) if you want a good friend who will help motivate and share experiences.
