Starting Over

Options
Hello!

I signed up for MFP about 4 months ago, but didn't utilize all the tools it offers. I seemed to have lost track and not logged in for about 2-2 1/2 months, and it seemed to hurt my progress. So I have decided this morning that I am going to start over and try again.

I think one of my biggest problems was MOTIVATION. So I decided to finally introduce myself and say hi! I'm 25 and have struggled with my weight since I was in high school and I'm trying to shed it. I am looking for friends to add to keep me motivated and help me stay on track.

Nice to meet ya'll!

    Hey!

    I'm 21 and have come quite a way on this crazy journey. Maybe not as far as some, but I'm still proud. Both of my parents are on the plumper side and have some health problems. I'm hoping for a better future. Also, when I lost much of the weight, I joined the military. Now I'm just trying to lose those last few pesky pounds.

    It's good to see that you have the desire to get back on track. Many people struggle with motivation. What exactly made you want to come back?

    I started back on the first and could used all the encouragment I can get. I'm off to a good start losing weight already. I realized I hold onto my weight when I eat carbs and dairy so I have cut them out and noticed a difference immediately. Don't get me wrong I do eat carbs that are in my fruits and veggies and I have not cut out dressing but even with that I have noticed a big difference in the scale. It is a pleasure to meet you and I would love to be part of your support team!
