in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone :) I'm sort of new to MFP (started in September but I got bored of it easily) I am hoping that this try will bring me better results. I'm 20 years old (almost 21), been heavy my whole life and really want to change the way I look. I've lost weight before (25 pounds) and it was much easier than I expected, but I can't seem to keep my motivation going. Since losing that weight I gained it all back due to some issues in life. I'm hoping to find some new friends that could help me with my goal of losing 50 pounds :)

    I like you have struggled with my weight my entire life (I'm now 33). I also have lost weight before had life issues and gained it back. I decided it was time to get serious and stop planning it or "meaning to" and just do it. I also was afraid I would get bored with this, but I found the key that works for me. I have made it a challenge. I try to see how I can get the most for my calories. It has also been a learning experience about how many calories are in things. I have found several low calorie "healthy" junk food options that really are good. Also found so low calorie desert alternatives to take the edge off when I'm having a craving. Try making it into a challenge for yourself and don't freak if you have an off day. Good luck!!!!!!!

    Friend are important to hit your goals.

    i started on Feb 12th and have lost 110 lbs so far. I'm now at 250lbs and healthier than any other time of my life. Got another 50lbs to go...but no problem with MFP by my side.

    These are life changing goals that take commitment and dedication. I only go to McDonalds to use thier WiFi !!
