in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I'm 37 and from the UK. I'm not exactly new to MFP but haven't participated in the community side of things until now. I've just used it to log food but have a tendency to slip in and out of the good habits and have gained back 5 of the 7 pounds I lost during the summer. I'm more determined to stay on track this time and have committed to at least a month off wine :ohwell: - not the best time of year for it I suppose but it has to be done! Let me know if you have similar goals or difficulty sticking to them!

    Yes, of course I do! I have had false starts many times in the past, where I am good for a month or two and then fall back in to bad habits. I feel strongly that I am ready to do it for good now, though, and my friends here are a huge help. Good on you for taking the step to return and stay on track. You can do it!!

    I've lost 25lbs since joining mfp, and think I am close to my goal weight, yet to start "maintaining" though, reckon that could be hard! Best of luck though, I couldn't have done it without logging on mfp and a few special friends :o)
