I started on myfitnesspal in January and was doing it off and on, lost focus and went back to my old habits. I was at the mall today and passed by a mirror in a dressing room and received a dose of reality. I have gained about 25 pounds in the last 11 months. :sad:

    Hey...hang in there. I just came out of a very stressful work effort (due to the economy), and
    knee surgery. I look and feel blach! But...we get back up, and start over again.

    You've got a great spirit about you...and that's what counts anyway...the person behind the eyes. So...stay the course, keep trying, never give up, and let the MFP family help you along ;-)

    You may have someone who'll join in to work out with you too!

    Cheers! :drinker:

    Let this be a less in 'losing focus'. You have the rest of your life to achieve what ever goal you set for yourself. Don't beat yourself up too much. I know it's corny but 'today really is the first day of the rest of your life'. I've always liked that one.
    Good luck,

    Sometimes we all need a little cheering squad of our own :) It's not an easy journey to make alone that's for sure!
