in Introduce Yourself
After downloading my fitness pal a few months back my start weight was 168lb. i stuck rigidly for a week or so and lost 6lb. Since then i have done absolutley nothing to help my weight loss so logged onto my app after discussing it with my friend (donnaobrien43) and advising her to try it. Today I weighed in at 194lb. i was gonna change my original starting weight to todays weight but left my original 168 as a harsh reminder!!!!
Im gonna use the community this time and be brutally honest with myself and share my ups and downs!! I cant remember the last time i excercised but intend on changing that!!
So hello to everyone and good luck and look forward to chatting to new friends on here

    Hi,Its deja vu for me too! I tried halfheartedly last year and did manage to shift a few pounds but just gave up over christmas and it seems like I was actually on a mission to pile on the pounds as I ate at least my body weight in chocs etc!
    Absolutely have to lose weight this year,I am creeping up to the big 50 and if I am not in better shape by then I will just cry! so onwards n upwards,nose to the grindstone etc etc,I WILL get healthy and slimmer this year! New year,New me!!!! Good luck to everyone ,remember life's not a rehearsal!!!! x x x

    I am brand new here & starting on my weightloss/exercise journey today as well. I took off 5 months & that certainly was not a good idea!

    The fact you're being accountable & choosing to continue your journey not give up is just the right attitude! I got deterred, lazy & took a "break" around the 3rd week of November after being consistent for 90+ days...I'm up .6 which doesn't seem terrible but when it could have been down 12-16, well you get the picture :). Thats why its a journey don't focus on the missteps just keep focused on your daily goals each day & if you slip try again you'll be looking back in no time. & good idea support is paramount best wishes!
