Hi MFP's. Im Jessica, and after about 6 months off this page and then losing focus during the holidays, I am bringing myself back. I didnt realize how much of a help this page was w/ keeping track of my food but also the motivation and tips, etc that complete strangers were so kind to give..it literally kept me going. It's 2012 and i've gained some "holiday weight"...haha but a trip to the shore this June w/ the family has me motivated to kick it back into gear and anyone willing to help keep the friendly fire lit under my butt....I'm for it :) God Bless!

    I hear you exactly. I used MFP from May-October last year and lost the weight I wanted to lose, but then the holidays got the best of me and I put on 10+lbs. Now I am back at it with MFP because I needed the support and motivation and the accountability of logging my food intake, it really helps a lot! Good luck getting to your goal before vacation!

    I am in the same boat as you. I stopped using MFP, and then with the holidays I lost myself and gained about 7 pounds. I am back and stronger than ever. We can do this. I sent you a friend request. Maybe we can help eachother :) Good Luck!!!!

    Without this site I would still be in denial that I was "eating healthy". Welcome back!!

    It wasn't the holidays that got me off track but I'm in the same boat... Used the site for 9 months or so and then stopped for 6 months. Only gained back about 5lbs but I wasn't at my goal when I stopped.

    So I'm getting back into it as well. =]
