Well, here I am, introducing myself once again. I've been down this road too many times to count- introduce myself, make some great friends, start to see some progress, become overwhelmed, and then disappear for months at a time. It's a cycle that needs to be broken. TODAY!

I've made some drastic changes in my life over the past 12 months and feel more positive and happier than ever. I started working out and eating right (again) about 2.5 months ago and I can definitely feel the effects both emotionally and physically.

I am only going in one direction now- forward! No turning back!

Hello, my name is Wendi and this is 'MY TIME'!

    That is what started it for me. I lost over 30kg (66lb) last year

    I am truly with you! Today is my day and for many of the same reasons. My cycle of on and off almost mirrors yours. I just got finished with my previous disappearing act after doing well again too.

    Today is my first day back and I could truly use the support. :)


    Welcome back, AGAIN! LOL

    hi everyone!,
    my name is Rachel and this is day three for me on mfp. last year i lost a bunch of weight due to work and emotional stress. throughout the year i watched it slowly creep back on and much to my displeasure im right back where i started. im an actress and a dancer by trade and image and fitness is very important in my line of work. i did weight watchers years ago when i quit smoking and had some success. i initially started journaling in a notebook and using the old ww points system to keep track. then a friend pointed out mfp. already im finding the system to be much easier and i havent notebook journaled in two days. i just hope mfp is as successful for me as ww, if not more.
