NEED BUDDIES & MOTIVATION!

edited November 8 in Introduce Yourself
I just started MFP last week (after having an account for months) and so far I'm doing really well. I'm down 4 lbs already which is amazing. For some reason this time around seems to be easier and more organized than I was in my previous weight loss journeys. I'm finding out that the trick is..... TO PLAN! I have to have my days organized and planned out or else I won't succeed. Hopefully I form a habit to where I don't have to plan as much and I'll eventually just learn to do the right thing.

In the meantime, I'm looking for new buddies to meet, share stories with and lose with. My family and most of my friends aren't on the "health" kick like I am so I kinda feel alone in this. Having friends on here that I can relate to will totally help.

Can't wait to meet some of you! :-)

    feel fee to add me, I am a regular gym goer and love the outdoors too, and will help encourage you.
    Planning is the way forward, I plan at least 5 days meals in advance and shop from a list so I do not binge or buy unnecessary things.
    Good luck!

    I'm in the same boat as you. I joined months ago but did not stay on top of it. I am finally back and ready to get to business. So far ive been working out regularly for the past 2 weeks but could also use encouragement. Feel free to add me and we can share experiences. =)

    Hi,

    Your story sounds similiar to mine. I joined months ago per my brother's recommendation but didn't really do anything. I'm back here with a lot of motivation, but I know I will need more for those days when the motivation starts fading away. Let's support each other :o)

    HI! I'm new to posting here too. I agree with you about planning - there's less of a chance for me to grab something less healthy if I've planned what I'm going to have. I need to work on planning some exercise next. I'll send you a friend request so we can help each other.

    :smile: Feel free to add me. I can relate well with you. None of my family or friends are really into the health, or weight loss thing so it makes it difficult. It is always good to have friends to help support one another, and the more the merrier I think!

    I joined a while back. Lost 13 pounds. But put it back on. Although when I weighed myself again I was 7 less than I thought I was! I've lost 4 pounds this week. I have only used the app to count calories. I don't have any pals. And really need help with motivation! I'm not keen on exercise. Have only lost weight through food.

    Hi :)

    It's great to see you are feeling more concentrated and organised with MFP! I definitely agree that planning is vital. When I plan ahead, I do well. When I don't plan ahead, I hit problems and eat the wrong things!

    If you would like to add me as a friend, feel free! The more support for each other the better! I'm 23, from the UK and aiming to lose 6st overall, at least 2.5st of which I want to lose by mid-April xo

    Hello! My name is Jessica. I have been on this website before and I didn't have the motivation to continue. I hope to get back on track. I have been married 3 months and I lost 15lbs for that. After the wedding, I unfortunately let myself go a bit and I wish to get back on track.

    I'm in the same exact boat! I joined MFP about six months ago and always stop using it after a couple weeks. I really want to stick to it this time and need some motivation! My friends aren't too into going to the gym or eating healthy and I always feel weird going to eat with them because I make special request. I'm hoping to find some motivation, support and friends on here to make this weight loss stick this time. I'm going on my first cruise ever in May and starting grad school in the fall and want to be in shape for both! I'll send you a request and hopefully we can motivate each other. Any one else can feel free to request me too! I need all the motivation to do cardio I can get :)
