Not posted before, thought I could do this on my own. I was doing OK, then whoops!! lost my way. Have put back on what I lost, plus an extra 5 lbs. Emotional eating and drinking. Need to get back into it again but think I need extra support to keep me in check. Head is now clear and back feeling motivated and positive. Think maybe if I had a few friends to keep me motivated I might keep going this time. I can offer the same support back. x

    Trying to do better this is hard. I am bloated and have reflux. i am trying to do a natural weight loss pill too. Sick of this. Over 200 lbs is the biggest I have ever been and I am struggling ! I have logged in this week but last time was 3 weeks ago. When I weighed in Jan i was 222.5 now I am 213. I need someone to help me stay motivated.

    I am struggling to with staying with it, have lost 8 pounds since Jan, I'm not finding it easy with work shifts and studying, however I am still keeping up with my Wii Yoga routine, I'm also on a wheat and gluten free diet, which tends to quite a bit higher in calories, anyway that's enough of my excuses. So what I'm saying is you can add me and maybe us girls can all jolly each other up, regardless of whatever else we have to deal with in our lives, let's do something for ourselves. :smile: :smile: :smile:

    Hey, if you guys would like something fun to do that includes lots of people, I created a group today. It's The March Challenge. A group of us commented on a thread and came up with different exercises to do for the month of March. Here's the link. Hope you join! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups

    I think when you start on this journey you can lose your way until you get the correct mindset. I do think using MFP really helps if you log your food and exercise daily. Also I love the fact that if you do exercise you can eat more (healthy food of course!).

    Just keep trying, you will get there. I thought I never would but I have:)

    You are welcome to add me.

    Good luck:smile:

    We've all lost our way at some point...I guess. Im usually a self starter, self-motivated person; but NOT when it comes to diet and exercise! And it doesn't help that my boyfriend is itty bitty and LOVES to bring his junk food home! Anyways, you guys feel free to add me and we'll see what we can work out!

    Hi

    Sent you an add request. Know what you mean about losing your way I have done it many times. Tried all sorts of diets in the past and put any loss back on plus a bit more. This site is great and after a week I have really got into it and am enjoying the support and motivation provided.

    Good Morning! I have just started this journey on here myself for support, guidance and I alos love to motivate others but usually it's face to face. Sign me up and we can chat back and forth if you'd like!

    You can do this! Minute to minute, I say to myself. I have an addictive personality and the best way for myself to go into this is thinking of food as my addiction and security blanket. I have switched around the past few years from smoking, drinking, sugary foods, fattening foods, blah blah blah. There's more time for that another day!

    So tell me about you! where do you live? what do you like to do? who do you have for a face to face support group?

    My Mama shared with me the other day something they talk about in Weight Watchers is to just move, so I commute and I have been tapping my foot, shaking my hips and doing bicep curls on the 180 mile around trip I do twice a week for school. I have to say I have notcied some firmness :) Whoot WHHOOT!!


    Toodles,

    C

    I think it's great that you are coming back to this. I saw a quote yesterday that really hit/helped me. Maybe it will help you too. "If you're sick of starting over...than stop giving up. " ....well it was something like that. I am going into this journey with that mindset. You can add me. I would love to help support you through this. Good Luck. You can do it!
