    It is hard doing this alone at home, but it is possible! The support you get on MFP will help you tons! I'm on this site a lot, just for the constant success stories and encouragement. Add me if you like!

    Hi there,
    Happy to be a support to you...........we all need it! For me to not lose motivation, I have to do it ONE STEP AT A TIME!! You don't have to do it perfect (is there such a thing????), just get up one more time and DO IT! Portion size is soooo important! What I do is try to keep my measuring spoons and cups close by (or even IN my dry food). Logging your food helps too. Keep your chin up! :happy:

    Hi I am happy to give you support. When my kids all left home I was getting into the habit to cook what was easy or grab take out. This year I am using the biggest loser cookbooks as a guide and have enjoyed getting back to cooking real food. Most recipes are very quick to put together and very generous in portions. Calories are worked out and I log everything in MFP. This really helps me. I don't seem to get hungry and sometimes aren't even looking for snacks even though you can have them.
