Alrighty,first off im a noob here.Only to the sight not weight loss.
When i was a child i was always over weight.
Freshmen year of highschool i was about the mid 190's.
That is untill i started band.That got me out of the house and moving.
After my 1st and second years went by i had lost 20 pounds.
my junior and senior years i joined Tennis and swimming and was walking too and from school almost all of the time.I cut out fried foods and stopped drinking soda.I even stopped craving and eating alot of sweets.After that i went down to to 135.
After high school it all kinda went down hill.
I moved in with a friend.Started bad eating habits and was constantly playing video games and online. After 3 or 4 months of sitting around
i started conditioning for the local collage tennis team which had me out running and playing for 4 or 5 hours at a time. this was for a few months..My weight never went down and that was rather upsetting .Once i found out i didnt have enough units to be on the team i stopped going all together.
I have become rather depressed and disgusted with myself.its very frustrating.
ive recently picked up a second job so im busy alot and dont find much time for "being healthy" but id really like to try .Ive done it once before ...it just seemed so effortless then. i could really use some support!

Welcome - I have only been here a couple of months (or rather I have only been USING the site for a couple of months) hope you find it as uselful as I do. Just logging what eat and knowing what I should be eating - along with being able to easily see how much excersise I need to take for "earn" enouch calories for a treat has really helped me. (dropped 10lb last month - less this month but its still a drop !) hopefully it will you and if you have a smartphone so you can use the app to log snacks and drinks when your out and about before you "forget" about them better still. Feel free to add me if you want some support 0

Welcome! I use the ap on my smartphone a lot! When i go to a restaurant, i usually check to see what the nutrition info is on MFP before i order anything. It really makes me think of what to eat and what NOT to eat when dining out. I think my kids think im addicted to the ap! LOL0

Hey Welcome to MFP!! With that attitude I reckon you're going to have a whale of a time here :-D I've been here since Jan and I have to warn you....it's a bit addictive
I have a great group of friends but always looking for new, active people who actually want to change - I keep having to prune off the people who just seem to want to play pokemon ! Feel free to add me
Ooooh, and what video games btw? 0 -
Thank you somuch for the welcomes guys! X3

ADDICTIVE IS WHAT I NEED!
im looking for something that is more addictive than waiting around for a homestuck update. XD
Games lets see.
Gears of war 1 and 3 2 kinda sucked.
silent hill
res evil
heavy rain
halo
Minecraft
dwarf fortress
terraria
Zelda.
and what ever keeps my attention. XD0 -

Welcome to MFP!!! :flowerforyou: It can be so frustrating trying to lose weight and as you said it seems so effortless when we remember previous attempts but i definitely think it all boils down to frame of mind. Just relax and think about what you are going to eat and how you can fit in some exercise. Take it slow and change small things so it doesn't seem so daunting. You'll ease back into it no probs. I've just sent you a friend request so you can update me on ur progress. Good luck!!!! :drinker:0

Welcome. You will love this site. I only started last week and had my first WI this morning and i lost 3lb. I love filling in my food and exercise record everyday. It really keeps me motivated especially with my exercise. Love going for a run and filling in my exercise tracker just to see how many calories i have burnt.0

Love Zelda!!
And yeah, totally addicitve xD I should actually be working at the moment..... but I'd rather be running (whatthe hell is happening to me) so as a compromise I'm neither working, nor running, but haunting the forums and blogs here 0 -
