in Motivation and Support
For 7 years I have been fat. I had my son, lost all the baby weight, went to work at a call center, where they had tons of food, free soda, sitting at a desk all day, eating whatever I wanted... gained 51 lbs. I had my second son almost 4 years ago, I ended up only gaining 5lbs and then losing 25 lbs and gaining it all back and then some. I would try fad diets, pills.. not eat, ext. I would lose 5-7 lbs and then give up.

I am 35 days in on MFP and down 10 lbs. I am working out, eating better, and feeling really good about this. I am really surprised that I have kept going. I am actually doing this and it feels amazing!

I just felt like getting that out there :)

    Actually, I'm surprised a bit at myself, too, not that I've lost much weight since the first of March, but that I feel so accountable on everything I eat. You are doing great!! Keep it up and the best of luck to you!

    Your story mirrors mine exactly. Lost a few pounds gained them back and a little more. Dieted again, lost some more, lost interest, put weight on again, repeat, repeat, repeat ad nauseum. I'm 90 days in with mfp, lost 34 lbs so far. Feeling great, still motivated which is a big thing for me.

    Good luck and welcome to mfp.
