    Stephy, i'm with you. This program is really helping me to hold myself accountable for what I eat. It takes 3 weeks to make a habit so lets shoot for that 3 weeks! I'm with you. Are you with me?

    Hi I completely empathise with you and know how you feel. All during the week I eat well and stay on track then as soon as the weekend comes I blow the diet and probably eat more rubbish food than I would of all week,. This is why I have joined myfitness to try to stay focussed. I think that by us tracking our calories we can realise we can have treats whenever we want but just in moderation! Good Luck

    Hi, I have been doing this for 3 weeks now using MFP. I have lost 7 lbs using it. I find that it keeps me on target and makes me more accountable. It is an awesome tool.

    I definintely am a big believer in the strength of community. having friends on here helps to hold me accountable in both my exercise and eating and i am able to receive encouragement when i am not doing so well so that i do not completely fall off of the fitness wagon.
    feel free to add me as a friend if you would like! :)

    i have a problem with commitment too .
    so what i am doing is making small goals (not just weight)

    March 2nd i joined and promised myself to log in for 30 days ( goal met im on day 35)
    now i am working on 5 days a week workouts for this month

    basically baby steps :)
    each month i will add on a new goal , it helps

    and of course just take this 1 day at a time , each day wake up and say " i can do it, i am worth it"
    it will become habit/second nature

    good luck hun , feel free to add me if you like

    Hey everyone, i'm just like you 2 weeks and the workouts go completely out the window, however i keep to portion control and walking til i'm ready to continue with my regular walking, which may help when you feel down or not too keen! But i'm ready and back in the game! Lost some weight recently and it's time to get the rest off! :D I'm definitely in this to win it! Feel to add me i need some motivation too. Good luck on your journeys.

    Do it for you!! You deserve it! But most of all DO IT!!

    Friend me if you like, but be sure to stay engaged and keep working at it. You'll have tons more energy. You will find that you like what you are doing and after a certain amount of time, it is a habit and then you have a healthy lifestyle.

    DO NOT GO ON A DIET.. Change instead.. and make it a healthy life. Make small changes first and move into the larger ones. You need to start though so DO IT!!


    Stay strong :)

    I agree! I am a mother of 3. For years I have yo yo dieted and I never can keep it off. I am tired of it. This has got to be it for me. I cannot continue to do this. This is the heaviest I have ever been in my life. I need support and motivation. I find I need it more now because this is like the upteenth time I have dieted. Anybody wanting to stay in daily and/or every other day check in and reporting, I am totally with it. Let's do this!

    I am the same way as well. I have tried everything I can think of to stay motivated and I still seem to give up after a couple of weeks. I usually take a day off to rest then do not want to go back. I think that I need something like this so that I am held accountable and have support when I need it. I think it is a lot easier if you have a team so friend me if you would like I am looking for new friends for motivation and support. Good luck.

    that sounds like me lol.. i have been using mfp for a little over a month now and i have lost 11 pounds. i think charting and logging your food and exercise helps especially when u start seeing results..i could use some help staying motivates as well add me and we will see if we can keep each other motivated. I know a great web cite that has free full length hit cardio videos. good luck.. Hope to hear form ya.
