in Motivation and Support
Hi everyone,

I am, probably like everyone else, not looking forward to summer. I have many a trips away, a few weddings to attend and just generally less clothing to wear (ha!) and want to look and feel my best. I've recently gained back about 10lbs and feel like crapola. I know I feel better when I eat well and exercise, so just trying to get back into the swing of things.

Really want to push myself and stay on track with the diet for the whole month of May (well, starting today, but we'll just say May for the fun of it). I dont have any issues with making myself exercise or whatever, I love to run and do spin classes, makes me feel great. My problem is eating.. I eat, a lot.. a lot a lot. I cant do the whole moderation thing. I eat one bad thing and just spiral out of control until everything in the fridge is gone. I love junk food. Yum. Thinking about it now is not the best idea..

What really helps, apart from all the usual tips and tricks (drink water, keep busy, think about your dream body/goal weight) is the unconditional lovely support from MFP friends!

Sooooo what I was thinking / wondering was if anyone wants to join me on my crazy May challenge / deadline, I think I'm pretty supportive and motivating, would love to help someone reach their goals if you'll help me stay on track!

Just an idea, please add me if you have a deadline by end of May too :) got the idea from another discussion about a group, but it was closed by the time I saw it, and I dont know how to create / maintain a group, this just seem easier to me lol.

Kristen

    I just added you from the other Intro Board you did but I am also trying to get down 10 lbs (since I lost 2) by the end of May. My husband and I are going on a mini-moon and I need to be bikini ready!

    Definitely!! Had a looong plateau, mostly due to losing momentum and falling off the wagon. 10lbs in a month sounds like a good challenge, count me in!

    I'm definitely in, my problem with trying to lose weight was always due to being not motivated enough, but if i'm in a challenge with other people and they are starting to lose weight that gives me the extra push to prove to them that I can do it too.

    I'm in. I have a wedding on June 2nd, and I want to lose 10lbs by then to fit into a size 12.
    I suppose I'm going more by measurements though, I need to lose 4 inches off my bust, 2 inches off my waist and five inches off my hips.
    I'm definitely giving it a bash though and having a bit of support/motivation can't hurt!

    I am with you in the May challenge. I have some weddings and events to go to. I am graduating in August. I want so bad to be down. I want to do 10 pounds per month till then.

    I feel you when you say you ♥ junkfood...cause I do to. I can never stop at one chip...never. It begins an endless spiral for me as well.

    We can do this. I have more than 10 to lose, but this will be a great start for me. Good luck!
