I have started the weight loss journey many, many times in the past. I will go strong for a few weeks and then just slack off or begin to sabotage my efforts, all the while, making excuses. It's now time for complete honesty with myself- what I eat, my sedentary lifestyle and lack of motivation. So far I have set a poor example for my children, it's now time to step up my game for my kids but most importantly for myself.

    Welcome to MFP! Here the people are supportive and caring. Each day you must make the choice to eat better and do some sort of activity. If you know you will be busy for the day and not able to work out make sure you DO NOT go over your calories!!! The days you work out meet your protein requirements. Learn to park further away at the store so you can get a little more exercise. Add your veggis and fruits, drink lots of water, and do not go over your carbs either!!! Weigh yourself when it works for you! Make sure you get someone to work with you either by phone, e-mail, or going to the gym with you! Good Job starting this journey! You can do it! We all are here to encourage you too!!!

    Hi All!!! Just restarted Jenny Craig today. Weighed in at 204.2. I have never been over 200 before, even when I was 9 months pregnant with my kids. This has been a really rough year. But today is a new day and I'm so excited to start this journey. This site looks amazing!!! Can't wait to use it!
