Hey Guys,

I have started this journey many many times now and at least two times on here on My Fitness Pal. Somehow I always seem to end up losing my way.

Anyway this is not about excuses and this time I intend to make a life change for good. I have no reason to believe that this time will be any different from before other than this bizarre feeling I have inside of me to get fit and healthy.

For the first time I am actually looking forward to the challenge ahead of me.

I would be delighted to have as many like minded people join me on this journey and so if you are looking to add to your friends list I would be very happy to have you along for the ride. Who knows I may even find some of the people I was friends with on here before.

    Good luck! I'm in sort of the same boat as you. And I think you're right...this time you're gonna make it :) There's something about having the power of belief on your side that really helps!

    I feel you. This is my third time under a third different name. I think the important thing is that we keep coming back and trying. I'm NOT going to give in to this and I encourage you to keep on keeping on as cliche' as that sounds. I need help just like many people on here do. Add me if you like and maybe we can encourage one another.

    I am starting again as well. I lost a good amount of weight before and one day I just stopped. Like you said, this is not about excuses. We CAN do this. Feel free to add me for support!!

    Hi, welcome back, I've been yo-yoing on and off here since just after Christmas despite a brilliant start, but this time I'm determined to see it thru to the end. Feel free to add me ;0)

    Hiya! I lost all motivation following several weeks of illness, no internet etc. Need to get back on it before I undo all my good work!! Feel free to add me - I'm planning to get back on the wagon on Monday :bigsmile:

    I'm like you too, I can't think how many times I have started dieting, exercise and using MFP and then given up several weeks later. I'm determined that this will be the last time - this is also the first time I've used the message boards, so hopefully we can all motivate ourselves and each other :)

    Know the feeling - this time I'm serious - my 16th day - that makes it about 15 days more serious than the last time! Good luck, feel free to add me as a friend.

    Hi There!

    I am new again too. Sigh. But I want, and believe, this time can and will be different.
    I need to stay connected so each day is like the first day, and not begin to drift into isolation when I eat something I really shouldn't have, am embarrassed and ashamed and then become depressed just to start that negative cycle again.
    Darn those shame spirals!

    Let's do this....enough is enough! (ode to the incomparable Donna Summer).

    Please add me as a friend as I don't have any on here either.

    Cheers,
    Tracy (aka Coruscate)

    PS. I started yesterday with my FitBit Ultra, a digital scale that uploads my weight body fat (which is a little sketchy) and my BMI. So when you add in this site, and the rockin' people on it, I have all the tools I need. Now to get off this couch!

    Thank you all for your awesome support. I already look like I have been here for a while with a good few new friends on the friends list. Helps to make me feel accountable too having friends to report to if you know what I mean.
