Hi! I joined MFP a couple of months ago and LOVE it!! =) I've seen so many friends on here fall off though..."jane doe hasn't logged in for X weeks". I'm trying not to lose momentum or motivation! Could use all the help I can! =)

    here are a few tips that I found to work for me:
    1. Make MFP your home page
    2. Log in EVERYDAY, read the message boards... post.. Keep your mind actively thinking about it.
    3. Don't try to change too much at once, Implement 1 change every week or so. Little tweeks over time seem to work best or at least better than butt load of change all at once
    4. Always be honest. We al fall on our way to the top, be honest, no one is judging you here... we all support eachother
    5. Keep trying new things until you find what works for you (It took me a while to find my plan and it works great for me but I wouldn't push it on anyone else)
    6. Its easier to lift weights than the burdens of carrying weight.
    7. take it one day at a time.
    8. Have a cheat day or meal, where you eat what you want
    9. Try to talk to yourself as if you are talking to your child or loved one. Often times the thing we need most is to be a better friend to ourselves.
    10. Smile. :)
    I don't wish people good luck, I never had it and don't need it! Luck doesn't get you through this... hard work does!

    Welcome to MFP :) You can add me if you would like and as the other guy said before. Log in everyday and be honest and keep yourself motivated and you will do fine. Have a treat (not cheat) meal every now and then so you dont feel deprived.
