I used to be really commited to using MFP in the begining but all the friends I had at first I personally knew. Needless to say they no longer log in and so I've lost my motovaion some. I'm reaching out to anyone and everyone. I started loosing weight in November weighing 209 lbs with a 4 ft 11 in frame. For the first few months I used OTC Lipodrene, I called it my 10 lb miracle bottle. The first 2 bottles I lost 20 pounds taking it and then I started to Plateau so I decided to go see weight doctor. I am now taking phentermine, Nia, get B12 shots every month when I weigh in and last month she also prescribed CR7 to help with food craving. I am also taking 5-HTP, the pill form of Magnesium citrate to help keep me regular and womens one a day vitamin to help boost my metabolism. In the last 2 months taking Phentermine I've only lost 7 pounds. I have a gym membership and lost interest in that for a while too, I am determined to get back on track!!!! Please add me! I really need to stay focused and stay driven! Currently I am 175.6 and have lost 33 pounds, I still have about 40 to go! I need your help motovating myself and of course, to help give you the inspiration and motovation you need to help keep you going too!

    Whenever you feel like quitting, just youtube "Rocky Montage". I especially like the montage from Rocky IV.

    Thanks for your post. I am in the same boat and am trying "again" to get motivated. I am at 229 right now at 5' 7". My first
    goal is to get into the "Onederland" on the scale. My ultimate goal is to be about 155 lbs. I have been going to weight loss classes
    at my church once a week and get motivation there. The instructor used to be a Weight Watchers leader but the program she is
    with now is Total Fitness and combines good nutrition with exercise. I tried phenermine through the Drs. office once and it made me
    feel very jittery and did not really curb my appitite so I stopped it. I do water arobics 3X per week and try to do free weights as well.
    I have had 8 surgeries on my hip and had a total hip replacement 25 years ago so I cannot do rigorous exercise outside the water.
    Let's help each other stay motivated. Commit, Decide, Success! That is my new mantra. Summer is a great time for delicious fruits
    and trying new vegetables...good luck to you!

    Add me! I'll be a friend and motivation.
    For me, I've been on a rollar coaster of weight loss plans and strategies for years and years! And for all the wrong reasons. I started out doing cardio 3 days a week for 30 min, and eating more protein and less carbs. Now I've settled into eating Clean 80/20 and working out 6 days a week with Strength Training 3 days out of that. And I joined this site to better track my calories and find motivation and tips and tricks too.
    It's all about taking one step at a time. And if you fall get right back up, brush yourself off, and move forward another step. I have a saying on my bathroom mirror that says " I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday".
    You can do it!!
