  • @mwyvr I never thought to use the word commitment. Thank you for putting it this way. I needed to hear real talk today to help me keep pushing through. Motivation and willpower are fleeting. Commitment and discipline are more reliable. :)

  • I was diagnosed at 23 and each time I've attempted to lose some weight it's been a struggle. Please feel free to add. I'll need to find these MFP groups for PCOS support. Having this condition certainly makes this journey much more difficult.

  • I'm also re-starting as of last week. I'm at 285 myself. I'll send the request. It's going to be challenging but we can't give up! :)

  • It took me a while to get into the right mindset to start again as well. It's been years since I last felt this determined. I've got 125lbs to go. We can do this! B)

    in 100 Pounds Down! Comment by esmie3 April 2015
  • I was diagnosed with PCOS at age 23 along with being told I was pre-diabetic. At the time, I weighed 310 lbs and had gone about 6 months without my period as well. While not having it was sort of nice, I knew it wasn’t normal. My doctor wanted to put me on cholesterol lowering medication but I refused and said I’d rather…

  • Good job on your progress so far! You're almost half way there. I'm restarting and hopefully stick with this permanently. I'll send a request. :smile:

  • How about making a pros and cons list? If you list all the benefits of taking back control vs. not doing so, you may get some of that motivation back. Since my boyfriend and I got together, I gained 60lbs (3 years). I was doing well and was beginning to get into good habits before I met him but I found it too easy to go…

  • I've started on this journey (again) but I'm feeling really good about it this time. I need accountability friends as well. Changing a life time of habits is hard. Not having people supporting you or cheering you on and having too many enablers around makes it even harder. Feel free to add me. :smile:
    in Accountability Friends Wanted! Comment by esmie3 April 2015
  • I think a problem with going on a f*** you diet is that your motivation might only last as long as your anger/hurt. Like other people have said, you have to do this for you and your well-being. There is nothing wrong with flaunting and looking at their sour faces once you've reached your goal though. :smile:
    in Need to do this - please help Comment by esmie3 April 2015
  • Hi everyone, I've been on and off MFP for the last three years but struggled to keep up the motivation to see this through. I've re-started since last Monday and I'm feeling really good about it this time. I have 100+ to lose and I'm down 3 lbs since last week. So, I guess I'm off to a good start. I made my diary open to…
