@MireyGal76 You are an inspiration to me and an awesome role model for your girls. They will grow up learning healthy living is fun and just how you live. Great mom! :smiley:

JFT, 6/1 1. Log my food. Just do it! 2. At least 90 min of yard work. 3. Send friend requests on MFP for more motivation and support.

All you ladies can add me. I have about 50 pounds to lose and I need support to stay motivated!! I'm so terrible at logging my food, struggling to exercise daily...I am making MFP a habit though and focused on baby steps toward lifestyle changes. Start: 198 Current: 194.5 after first week :)

@samgill133 way to go 12 days smoke free!! That is awesome. Keep it up. :)

I'm with you, staying motivated is hard. Banana muffin and raisin bran for breakfast.......how did that equal 923 calories??! I think this is why I don't log my food intake consistently. Seriously, 278 calories for the rest of the day?!!

@KetoneKaren I love the idea for pre-logging my Dove chocolate so I won't feel I'm cheating. Sugar is my biggest challenge and it's so much easier to get through the day if I know I have my Dove waiting for me in the evening!!

BTW, the research shows it DOES help with weight loss. It's worth a try:)

I'm just getting into the MFP community for the first time. I'm feeling motivated just by reading this post. I relate to so much of it. I will be checking in daily for more motivation!

High levels of stress for long periods can make it difficult to lose weight. Your cortisol level goes up--that's what triggers the fight or flight instinct. When cortisol levels stay high your body hordes calories for the fight or flight that never comes. That said, calories do count too. Try meditation for 5-10 minutes at…

I can so relate to that. At least you logged them! Every day is a chance to start fresh.

I like to snack in the evening too. I'm surfing community discussions for a few nights to break the one little piece of Dove chocolate after dinner habit. That habit is so hard to break! I'm hoping I'll come across some new friends for support and motivation while I'm at it.

@Alluminati I like Body by Christ or Jumpin' for Jesus for that new thread name

I'm 47, 198 (highest ever) and put on pounds in a stressful job. I have a new job, new attitude and want to stay motivated to lose about 45 pounds. I typically start out gung ho and burn out fast like a shooting star!! You guys sound like the perfect group of people who will help me stay motivated.
