Need motivation to get started and keep going

Unknown

First time doing this. Looking to loose weight and maintain it. What can I say I love food and can't seem to say no to excessive eating and temptations when I start a diet. I guess a little moral support might do me some good

feel free to add me. the more accountability friends the better 2 years ago i had like 280 active mfp friends. 20 of them might be active now. i'd like to build that up again. it's a huge motivator! anyone can add me!

Hi Captn, I started yesterday. I just quit smoking a month ago. I figured if I can do that I can lose weight. I am about to go out for a walk now. Good luck to you!

I am about 265 right now. I put on 30 pounds from some meds. I took myself off of them. My goal is to wear this Brewer shirt when my son and I go to a game in August. I am starting off with more movement this week. I walked to the store from the bank and then home. I rode my bike yesterday. Grabbed a bag of salad for Cinco De Mayo. Feel free to add me. I am hoping this first 30 pounds just falls off since it came on so quick.

Good to hear from everyone. Holy, good for you, glad to hear you quit smoking. Bluv, I'm a Cubs fan, but I can't think of a better motivation to loose weight. I have two little ones and it will be worth it. I'm also trying to loose weight so I can do more activities with them this summer.You'll be wearing that Brewers shirt in no time. Happy 5 de Mayo. Good luck to everyone and let's keep posting our progression. Corinna you're right accountability is a good trend setter. Let's kick butt and crush our goals.

Had a good day yesterday, started with a 45 min walk. Ate super healthy, mainly greens and fruit. Highly motivated to get this weight off.

Want to add me? I'm a Cubs fan, too! Born and raised in Wrigleyville.

I've decided to not look at this as taking foods out of my diet (as I've done many times) but instead adding them. My goal is making it through the month of May having at least a serving of veggies and/or fruits with each meal. If I make it, I'll buy myself a Ninja blender for my birthday in June.

Hi Melissa, that sounds like a good plan. I'm taking out carbs from mine diet and doing what you're doing, adding veggies. Good luck and let me know how you like the Ninja blender when you buy. GO CUBS

Just remember...motivation gets your started, consistently keeps you going. Even on my bad days, I remember why I started. Motivation left me years ago.

I want you to know you can do this! I have logged in for over 465 days and I have no plans to stop! After gaining over 50 pounds while pregnant with my daughter. I had skyrocketed to 226 pounds. When she was born in November of 2013, I lost around 25 pounds on my own. I was disgusted with my progress and thought I was doing everything right. See, I was eating "healthy foods," but I was eating too much of those foods! My friend had told me about My Fitness Pal. My husband suggested we try this diary. We joined in February of 2014. We kept and still keep track of everything we put into our bodies and it really does work. I now weigh 139 pounds. My husband went from weighing 260 pounds to 189 pounds! We tell everyone we know about My Fitness Pal. Don't get down on yourself and know that if you have a lot to lose, it won't happen overnight, but it will happen.

Thank you Tmorton, it's nice to hear those words. Iheart, that's my biggest obstacle. Consistency and long term commitment.
