| 115 lbs down so far and I feel amazing ;) Posted: 13 Mar 2020 01:10 PM PDT First of all excuse me if my reddiquette is horrible. Hey y'all. I'm Cody and I've been doing a weight loss journey for the past 18 months or so and It's actually starting to set in. I'm linking actual photos. On the left was a photo that started all of this for me. It was at a wedding for my cousin and once she handed them out I was mortified. I had zero idea what so ever I was that big. I've had my ups and downs with this and that's really shown in the roller coaster that is the graph of my weight. All I can say is that seeing everyone else has inspired me to share my journey as well. So thanks everyone and feel free to ask any questions. ;) The different in my neck is shocking https://imgur.com/a/2KzNhWr My lose it graph over the time. https://imgur.com/a/km7tfyj EDIT: Holy crap y'all. Someone even gave the post an award? Y'all are to much for me. Thank you so very much for the positive comments. Y'all made my week. ;) Another EDIT: Holy crap y'all. 300+? You're killing me with reddit kindness. Thank you so very much from the bottom of my now slightly skinnier heart. :D [link] [comments] |
| It’s taken me a full year, but I’m down 19 pounds as of today! Posted: 13 Mar 2020 05:54 PM PDT Hi guys! First post here! It's nice to meet you! As of last year March 14, 2019, I was at my highest weight of 268 pounds. (I'm female, 5'4") and I was having mild health issues that doctors predicted weren't going to get any better if I kept gaining. Now I weigh 239 pounds and it feels great! Last year, I was totally hopeless. My relationship with food was terrible. I ate out of pure boredom, which was often, and I had very little self-control. I didn't exercise. I hated exercise and it seemed like it hated me. I always felt exhausted and achy even just climbing the stairs. My waning health prompted me to start Weight Watchers and I wish I could tell you the journey was easy, but it wasn't. Weight Watchers did not make me feel proud for losing weight. I felt like I was in a competition and every week I compared myself to the other people in the room. I restricted calories and changed the way I ate, and incorporated more walking into my weekly activities, but each time the scale told me I hadn't lost a single pound, I felt like a huge failure. Eventually, I decided enough was enough and that if losing the weight this way was going to be at a cost to my mental health, then it wasn't worth it and in June of 2019 I walked away from WW. I was lost again. In three months I had only lost 5 pounds and yet, the journey to goal felt like it had lengthened in that time. (No hate to WW, but it just wasn't for me) Fast forward to now and I have a job that demands I be very active. I went from getting about 100-500 steps a day, to 3500-11000 steps a day in counting. I have learned that food doesn't have to all be eaten at once and I can pace myself and stop when I'm full. I've learned to trust my gut! I've noticed now that I look much better in my clothes, my waist has become a little more defined and my butt has been more rounded out. I still have a long way to go, but the changes so far are quite encouraging. I also get a lot more attention from guys now, as it seems the more confident I am, the more they notice me. (It doesn't really matter, but now I like that I have options) My goal weight is 190/200 pounds, and I have a strong feeling by next March I would have reached it. I don't really have any advice or words of wisdom except, that most of the time, it feels like I'm just winging this and I used to feel bad that I was winging this and not following a hard regimen or diet or something, but I realize my body doesn't like to feel intimidated or like it's failing and to be honest, I love my body. It has survived so much! So I don't care if I'm doing this whole living and losing weight unorthodox, as long as I'm being healthy and safe then who cares? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Mar 2020 06:49 AM PDT I started at 447 and weighed in today at 345.4. That's a 101.6 lb loss! I still can't believe I really made it to the triple digits in weight lost! I started by changing food first, by doing frozen meals like lean cuisines twice a day with beef jerky as a snack which really helped me get a handle on portion size. I also try to eat only vegetables and proteins. Recently, I've been eating a lot of salads. I get a bag of romaine or mixed lettuce from the grocery store and I add tomatoes or onions, a protein, and mustard for dressing, or mixed lettuce with a protein, and salsa for dressing. I usually do one of these salads as a big meal for dinner and keep to a smaller portion for lunch. The salads are really low calorie and they taste amazing. I'm still doing the frozen meals, but it's been really nice adding in fresh vegetables. I started eating breakfast when I started adding walking for 30 minutes a day back in January. I now eat 1-2 hard boiled eggs for breakfast with a cup of coffee which I drink black. For snacks, in the last week I cut out the beef jerky I used at first and I'm still adjusting to this change. I'm hoping to reduce salt intake with this change. I've tried carrots which work for me but I never remember to take them to work so I don't buy them much. I have started drinking a lot of teas since I've been craving sweets a bit more recently. I get diet Arizona green tea which has no calories and diet Snapple with has about 5-10 calories per serving and I only have one per day. I usually drink it around lunch which is when my sweet craving is the worst. I'm not really a sugar person, my craving is salt, so this works really well for me. For activity, I walk at least 30 minutes a day and have kept that up consistently for almost two months. I can walk further now than before in that same time frame. I'm over a mile in that time now where I was way under a mile before. I plan on continuing the salads and the frozen meals and I'll add in and change things as needed. I have struggled with cravings and yesterday was honestly just the worst, I spent the entire afternoon just telling myself no. I knew I wasn't hungry and that the cravings were all in my head. I've managed to resist the cravings mostly and yesterday was definitely a success. I have notes on my phone reminding me of why I'm doing this and those reminders really have helped me say no to food I know I shouldn't have. This has honestly been a life changing experience. I'm at a weight I haven't been to in years and I feel so amazing. I read on this subreddit basically everyday and it's been such a help. It's an amazing support network that I'm so glad I found it. Now, onto the next 100 lbs! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Mar 2020 06:33 PM PDT It has happened to me more than it should and it could honestly break someone's spirit. Let me point out what I mean: I posted on a group my starting photos with my stats, weight loss plan and an ask for advice and a little encouragment. I know how some of you feel about these kind of posts, but it was solely for me to finally "get it out there" and have no more exuses. Most of the comments were very empowering and motivating, there were even people with similar stats that wanted to get on this journey with me and start motivating ourselves day-to-day. BUT there had to be people way diffrent than that. I did rant a little about my situation and that I was unhappy about my weight at the moment and...that seemed to piss them off. They wrote how me putting my stats out there was demeaning their efforts and that "me complaining about these numbers makes those with bigger ones insulted". Exuse me? Everyone at any point can feel the need to better themselves and their concerns and efforts are just as valid, even if smaller than yours. Making It about yourself to just make this other person feel bad for, well, feeling bad about themselves is hella wrong. It only pissed me off, but I can see how someone could get sad by this, so please - try and avoid this behavior.

| [SV] I hit my first goal weight today! Posted: 13 Mar 2020 08:53 AM PDT Since jumping back on the losing train in November, I've lost 27.4lbs. I've lost weight through quitting drinking and restricting my calories. I also do Intermittent Fasting on an 18:6 schedule. As of a couple months ago I also started incorporating weight training in to my workouts at least 3 days a week. I'm happy to say my relationship with food has changed a lot. I've yoyo'd so much because I always felt like I was depriving myself of all the good food out there. The first time I started losing back in 2018 I was actually 225lbs! I was vigorous and disciplined for five months and dropped down to 180lbs. I immediately went back to bad habits and rose back up to 202lbs. The progress photo in this post is me at 202, and today at 174.6. When I decided to quit drinking (I'd had a problem for probably close to 10 years), I made several other healthy changes too. Because I wasn't getting drunk every night I was drinking more water, sleeping better, and making great food choices. I learned sober me really doesn't care for junk food because of how icky it makes me feel. I realised exercise can actually be enjoyable when you're not hungover or coughing up a lung because you smoke a pack a day. I've learned that I can be tired and lazy, and that's okay as long as it's not every day. To counteract some of my laziness I started meal prepping on Sundays. It's amazing. Everything is ready for me throughout the week and I know exactly how many calories I'm consuming. If I don't want to hit the gym that day, I'll ask myself "do you want to get stronger today? Or should we give ourselves a rest?" Often I'll go, but I won't feel guilty for taking time off either. I've been able to change my mindset. Diet and exercise are no longer a punishment for my unhealthy choices before. They're gifts to myself and future me. Healthy, sustainable gifts. I am now working on my second goal weight of 150lbs. I'm also seeing a massage therapist a couple times a month to help me with my posture. As you can see in my front photo, my shoulders are uneven. This is from years of bad posture and an awkward sleeping position. The massages I get and the stretches the RMT is teaching me is helping with this. Looking forward to checking back in in another 25lbs! Happy Friday everyone. [link] [comments] |
| I (30F) am forcing myself to eat at home. And it has made me a happier person. Posted: 13 Mar 2020 09:00 AM PDT So, last month I decided to change things. I have always loved to cook and decided that I would be a happier, healthier person if I ate at home more. Plus, it's insanely cheaper than going out all the time. So I started shopping weekly and planning meals. But... the first couple of weeks were rough. I wasn't budgeting enough time in my day to cook and ended up eating out anyway. Then when I did get around to eating the food in my fridge, it would be bad. Why do fresh veggies go bad so fast??? I talked to my friend from Italy about it. She told me that everyone in Italy shops daily for their food. It's a huge social experience and nothing ever goes bad. So, I made a new thing. I would shop every day (or every other day) before making food. So nothing would go bad and I had to budget the time better. This has been working wonders! I shop every day and make dinner for two. (Dinner for the night and lunch for tomorrow.) At first I was having trouble deciding what to cook every day. So I made a fun little schedule that leaves things completely open, but gives me a little guidance to narrow things down. Meatless Monday - I can eat anything I want, but it has to be vegetarian. I do want to mention that I still have snacks that are kind of "grab'n'go" like yogurt and boiled eggs. I haven't noticed a change in my weight yet since I just started doing it consistently. I'm sure I will. But I have already noticed a difference in my energy level and I am excited to go home every day. Does anyone else do this kind of thing? Any advice? [link] [comments] |
| (NSV) My Persona is No Longer a Lie Posted: 13 Mar 2020 03:02 PM PDT My tale runs thus. I am a university student on an avant-garde literature course in an ancient city that shall not be named. Over my three years here, I have earned my status as something of a BNOC (Big Name On Campus) through various acts of notoriety. All of these acts have involved quite a bit of flouncing around. Now, effective flouncing is dependent on what I call the three C's. Confidence. Context. And costume. I have flounced onstage in my dressing-gown. I have flounced (here meaning 'posed like a statue') nude at life-drawing classes. I have flounced at the local nightclub wearing little more than during the life-drawing. But the vast majority of the flouncing that has made my name has been done in a specific black velvet jacket. This velvet jacket is an inseperable part of my persona. Like God, it has a hundred names ('the OG', 'your Poe costume', 'MCR ripoff', etc). Heads turn when I, inside it, cross the courtyard. If I enter class without it, whispers ensue. A thousand rumours have circulated about its origins. That I tore it from Oscar Wilde's corpse. That I cut it from the night sky with magic nail-scissors. That I bought it on Ebay. So widely is it famed that people have begun to make me presents of other black velvet jackets that they have found, in homage. When I flounce into a seminar in my velvet jacket, all is right with the world. But I have been keeping a terrible secret. I obtained the jacket two years ago. Yet ever since my jacket and I became a famed part of campus culture this secret has been my burden and my shame. The jacket did not button up. Dear reader, this was not the jacket's fault; its clasps are in perfect working order. But the sad truth is that I had been quite unable to budge the last ten pounds or so that would enable the jacket to button up over my torso. And so, however icy the climate, however equinoctial the English wind, I have worn my jacket open. In response to enquiries, I replied that I was not cold. This was almost always a lie. Students are in general a cold species. Two months ago, as a storm raged about the chimneys of my student house, I was browsing, in the depths of night, through cyberspace. And so it happened that I stumbled upon this sub. Reader, I scrolled. Hungry for wisdom, I sought through years of upvoted posts. I saved comment after comment and read them over. I joined r/vegan1200isplenty. In the morning I downloaded Cronometer. As of today, I have lost twelve pounds. This morning I put on the jacket, as I so often do. Then- prompted by some instinct beyond my ken- I attempted, for the first time in months, to button it. Dear reader, it fit perfectly. TL;DR THANK YOU FOR THIS COMMUNITY! I LOVE YOU ALL!

| Posted: 13 Mar 2020 10:31 PM PDT hi i just wanted to say that i am very proud of where i am today. it might seem minor but the changes ive seen and felt in my body are tangible to me. no one around me really cares cause they never saw a problem with my weight so i dont feel best gushing to them about my progress. i am 23f and 5'5. athletic build, very large bones, my wrists and ankles are very sturdy lol starting weight: 182 current weight: 162 goal weight: ~130 i started this year at 182 pounds, size 10 or 12 pants, and i realized i wasnt confident with who i was anymore. i gained a lot of weight after college, being more sedentary without a campus i needed to run across. my body holds weight very proportionately so i didnt realize how much weight i had put on. for my height i was considered obese according to BMI and it was hard to accept in the beginning especially since everyone around me is petite and tiny despite what they eat. the lifestyle i had wasnt conducive to what i wanted. i had exercised before but ate very horribly (oh university life lol) so it never really gave me any results. i made a quiet decision and i said okay, new years would be my last celebration of this body and i would move on. i write this two weeks into the third month of this year and I am 162 pounds. I still wear some size 10 pants (with belts) but I can go back to wearing some of my size 8 jeans too! my face has slimmed down as well as my thighs. I am more comfortable with wearing tight clothing again. I picked up 20 pounds in dumbbells and was shocked at what it felt like. that was the extra weight i was carrying around on my body, for who knows how long. some days i feel so discouraged when the change isnt as obvious but i am still working on myself everyday. i feel so comfortable with my current size but im still considered overweight. my goal is to lose around 30 to 40 more pounds. as i say that into the mirror, im not sure if i can even imagine myself that size, a weight i havent been for a decade. but i have been averaging about 8 pounds a month and i hope i can continue. i must remind myself that slow and steady will be sustainable in the long run. im just so excited to move forward. cheers to everyone who makes the decision to change. i am with you. thanks for listening to my worries and my hopes.

| Lost nearly all my weight but still getting called fat? Posted: 13 Mar 2020 11:54 AM PDT I started my weight loss around 8 months ago at 220lbs and since then I've lost around 50 lbs (5'8 165-170lbs now). I'm like 5lbs overweight now. The reactions from my family and friends were really great and motivating at first but then when I changed schools (I'm 18) and got some new friends who had no Idea that I used to be much heavier I started being called "chubby", "on the fatter side", "30lbs too big", a "big girl" again and It never stopped. Some of the boys I liked also rejected me for being too big. It makes me really depressed since I was so sure that I finally look like a normal person. I'm now failing at my diet miserably (gaining and losing the same 10lbs). I feel like I didn't accomplish anything since people still see me as the fat girl, nothing changed, doesn't matter if im 220 or 165lbs. I feel much bigger now than back then when I used to be obese. I had a friend that used to be my current weight & height and she literally had a flat stomach and wore 2 sizes smaller pants with no exercise at all. I have no idea what's wrong with me. Please give me some advice because It's really affecting my weight loss and mental health. [link] [comments] |
| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 13 Posted: 13 Mar 2020 04:49 PM PDT Hello lovely losers! Happy Friday! It was a spa & sushi day for me so I'm covered in essential oils and relaxed like a happy sloth. Weight by end of month (200 lbs, preferably trend weight): 208 this morning. I maybe should be bummed but my period is about to start so, grain of salt with the scale. Because it's either period weight or I need to reassess my input. Stay within calorie range (1500 ish): Maintenance day for sushi. Ugh I need to have a really good rest of the month at this rate. 7/10 days. 3/2-4 maintenance days. Exercise 5 days a week: Rest day. 12/13 days. Self-care time (journaling, working on love journals, beauty treatments, drawing, fancy coffee out no more than 3 times a week 6/13): Went to the spa, got a massage & pedicure after having a lie in this morning. Feeling spoiled & well moisturized. Try a new recipe once a week: Peanut butter hummus & a free form chicken noodle soup so far. I'm eyeballing a 15 bean soup recipe as a potential meal prep. 2/4 weeks. 50 pages of The Body Keeps the Score: Not today. 20/50 pages. Drawing prompt every day: I have some specific ideas, just need to make some time. 4/13 days. Be more mindful & express gratitude, avoid the hedonic treadmill: I'm so grateful to have experienced my first massage on someone else's dime. Plus a sushi lunch. And extra down time in general is such a treat. How about all of you? [link] [comments] |
| My 315 to 172lb weight loss journey UPDATED Posted: 13 Mar 2020 11:13 AM PDT Hello all, 7 years ago I made a post on my weight loss journey and I just wanted to give an update and ask any questions for anyone that is struggling or losing weight at the moment Here is my previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/yqdfs/my_long_journey_from_315lbs_to_171_lbs_all_summed/ And here is an update http://imgur.com/gallery/HirENxc As you can see I have kept the weight off, and after 13 years of losing it I will not lie, I have had fluctuations of going up past 200lbs and losing it all again to gaining it back.

| Am I making a mistake by not exercising? Posted: 13 Mar 2020 06:20 PM PDT Hi everyone! I've been on my weight loss journey for several months now and have dropped over 25lbs! The way I did it was by primarily using CICO/OMAD while going about my everyday life. I'm a teacher, so I am on my feet all day, which helps burn a few extra calories on top of my BMR throughout the week. At no point did I do any rigorous exercise, which I think helped me stick with my plan for this long. Additionally, the scale has been a godsend as I see consistent drops in weight almost daily, which has been a great motivator as well. With all of this being said, I am now sitting at home for an entire month due to COVID-19 shutting down my school. I'm thinking that I should use my apartment complex's gym and try to get a similar calorie burn like when I am working, but I fear it will burn me out or mess with my luck on the scale by adding extra water weight and demotivating me. I know there is no statistical downside to exercising on top of my plan, but I'm really hesitant to change my routine since it has led to the greatest and most sustained weight loss of my entire life.

| South Asian people, how do yall eat healthy in a desi household? pls help Posted: 13 Mar 2020 02:33 AM PDT im 18F and live with my parents. ive started losing weight through intermittent fasting and have already seen some progress. i wanted to know, how do yall eat healthy when our primary source of food is rice, roti, naan, spicy oily curries etc? how do you say no to food and still be polite about it with relatives? i feel like people in our countries are very uneducated when it comes to nutrition and weight loss. how do i combat that when i have to eat whatever desi food is cooked for the day? my parents mostly rely on carbs, and completely ignore the fact that a high protein low carb diet is the best for me right now. my mom literally said chicken will make me fat when i took more than one piece of chicken. LOL. im a bit tired of all this false nutrition my parents and relatives believe. im tired of everyone constantly telling me to eat and "educating" me on food when none of them have done any reserch on it whatsoever. no wonder every member of my family deal with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, ect by the time they reach 40. im trying to change, im trying to tell myself this high carb low protein diet that my culture has instilled in me is bad for my health, but its so hard fixing myself when everyone around me is forcing me to eat and i already have a hard time saying no to food. sorry for this rant, would love some advise or tips on how to make this journey easier. thanks. also, i try my best to cook my own food. but im busy and our family is one where everyone eats the same thing at the same time. so its hard to maneuver through that.

| Posted: 13 Mar 2020 09:18 PM PDT Hello Guys, I decided to give this sub-reddit a try in hopes of getting help on my weight loss journey. In the course of 5 years I went from 150 to 210. I'm a female and I am 5'7. I don't feel well with my image, I ended up deleting all my social media because I felt inferior to all my friends and family, it got to the point that I hated any kind of picture I was in. I want to start losing weight, but I don't know how. My main problem is that I am always hungry! And I also don't have time to exercise, I work for 9 hours a day, and my commute is 2 hours and 30 minutes total a day. When I get home is already 7:30 and I have to prepare dinner for my husband and prepare to go to sleep. I try to be active throughout my day, and according to my Apple Watch, I burn an average of 600 calories a day. I also drink a lot of water. Do you have any suggestions or if you could please provide any guidance to me as to what to do, what to follow, how to start, I would greatly appreciate it. I am desperate and feeling really bad. :( Thanks for taking some of your time to read my problem and concerns [link] [comments] |
| Met my mini-goal, can't reap the benefits yet but feel good! Posted: 13 Mar 2020 08:24 AM PDT My mini goal was to lose 20 lbs by my spring break vacation to Universal Studios and be able to wear all the summer outfits that didn't quite fit me and I didn't feel comfortable in. I started doing strict CICO with about a 1500 calorie budget as well as working out more in January. I got home two days ago after reaching that goal and tried on all of my shorts and vacation shirts and they fit me better than they ever have before, I was SO excited to show them off on vacation! And then COVID-19 happened and my trip got cancelled. It's for the best and for everyone's health and safety, but I'm bummed I won't be able to show off my weight loss yet. BUT we were able to reschedule the trip for May, so just imagine how much weight I'll have lost by then! I'll have to have bought all NEW clothes. Keep the faith and stay healthy folks!

| Advice for those with a very low TDEE? Posted: 13 Mar 2020 08:57 PM PDT I'm short with a small frame, and I only burn about 1400 calories on a non-cardio day. Maybe an average of 1800 on a cardio day. I have about ten pounds to lose, but eating the recommended 1200 cals/day is soooo slow! Of course more cardio would speed things up, but I've just moved to the other side of the planet, and I haven't settled into this time zone, much less a regular workout routine. How detrimental is it for someone my size to eat less than 1000 cals per day? Not trying to harm myself, just trying to get the last little bit off in a not-so frustrating and tedious amount of time. Sometimes the scale will end up going up for several days in a row or even a week just because of water retention, etc, even though I'm eating at a deficit, and it's very discouraging. If anyone has advice even just about keeping the bloat off so I can see steadier progress and more tangible results, I'd be very grateful. [link] [comments] |
| I'm obsessed with my scale and my mirror. Posted: 13 Mar 2020 06:57 PM PDT And idk what to do about it but it's unhealthy. I'm struggling with the last 10-15kg. At least I think it's about that much because I actually GAINED weight since August, that's when I started weight lifting. I'm visibly smaller and more muscular so I did lose weight since but I feel like these last kilograms are killing me. I started 110kg in 2019 January and my first goal was reaching 75kg in a year, I weighted 75kg in August and since then I'm bouncing between 75 and 78. My next goal is getting actually slim by the summer with a little visible 6pack and I know it's achieveable with my current diet and workout routine as long as I stick to it but I fell of the wagon pretty often. Even tho I know the scale is completely useless I still step on the scale 1-3 times every day expecting shit to change then I examine my tummy in the mirror because that's basically where I store all my excess fat now and try to see if it's bigger or smaller than.. 3 hours before? I'm also often bloated these days and while I'm telling myself I only look bigger because I'm bloated something in the back of my mind keeps telling me that I gained weight and it's really bugging me. I know this is unhealthy and crazy and I want to get back to just chilling and checking my progress every few weeks and be happy with the progress like I used to be. Now I just keep disappointing myself multiple times a day and restricting my diet and increasing the workouts until my system crashes and I end up binge eating out of depression :( [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 13 Mar 2020 09:09 PM PDT Hi, everyone! My weight loss journey is a nightmare. 😅 I'm trying to loose weight on and off for 8 years now. And I gained 50 pounds instead. It's pretty tough for my self-esteem. Food has taken over my life and I can't control myself at all. Trying to start healthy weight loss journey again. So far, I came up with a few steps, which I'll try to implement: * No distractions, no electronics on the table. * Choose smaller plates * Cut portions by 15% * Eat slowly * Stop eating before feeling full * Don't eat if not hungry * Drink more water and before meals * 6000 steps a day. * Cut sugar and simple carbs I'm here to ask for help, advice and support. I want it with all my heart, but nothing can stop me when I want a cookie. What do you say to yourself to stay on track? What motivates you to keep going? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 13 Mar 2020 07:54 PM PDT Hey yall! I'm super frustrated through my plateau. I'm like 1 pound away from no longer being obsese and I'm so so so excited to get there. But my weight has been fluctuating the same 2-3 pounds for like a week. I weigh myself daily and I'm not going to stop doing that because I'm tracking my daily weight in the TDEE spreadsheet and on Happy Scale and I'm not willing to sacrifice those. I know CICO works and I'm not going to give up. Its about discipline and not motivation. I've vowed to myself to log for 365 days straight no matter what. But ugh its just so frustrating mentally. Anyone have any tips of how to get through a plateau? Mentally or even just breaking the plateau? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 13 Mar 2020 07:40 PM PDT Hey all! I've been consistently using My Fitness Pal for 33 days now (literally the longest streak I've ever done with anything concerning bettering my health). I feel very proud of the fact that I have made it this far, and am successfully keeping myself accountable for my food intake. BUT, I've decided that my news feed is really lonely. Is there anyone who would be interested in being MFP friends? I feel like having like-minded folks on there, where we can see each other's updates and cheer each other on, would be great for motivation! I always find that I better succeed when I have others doing something with me. I also love seeing others succeed, it also helps me push myself to keep going, even when I want to give up. I plan on this time to reach my goal without stopping for a year like I've done in the past. Let me know, my MFP username is GaiaCaecilia :) [link] [comments] |
