Anyone need to lose weight but not focusing on weight?
I need to lose 70lb ish, but I'm trying not to fixate on it. Here's the thing, when I try to lose weight by tracking my weight or counting calories I get totally obsessive (thanks ADHD). Weighing myself multiple times a day and getting annoyed and giving up as soon as the scale trends in the wrong direction for a few days.…

Anyone else looking for friends to build a weightloss support system ?
I was recently laid off of work so that sucks but I told myself in the mean time this is my chance to enjoy life and put my health first. My issue is I go great for a few days then I lack the motivation . Eating and meal prep I’m usually able to stick to , it’s the exercise side of it. I’m out of shape and very weak and I…

I went into the doctor and they ran some tests and they said my insulin levels were high-my blood glucose at the time was 70-that was 45 minutes after eating.…

PLEASE SWITCH the locations of Steps and Weight
When I'm sending a screenshot of MyFitnessPal to others to encourage them to download and use it I do NOT want to forget (with this new layout) that my weight will be listed at the bottom! When I log/update my weight it's usually in the privacy of my own home. I'm much more likely to be logging physical activity…

Contrave 2022
I do not post in discussions much. Honestly it had been years since I have looked at anything other than my food diary in the app for quite some time and even there I mainly post breakfast then give up. I see a few older posts for Contrave, but was hoping to connect with those currently taking it. I feel quite deflated by…

Thought Perspective
I wanted to share a great perspective a member shared in another group for visualizing weight loss by the pound & five pounds. Losing one pound = 1 pd of butter Losing five pounds = 5 pd bag of potatoes. Seeing it in this perspective made me go woah I’ve lost the equivalent of 28 pds of butter or almost 6 five pound bags…

Any other teachers struggle when they leave their highly structured environment for the summer?
I always hear how people find the summer to be an easier time to lose...a nd it is just not the case for me. I am teacher, guided by a bell schedule that literally guides all decision making...even when I get to pee! So summer, I feel like a feeder fish! Also the days are longer, and it is just more time to eat! I do love…

Does anyone else feel bad for taking breaks sometimes?
Earlier I thought I should take a break on working out and just take a minute to be with myself and my niece while she is in town for the summer and shortly after thinking that I started feeling bad about it. Does anyone else get into that mindset? I feel like it could be a bigger sign that I need to take a break lol but…

Gone from 115Kg to 91Kg not convinced 80kg will get me where i want. Thoughts?
One with red shorts is around 115. Other one is 91/92kg. I'm about 179cm so 80kg should in theory be a good weight. I'm just not convinced 10-12kg will be enough to lose. Any one have any thoughts?

Yes I'm aware I have time but I don't know how long this platue will last. I really want to get below 200lbs before August 1st (about 15lbs away) but now I'm scared…

It's not enough to lose weight. We need to be healthier and happier.
I didn't think the title of this thread needed to be said, but I find myself saying it almost every day here. Most people try to lose weight in order to be healthier and therefore happier. But when I read these boards, people seem so willing to trade off health and happiness, essentially giving these up, in order to lose…

No progress whatsoever
I’ve been in the gym for 10 weeks now. I’m lifting weights - heavy weights, following the advice of a nutritionist and I’m having absolutely no luck at all in losing fat. I’ve actually put 2lb on. My strength is increasing - fair enough. But I’ve got so much belly fat I’m desperate to get rid of that just isn’t budging.…

Will take time for evolution to catch up
To how we eat that is. Initially our bodies adapted to storing energy very efficiently due to scarcity of food thousands of years ago. But ever so recently with the abundance of food in industrialized countries being so available and cheap, our bodies are just storing extra calories quite quickly leading to the upswing of…
