I've really struggled in the past with self-disclipline and willpower... but as my weight creeps higher and higher and my level of fitness gets lower and lower I'm desperate to make a change in my lifestyle.

I'm not sure why I'm even posting as I'm quite nervous talking to people but it feels good to shout into the void - 'enough is enough!' ]]> https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10904695/i-have-to-succeed-for-my-dog Wed, 06 Dec 2023 19:20:00 +0000 Introduce Yourself AIP4ever 10904695@/en/discussions
I was diagnosed with RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2014) and back then I wanted to lose weight and actually did. An incurable disease, an autoimmune disorder. It’s a special nightmare 'normal' people can't understand.

I have been on a daily dose of Prednisone for eight years besides other meds that can also cause weight gain. I have gained 100 pounds, but it's not just the meds fault. I have stopped moving. If it hurts, you just don't want to move.

I was always a 'foodie', loved to eat, and could eat myself into a frenzy. In the last years, it got worse.

2015 I weighed 215 pounds and I just saw 345 lbs on my scale. I go up and down, but never under 200. It's like I have given up.

This is my last and final try to get healthier. I will live by the AIP lifestyle for 180 days. AIP=Autoimmune Protocol = a very disciplined diet to calm down the inflammation in my body. Later on I can add some food back, slowly and step by step, to eliminate everything that causes more inflammation.

The fact is: My body attacks me. The fact is: I am tired of it.

So I am here because I NEED TO try this one more time. Millions have done it before me and they have succeeded. I wish to be one of them. If not, I will give up and declare defeat and I will order a hover-round and accept disability and more meds.

I want to do this, and it would be easier with friends by my side.

We got a puppy a year ago; the dog found us, and he was left abandoned. He is happy but he would be happier if I could walk him every day. While he loves the backyard and his 'sister', he needs more. I am doing this for my health and our dogs.

I am fun and normally a very optimistic person. I have researched my disease and its relationship with food for years. For me, any weight loss will be a side effect. It’s all about health now! Still, I would like to see the 215 on the scale, perhaps by next Christmas.

It's now or never! I am not waiting for the Holidays to pass. There will always be special days that will give me just another excuse to fall off the wagon -and in my case, falling off the wagon is painful.

I bought a desk peddler which I will try to use every day and I am planning on starting chair yoga in a couple of weeks, when the pain might be less of an issue.

Anyhow! Wish me luck as I wish you all luck and determination and, of course, a Happy Holiday Season.]]> https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10904798/hello Sat, 09 Dec 2023 14:13:13 +0000 Introduce Yourself aspenz2522 10904798@/en/discussions https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10904764/who-wants-to-be-on-my-team-of-fitness-supporters-in-turn-i-will-motivate-you-10-fold Fri, 08 Dec 2023 14:25:05 +0000 Introduce Yourself Thepaleogiant 10904764@/en/discussions https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10904779/not-new-but-restarting Sat, 09 Dec 2023 01:47:44 +0000 Introduce Yourself bethanna2016 10904779@/en/discussions

Well anyway a bit about myself. I am a gym rat. I've worked in the technology field for 35 yrs. I recently got laid off. During that time I've made the decision to get Group Fitness Certified and I'm sooooo excited for the career change. I'm so tired of working for corporate and for the first time in my life I'm doing something I want to do!!]]> https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10904692/would-love-to-make-friends Wed, 06 Dec 2023 17:04:16 +0000 Introduce Yourself chvishalini96 10904692@/en/discussions ]]> https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10900818/back-at-it-again Tue, 03 Oct 2023 10:33:49 +0000 Introduce Yourself wharrisb5 10900818@/en/discussions https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10904673/new-to-myfitnesspal Wed, 06 Dec 2023 07:44:37 +0000 Introduce Yourself ProudMomma1426 10904673@/en/discussions https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10904656/new-to-myfitnesspal Tue, 05 Dec 2023 20:26:58 +0000 Introduce Yourself sshaffer0103 10904656@/en/discussions I think it will be fun to log my food into the system.
