Starting out...
Hi... I'm trying to get a handle on my weight situation. I have lost a lot of weight since my highest weight, (about 8 years ago or so), but it seems like every time I get on the scale it is inching back up to where I was. I don't want that to happen, so I am trying to work hard at exercise and eating better so I can get…

needing some motivation...
Hi. I'm a mother to four girls and a happy wife. I'm in need of some motivation and tips, so I'm joining this community. I have a few stubborn pounds that are driving me crazy. They're not coming off as easy as they have in the past, I guess because I'm getting older. I feel like they'll never come off, so i need to see…

Refocusing
I need to refocus on myself and my health. Sometimes I get so busy with work and taking my kids to activities that I won't make time myself to workout. So I'm looking forward to using this site to help me.

Ready to start this journey... for good!
Hi everyone! I am a 29 year old that works in Law Enforcement / Healthcare. I've been down this road many times before, once losing 70 lbs, before gaining it all back and then some. I tried unsuccessfully to lose while working full-time and going to nursing school (big mistake there lol). But now after graduation is…

Newbie!
Hi, I am new to fitness pal. I am a married full time working mother of 2. This leaves me little or no time for exercise but I am determined to make time. I have a goal of about 20-25lbs to drop...doesn't sound like much but it is when trying to fit into jeans that are way too tight!! I feel unhealthy and want to feel…

Working on losing over 100 lbs.
Hello.. I hope that myfitnesspal will finally help me become more accountable for what I eat. I am open to making friends for support too.

Looking for support.
I've invited several members around my area to be my "friend" but so far I'm friend-less. I noticed most of the introductions and requests for friends are limited to members with similar age, gender and goals. And I'm not a twenty-something female (not that there's anything wrong with that). I'm not picky and would love a…

Hello from Silver Spring
At the age of 50, I ran my first half marathon with my 20 something daughters. I was so proud of myself and though my weight was still higher than it should have been, physically, I was in the best shape of my life. Two years later, after selling the family home and downsizing...it appears my waist line is upsizing. I am…

Greetings and salutations!
I'm so mad at myself! Four years ago, I lost 30lbs in 6 months by watching my diet and working out religiously. So excited! Slowly, I stopped working out quite as much, stopped watching what I was eating...and now four years later (actually 3 years and 11 months later...not that I'm counting or anything...haha!)...I'm back…

Bringing sexy back...
...actually just trying to lose 15lbs while also gaining some muscles. My current weight is about 180 and I would like to get to about 165. I was in really good shape about 8 years and I weighed 167, so I'm trying to beat that. I live in Maryland and am 27 years old.

Trying to get ahold of my weight
I am new to the group and I am shocked at how fast my calories are used up each day! Now I know why I have gained 30lbs over the past years. I have support from people I work with that are also doing MFP and are seeing results. Support is what we all need!!

Is there ever a day 2?
It seems like I am always on day one! Always battling the "getting started" aspects! Emotionally it is very hard to always be here. I am going to get through this and put day 1, week 1, month 1 behind me somehow. If I could figure out what is the issue with me on this one, I think I would be truly on my way for a lifestyle…

hello on day one!
today was day #1 for me, and well...I ate too much! :D It was very helpful to see how it all added up, and now I'm going to see how I could make different choices to save extra calories for a late night snack. I think I'll have a few more carrots at lunch! I'm constantly in the kitchen cooking for my crew (9 kids) and I…
