Seeking female friends who log daily
I am a 49 year old female and pre-menopausal. I always log what I eat, even if it's bad. I have an open diary for friends with 2000+ days of logging. I am 5'7" and currently at 154, down from 171.8 since July of 2023. My goal is to get to 140 by January when I turn 50. It's been a slow journey. I have fibromyalgia, bad…

Discouraged…
I know other peoples weight loss should not affect my journey, but it turns out that 2 women in my office that I admired from a distance for losing so much weight did so by going to Mexico for the stomach sleeve surgery 😕 No judgment to them, I’m just sad because I thought, if they can be super disciplined, then so can I.…

Rewards for sticking to exercise routine
Hi all, Sorry for the long post - I know this topic has been discussed before but I thought I'd "refresh" it. I’ve been on a health journey the last year, aided greatly by MyFitnessPal and research-based books like “Atomic Habits” & others on positive mindset. I’ve dropped 80 pounds just by changing the way I eat, and I’m…

Good Afternoon!
My name is Lisa. I had gastric sleeve surgery on 02/22/24. The initial two month weight loss was a breeze, now that I’m on month 3 I am stalling and struggling. I am following the foods and exercising 3 times a week at the gym for an hour each visit. My calorie count is around 600 a day but my scale is stuck! Any advise,…

I’m not new to this at all but super short and recently frustrated that my weight is going up at 78kg now…

Tracking but not losing 😭

My starting weight was 148.8. My goal is 130. The lowest I’ve gotten is 147.1 and I keep fluctuating between 147-149. I don’t…

I EAT A LITTLE VS I EAT A LOT
It isn’t about how much or how little you eat. It’s about calories in vs calories out. Eat atleast 500 calories below maintenance weight calories to lose weight. Lower fat intake to burn body fat and eat more protein to build and recover muscle 💪🏾 add 10k steps a day and some resistance training and you’re golden! Good luck

MOTIVATION
I've always believed that 'motivation' is overrated! I haven't always felt motivated to do something, but I just make a decision to do it because I know what I'll feel like afterward (whether it's in business, wellness, relationships, etc.). What's your thought on MOTIVATION?

Persistence, not perfection!
Do you find yourself getting frustrated and ready to give up when “dieting” isn’t going perfect? That was certainly me over and over when trying to lose weight and get healthy. I felt that if I blew it one day that was it I just ruined everything so I let it mess with my mind and I would give up. Learning now, but is…
