Joining Trevor Project 44mile challenge and…
I’m starting weight loss injections. Because of the high cost of the weight loss drugs, my doctor has prescribed a compound of the same medications contained in the high priced injections.

Need New Friends! Maybe a 2024 Weight Loss Challenge?
Hello everyone, I could always use more friends. I live in Michigan with my hubby. I've been married for 8 years. I consider myself to be lightly active, but as a childcare worker, that is a workout in itself. I'm 5"6 225 right now, hoping to get down to at least 175 by the end of 2024. :smile:

Need motivation
I was doing really well in the summer. Pretty much cut out all the cakes, chocolate etc and was eating really healthy and it helped. I'm now back to eating the rubbish again but I travel alot so it's hard to fit the routine of diet or exercise when you're grabbing a bite here or sneaking a run there. Any ideas!?!?

Can relate
Hi I can relate to your post as in the same place myself. Feel like I’ve lost my way this last 4/5 months. Find slimming classes are mostly young and they seem to lose weight easier and I can’t exercise due to health issues so always feel I’m letting group down. Have been on map for 3years now and know if I didn’t do it…

Gym Barriers Anyone?
Mine has been limited access to a vehicle. Options for me...wait on a bus or 20-25 min walk in a suburban area (not many sidewalks). Uber if I'm really feeling desperate. When I can get my mind right I push myself and do the walk. Otherwise working out at home is always an option, thankfully.

Adderall and Binge Eating Disorder
Hello, I have recently been prescribed 10 mg twice daily of Adderall for possible ADHD. I do believe I have binge eating disorder via my nutritionist's opinion. Does Adderall help that by increasing dopamine? I wake up in the middle of the night and want to eat for reasons of what feels like boredom. Any other experiences…
