Goals
Good morning! Top of the week. Does anybody have any short term goals in place or is anyone making small tweaks or changes to a regimen or diet plan? For me I plan to start a 48-72 hour fast beginning tomorrow. And then I'll be following a warrior diet for about a week.

Trying not to be discouraged so soon.

It finally ruptured/incarcerated in June and I had emergency surgery - and now I'm allowed to do heavy exercise again. I'm 330 lbs. I was 230 when i popped the hernia in the first place. No…

Rest Day
Today is the first day I've taken a rest day in about 4 weeks. I feel guilty about it. In the past one rest day would turn into not working out and eating bad for days. But I am still eating clean today. Still will probably do some push-ups in my cubicle. But taking a physical and mental break from the gym today. I plan to…

Calorie deficit and mental stress
Can we talk about this more? Doctors seem to really disregard it. I dieted for 4 months non stop for medical reasons and my mental health tanked. Sex drive flat as hell too. I mean, that can’t be good long term? I’m guessing it’s hormones. Don’t get me wrong I’m glad I did it but I really felt pressure every time he…

I finally lost some weight!
For a month I have been struggling and weight has been up and down with no losses since August 12th. This morning I lost .5. This is major for me as I am hypothyroid and 72 with limited mobility. I am able to exercise but spend some time doing sedentary activities. I only have 5 pounds to lose, which makes it harder.

Looking for friends to lose 100lbs and doing intermittent fasting :-)
Hi there! This is totally new for me! I lost 100lbs in 2015 just walking and counting calories. Life happened and it came back. I’m having problems getting on track so thought having specific time frames to eat AND track would help! I currently have fibromyalgia and sore everything. I know losing weight will help and that…

Seeking community for accountability and support
Hi there, I’m currently 195 and hoping to lose 20 lbs in a sustainable way. I’m very active and love exercising (running, spin, strength, etc), but struggle with binge eating disorder that makes it very difficult to manage what I’m eating. I’ve done OA to the “f*** it” diet and right now I’m doing therapy just to process…

Looking for "pals" over age 60, please
This is not my first rodeo. I lost 65 lbs. on MFP 12 years ago, but I have slowly and surely gained it all back, thanks to a bad heart, bad knees, and raging arthritis. Finding it hard to lose weight now because of health issues and age. Looking for friends who've "been there, done that, still doing it". :) Thank you.

Are you prepared for obstacles
What are the things that have sidetracked or stalled your progress before? How can we overcome them this time? I used to be a slave to the scale. If I woke up and the scale didn't read what I want..I would get back in bed and probably order unhealthy food. And then the next day I'd be so guilty that I didn't work out and…

Make fitness/working out a non negotiable!
I hit a major milestone. I flew home last weekend and stayed for 5 days. Usually this means I workout less, eat terrible, and fall off the wagon. This time I worked out every single day. No matter what I worked out. I worked out at 4 different gyms for free using a combo of day passes. Don't let anything stop you from…
