Slept in until noon:30. 8oz water and protein power packed first meal. Worked in the garden. Learned how to turn METs into calories burned. Slowed down for self care, I was shaky.…

One good thing about this lifelong struggle with obesity and weight loss
as I reflect on being 50 now and having struggled with obesity and weight loss for 35 of these years, I was trying to identify one good thing that came out of it. here’s what I landed on: compassion for those who face the same struggle. I would rather feel compassion for others in the same boat as me (to varying degrees)…

Hello

How do you beat the afternoon blahs at work?
It's 2:30-4:30 in the afternoon at work. This is when I typically mosey over to my coworker's office…you know, the one with the candies in it… I need to buckle back down on my diet and would like to avoid that candy. What do YOU do to push yourself through those afternoon blahs? I'm looking for ideas for either/both:…

Longtime on MFP
Hi I have been on MFP for around 10 years now but I have only reached my goal of target weight once during my wedding. I have gone back to increased belly fat after that just bad food habits i.e. eating junk, not cooking my own food. Can someone recommend some books, articles. Thanks

Friends?
Finishing my first week back to tracking with MFP. See lots of changes in the app, some are nice (paid for) but I miss the connection with friends. Why can't we post to our walls anymore? It was nice to share updates there. Anyway, many of my old friends are inactive…So if anyone wants to be friends for support, I'd love…

Wanted : Daily accountability motivation buddy
Hi all! Middle aged guy here from Canada, 5’11, 200 lbs looking to loose 20 lbs. I’ve been using MFP for over 10 years and it works ( when I use it).

Tracking calories
Iv been in a weight loss journey up and down for years. I suck at tracking my food. And then when I do and it gives me 2100 calories to eat in a day, for me that’s way too much. But I try. So when I don’t hit all my macros. I know I fail. How do you get over that. For example. I’m 200lbs and would like to be 160 and see…

In a rut!!!
well I had lost about 60 pounds in the last couple years but I got lost somewhere and gained about 25 pounds back. It’s just too convenient to eat out or reach for a snack. I really need to get back in the mindset of where I was when I lost all that weight. I was exercising 30 to 60 mins per day. Mostly treadmill but also…

I don’t have anyone to talk nutrition with.
I have been on my journey seriously for a few months and seeing exciting progress. My best friend struggled with eating disorders in the past so I can’t talk to her about any of the food aspect of weight loss. I am really struggling staying motivated and I need support. We live together and today she brought home a whole…

Ironman Race Weight
I have an Ironman in mid-August, and I realised on Monday this week that, although I have done loads of training, I have put on weight, which is slowing me down. No point in doing all that training and being heavy for the actual race. I tried to read the forums about weight loss for an endurance event, so I've been super…
