Positive and adaptive accountability thread
Today, I posted some on fitness forum apps like a fitness discord and my fitness pal forum to get myself engaged while I was at planet fitness. I’m the last being in a forum kept me interested and hyperfocused on it - it works to get people into hobby forums so why not use it to get myself engaged in my gym goal if it…

Capsulitis + weight loss
I am posting this because I am just so frustrated at the moment, but trying to stay positive! I've lost 15-20 lbs (SW: 155lb, CW: 140lb, Lowest weight: 135lb). A big part of my motivation to be healthy and lose weight is to be able to be more active. Unfortunately I've been diagnosed with an annoying and persistent…

Eating before bedtime
I will do great during the day as far as eating goes, but before I go to sleep (always happens in the bedroom) I want something to eat. I know it's better not to so the body has longer to recover, and I know it's a conditioned craving. Besides just arguing with myself or giving in, what other tips/alternatives do you have?…

Body fat percentage: the tale of the tape
So I tried to determine my body fat percentage using the tape measure method. I know there are more accurate methods, but it was easier to access a measuring tape than a DexaScan. I plugged in the various numbers (waist, belly, hip, thigh, wrist, etc.) and got back the following results… I tend to think the Marine Corps…

My lack of progress
Heaviest weight 164.0 lbs today's weight 160.4 goal weigh 130 - 140 (depending on how I look if I get this low). I've been at this for a number of years. I did manage to reach 148.0 lbs about a year ago, but it all came back. Trouble is, the older I get (79) the harder it is to lose, and to say 'no' to snacks. So - here I…

Interesting group, may I join in?
Like a few other people who do MFP, this is about my 4th time around. I am 69 (well, will be next month, so close enough) and am finding it harder and harder to lose weight. I was doing reasonably well until about 2.5 years ago, when I came down with a very severe case of Covid. After six weeks in the hospital, I could not…

I’m new! Just a few of my thoughts
Hey guys! I’m really really struggling I compare myself to people daily and I don’t know if I’m making progress or not. I’m doing 100 push-ups daily for charity and doing a body weight workout from YouTube at least 3 days a week. My goal is to be lean. I need to learn how to get more protein in my diet.

Recommitting to Myself... want to Recommit to you with me?
Hey Y'all. Back in 2006ish, when I lost 100lbs, I lost the bulk of it after I created a group on the Weight Watchers forum where a small group of us touched base every day to either just share our plans for the day, to give support to another struggling, give and get tips, or just exclaim that we met our goal that day. I…

Need to commit!
I’ve tried to commit many times over the last 5 years and just can’t stick with it. After my two older kids (11&13) I was able to lose 30 lbs and get to my lowest of about 145-150. I was in my late 20s then. Fast forward 10 yrs to my mid 30s and a 3rd kiddo (5yrs) and I’m at my highest weight ever at 203lbs. I’m starting…

Grief weight gain
I was doing pretty good maintaining until Daddy died on March 26. I started eating. And eating. Ice cream, cookies, anything sweet. I knew it was all bad for me, but I figured it was better than picking up alcohol to dull the pain. Anyway, I finally made myself step on the scales this morning. I've got work to do. It feels…

IF Check-ins or support group?
Does anyone know where we can check in on fasting days or where to find a support group? It’s easier to do these things when you have a distraction, especially when others are doing the same thing. Whether it be here or a free site. I just wanna check in or read from time to time and not feel like I’m alone.

I'm in the best shape of my life... so why am I still gaining?
Looking for insight: I work out at a Bootcamp/HIIT style gym 4 or 5 days/week, and I've been doing so for over a year now. I'm in the best shape of my life! I have more stamina, strength, and flexibility at 37 than I had when I was in high school or early twenties. I also enjoy staying active on my "rest" days by hiking,…
