Injury and setbacks?
Hi all, after 2.5 years of dedication I am in some of the best shape of my life. BUT I also achieved this while respecting an (11 years past) cervical injury and carefully working with/around an existing right inguinal hernia. The hernia can be corrected via surgery which is optional at the moment but could become…

Operation: Fit into my jeans
I don't want to buy new clothes but my jeans (and skirts and pants) don't fit anymore. I gained the COVID 20. Very much like the freshman 15. I hope to get a few people to laugh and chat with about success and setbacks. Anything to keep me motivated to use this bloody app! Will love any takers.

Post-surgery tips/friends?
Hi all! I had extensive foot surgery in early June and my recovery time is 6-8 weeks. I’m a 47yo widow and I live alone except for my jerk face dog that I love dearly. Haha. I don’t have any friends here, just a very critical and demeaning older sister with whom I get along with as long as I’m doing things on her terms. I…

Starting over July 2❤️
I'm new to this group but a repeat offender of MFP. After gaing 20lbs during the COVID debaucle I am ready to start getting back to my "happy place/weight". Seeing the July 2 post made me realize I've been procrastinating for a whole half of a year! I'm an icu nurse 61 years old who did not take care of herself for 2 and a…

What was the breaking point on your last failed attempt at weight-loss?
Most of us have tried multiple times to lose weight or stay healthy. I was on a great track at one point. I let peer pressure from a friend break me. It was downhill ever since. How do you say no and keep the will-power to keep going?

Accountability Partner Needed
I am a 52 yo female who needs to lose 100lbs. I am not new to MFP. I emotionally binge eat. I need an accountability partner who will help me stick to my goals & someone I can reach out to when I am having an urge to binge. I would happily do the same for my partner.

App issues
Anyone else having difficulty with the app?? All of a sudden this morning mine will not work. When I select it and try and open, it flashes and goes right back to my home screen.

Lost my UMPH, help!
Hey all. I'm not new to this weight-loss scene, or MFP. Been on MFP for years, been yo-yo-ing for years.... Seems like every time I bust my butt for a month to drop two pounds, I gain it back in ONE WEEKEND of not going to the gym and a few beers. I'm SO FRUSTRATED that it literally takes 2 hour workout per day, 1300…

Trying to love my body along the way
I'm trying to change my mindset to "I'll love my body when I'm thinner" to "my body is beautiful now and will only become more beautiful the more I care for it". This summer I'm working on being more kind to myself and not shying away from how I look now. Still wearing the outfits I want and sexy swimsuits. I don't want to…

Still enjoying food 😋
Today I had chic-fil-a. After logging it and seeing I hadn't gone over my calorie limit for the day felt good. It's makes it easier to know I can still eat what I want and enjoy food while still on my weightloss journey. One thing I learned through this process is restricting is my enemy but moderation is my friend. Just…

Made it through Week One
I know it’s probably not a big deal to most but I made it through week one. As a serial starter in the past, I would give up after a couple days. Especially after a “bad” day. Things that I am doing differently this time are adding friends for support (because I can’t quit now) and focusing on increasing fiber and protein,…

I am the boy that cried wolf…
I have told my friends and family many, many times in the past that I am going to lose weight and improve my health. This time I was going to make it happen. Each time they supported me. Each time what I claimed did not pan out. I am at it again. But I can tell that while they wish me well, they don’t necessarily believe…

Frustrated !
Am I the only one having issues with no support?! No matter how hard I'm trying I'm stuck eating whatever I cook for everyone else bc I can't afford two meals and nobody in my household will eat healthy with me. All they want is burgers and fries etc. I'm staying huge and sick. Who knows about portion control?
