Ughhhh... COVID Weight Gain Despite Running Every Day
(39F, 5’3”) From 2019-2020, I lost 30lbs- 163 to 133. I’ve always been fit and a daily exerciser- I 100% just needed to cut down on my portions and snacks, and mfp helped keep me accountable. I had a nice little routine going of weighing myself every morning at the gym (no scale at home), and work was busy so I just ate…

Who else hates the ‘motivational’ dashboard headlines?
Hi, How can we switch off the new judgy little negative attempts at motivation on our dashboards? They are so aggravating —I know I’m not that only one triggered. So far I had a few days of condescending “it’s never too late to start again” (I have not failed at this, thank you) then something about what I look like, then…

Incentives?
I lost 170lbs to get pregnant with my first. In my second trimester I was put on Abilify and by the birth I'd gained 90lbs. I gained 20lbs more in the two months following. I forced my psychiatrist to take me off it, but then the pandemic hit and I went remote, my gym closed, and I had another baby. I've gained 20lbs more…

Hello
Hi, new to the thread. Hope everyone is having a good day. It’s another scorcher here in Texas. I have a plum tree in the backyard and this is the first year here that it produced and it produced abundantly. The back of my legs are so sore from picking up these plums and I have been having to sit on ice packs every night. 😝

Does Instagram motivate or demotivate you?
This is for all the people who are trying to/have lost weight. I find it difficult and demotivating when I keep seeing people with amazing bodies showing themselves off on Instagram or Facebook. Of course, they've worked hard to get there and I really commend them for it. But as someone who is on a fitness journey, which…

Out Of Control Over Eating on Weekends
I don't eat a lot during the week and I vigorously exercise during the week. I keep the weekends as my rest days and do not exercise. I am finding myself over eating to the point I can't stop.
