Countdown to the big three-oh
So I realised. My late 20s are drawing to a close and - in less than 100 days - I'll be thirty. And I'm probably in the worst shape I've been in. I lost a load of weight in 2019 (post breakup) and felt fantastic. And then covid, work from home, no motivation happened. And it's all back on - and more. I feel like rubbish, I…

Staying Motivated
I'm a long time user of mfp. I do a great job for a month or so then slowly slip back into old habits. I am having a lot of trouble staying motivated and not binging when I am bored or stressed. I'm looking for ideas I can try when I am feeling stressed or bored to keep myself from binge eating. Food is so easy to turn to…

Gained weight rather than losing
Hello friends, returning back to MFP with a hope to keep my hope of losing weight alive. Need some real motivation and push. I do little to moderate exercise, love foods, drink enough water (1.5 to 2L) and keep adding weight to my body 😌

So happy but lost my way
What a long crazy, awesome, beautiful journey it has been. About 10 years ago I went from obese to anorexic! But I built myself back and ended up super healthy, strong, and fit. I maintained that for years. Became a nutritionist, ranked in boxing and muay Thai, and eventually became a fitness instructor…

I’m a dork! Random silliness only MFP peeps understand!
I pre-logged an afternoon snack. 188 calories of popcorn. Later after dinner I felt like a snack, which is unusual. I got 12500 steps in today and decided to indulge in some Reese’s peanut butter minis. They put me over my calorie goal by about 130 calories! Going over calories is very, very rare for me, and it has to be…

Overeaters Anonymous?
I don't know how I never discovered this before but I just found out about overeaters anonymous and having been on MFP in the past (new me new account) I don't recall ever seeing any mention of them.

Yesterday was not a good day
The day before, I was about 900 calories. I did two stationary bike rides and lifted weights, so I was not under eating. Yesterday, I did not exercise. I wanted something sweet and I was hungry. Ate two large bowls of Cap'n Crunch. I didn't get enough water in for the day. Up two pounds. Oh well. Not going to beat myself…

Note to self - you need to do more work!
I lost 65 pounds in about a year. I was at my goal of a healthy BMI. Then I thought I could ease up a little to see if I could maintain my weight. I couldn't. Slowly but surely my weight crept up and up. Each time I saw a gain or felt the clothes get tighter I thought, it's okay, I will just start again on (fill in…

"The Last 10 Pounds"
I should start out by admitting that my "last" 10 pounds is actually the only 10 lbs I've ever needed to lose. I've been about 10-15 lbs over my ideal weight for the last 10 years or so, since losing most of my friends in order to start/finish my PhD, unsuccessfully trying to find a partner to settle down and have kids…
