How have you been treated differently based on your weight?
In my adult life, I’ve bounced from 70lbs overweight and 10-20 LBs underweight. What bothers me (for whatever reason) is how I’m viewed differently being at my heaviest. I wish we could all see each other for who we are, not our pants size. If someone doesn’t love me at my heaviest, they don’t deserve me at my thinnest? 😅

Gained and don't care; I don't even want to try to change
I haven't been here in a long time, mostly because my weight was healthy. But since 2019 I've had some major changes--a big move was an excuse to indulge in junk food, then the pandemic started, then more stress from other sources, and more excuses. In about 2.5 years, I went from a BMI of 22.3 to 31.8. And the thing is, I…

Need Help Staying Motivated to Reach 100lbs Goal
It’s been about a year and two months since I decided to take control of my weight. I had one too many scares that sent me to the hospital that made me decide to try to lose weight again.

Autoimmune accountability
Hi all. Do any of you use diet as a way to manage any autoimmune conditions you may have? I've been working on my diet for the past 5-6 months or so and sometimes I get off track. I was diagnosed with RA and diet has been a great way for me to reduce symptoms. That being said, it'd be really great to connect with others…

Coming Back to Basics
I'm back in business after over a year of absence from My Fitness Pal. I gained 60 pounds back despite having weight loss surgery in May 2019, in which I only lost 70 lbs. I learned the hard way that nothing is going to work for long, until you change your eating habits for good, with only an occasional treat. Who knew!
