140lb lost. Totally lost the will to keep calorie counting
I've lost 140 pounds, and I'm loving that, but I can't seem to get myself going to lose the last 30 pounds or so. This year I've lost nothing. I have made some fitness goals, and am doing well there, I've been cycling and hiking and doing strong lifts, but weight wise, and eating a good diet wise, I've totally fallen off…

I Almost Didn't Fit...
Today I painfully realized how oblivious I have been in regard to my weight. I've always tried hard to hide it, and although I know in my head how bad the number on the scale is, I don't allow my mind to process it. Today I got a cold dose of reality. After I picked my son up from the sitter, I decided to surprise him with…

Plateau
Hi everyone, I've been steadily losing since mid February and have reached a 2 stone loss. I still have around 2 stone left to go. My weight was a steady 2lb a week loss but has recently slowed to half a pound or a maintain. I work out 4 x a week and I track cautiously. I think the app has taken me to the lowest calorie…

Insulin Resistant?
Hi all! I have really been struggling to lose weight this past year. I have been doing most of the "right" things. Low carb, cal counting, adjusting cals, blah blah...

Advice?
How do people feel when someone starts giving you advice on your own diet even though what you’ve been doing has been working, and yet many of my family members and friends always try to give me better advice on how to improve. I can’t tell whether or not to be mad or annoyed at them. Has anyone else come across this…

Accountability - who’s with me?
I have been very successful using MFP - sometimes it’s for a few months, sometime I get a good solid week, sometimes just a day, but always the same outcome. I even tried Premium (although useful), it didn’t keep me on board. They say doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result is insanity - so…

Look at the Tracks
Im using that as motivation, not as a dark metaphor but I use to run a lot and I loved it. Looking at the track I didn’t stop because I had a goal in mind. My Mike time got better and so when I think about what I accomplished then I see no reason to not accomplish it now. I want to be comfortable in my skin from here on…

The final 25 lbs
I’ve been trying(not hard enough tbh) to lose this last bit of weight for over a year... I’m damn tired of seeing my weight fluctuate every week. I make progress only to bounce back to square one. It’s tiring. I’ll admit that my lack of self discipline & accountability is the problem here. From tomorrow I will be posting…

If you have yo yo'd multiple times, do people stop noticing your progress?
A big part of why I do this is to get the validation of others. In the past when I lost weight, I remember everyone commenting and telling me I look thinner. Then when I gained the weight back, nobody said anything. I lost it again years later and some people told me I'm looking good. But then I got busy and gained a lot…

Calling all turtles! Are you a slow loser? Join me in Turtle Track 2021!
Hi everyone! I am super-inspired by folks who have lost lots of weight, sometimes very quickly! That said, my reality is that my pace seems to be slow, and I'd love to find my cohort so we can support each other on a slow-but-steady team where a half-pound per week loss is to be celebrated instead of fretted over.
