What's Your Most Recent NSV
My most recent NSV is taking a selfie with my daughter and seeing dimples again! I have hated how I've looked for so long and I actually don't hate this picture and my dimples are back. Can't remember the last time I saw those, I know it was when a Bush was in office! Even the fact that I was willing to take a selfie is an…

A great start to my journey
All my life I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food, it didn’t matter if I was happy, sad or even angry I would always turn to food for comfort! Just a little over 5 months ago I decided to make a change on how I saw food, re-educationed myself as I couldn’t continue with making the wrong choices and watching the…

Starting over alcohol free
Today is day 15 alcohol free. Starting over with diet and exercise today. About a year and a half or so ago, I went a couple of months with no alcohol and dieting and exercising regularly. Lost 20+ pounds, and then one day, decided margaritas would be a good idea. Well, that ended December 3 when I was detoxing so bad I…

Today I walked on my own -Bye bye scooter?
My husband and I both have a severe cold, we both got an earache and a fever overnight and I made an appointment with an urgent care office for Sunday morning. It’s a huge building with modern, long hallways. They have rolling chairs in the lobby, for people who can’t walk very well. I started using these chairs about six…

What nobody tells you about losing weight
Wanted to make this thread for motivationial purposes more than anything but they don't all have to be super positive! More of what came as a surprise. I'll start.. - how much confidence it will actually bring, especially when strangers start treating you like royalty all of a sudden! - Sitting (particularly in baths) and…

My weight loss so far
I've not really done one of these posts before as I've never been happy with my progress. But I figured today I'd like to share. I started my current weight loss journey in August 2021. I was 101kg at the time, and that wasn't even my biggest! Fast forward to today, and I am down to 77kg, still a little way to go, but I've…

My Success Story and 10 year anniversary
Ten years ago, I made my first entry on MyFitnessPal. I was three months into my weight loss and exercise project when Microsoft dropped support for the health app I used to monitor my calories and exercise. I found MyFitnessPal in the app store for my Windows phone (remember those?) and created my account. I ended up…

Another 30 Days of Accountability
Hello again! A month ago, I ended a successful accountability thread that I intended to only maintain for 30 days. I'm leaving that one to rest and starting another for the end of June through mid-July to try and channel those results again: TLDR: over the course of one month I went from 158.2 lbs on 4/22/25 to 152.0 lbs…

How can I start exercising?
Hello, I am new to this. I'm not very healthy right now, and I know it's probably important to start doing some exercise. But, I don't know where to really start and I kind of lack the motivation? Even when I really want to, I just can't get myself to do it. I don't know how to work on this :( I want to do better & be…

Accountability
I’m 36, a mother of two under 5. I’ve let myself go a bit too much caring for them; this is the largest I’ve ever been: 91kg, 164cm height.🥹🥹 I would love to know if there’s a way to get a partner in fitness on this platform I can be accountable to? Like a fitness pal checking up on each other 😊.

I amaze myself
I started on this journey in February 2024 at 338 lbs on a 5'2 frame. I could not get on the floor and get back up it would hurt my knees too badly. I had a hard time going up and down stairs I had to take them one at a time. And we're not even going to discuss the bathroom. Lol. I was tired all the time and I was so…

My body can’t do what my brain wants it to.
I was on here years ago & came back because I gained a bit during COVID & after because of physical issues stopping me from doing the exercises on my lower body. I sustained a severe back injury years ago; in my work as a nurse. Had to have surgery and with the chief of neurosurgery & he made my back worse. It’s too much…

Difficult Night
Last night was one of those nights where I'd eat anything sugary if I had it in the house. It was tough, I went to and from the kitchen 3 times to collect and scarf down a palm full of cashews while trying to get to sleep. However, I need to be kind to myself and enjoy the morning’s weigh-in victory: -10.2 lbs. I feel…

Healthier, Happier, Proud
I gained over 100lbs after the pandemic hit and felt a lot of shame around my weight. Last year when I hit 265lbs and started to struggle on the stairs to my apartment, I finally knew it was time to make a change. With a BMI of over 40, and a habit of 3,000-4,000 calories a day, it was a big adjustment for me. This was…

Little victories - down 3 pounds!
I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, so exercise is completely out of the question for me. I also have a strong emotional reaction to feeling hungry most of the time, so I've been aiming for 1600 calories a day and doing pretty well at it. It's been three weeks of counting calories, and I've lost 3 pounds! At this point I…

Consistent tracking
So far I have had success logging food, drinks & condiments. Most recently I have lost 5.1lbs 💪🏼. The reason for my early success is consistency & patience. The MFP app 100% works if you are committed to making a change.

First NSV of the year
Yesterday I had my first NSV of the year. Back in the end of last year, I bought 3 30 day work out plans and yesterday was the first time I finished all 30 days. Usually I'd stop at day 24 and just give up. Or I would skip a day or two and try to do 3 days in one. Exhausting. 30 days doesn't seem like a lot until you have…

Inspired by 30 Days of Accountability
I’m inspired by the other user doing her 30 days of accountability and want to do something similar. I’ve been trying to lose the same 10 pounds for a year and haven’t made any progress, hoping this will help me. I was 141 lbs this morning and have an ultimate goal of 125 lbs, but my end of July goal is 135 lbs.
