On my MFP friend feed, someone asked about my experience with loose skin, as someone who lost weight at 60+. Not the first time the question has come up.

Due to poor eating and a sedentary lifestyle due to osteoarthritis in the knees I've become obese. My job is primarily a desk position. I get up every hour or so to stretch and move. What are some good, low impact exercises I can do to boost my metabolism without putting more strain on my joints?

Success! Started 8 weeks steps : Week 1 daily aver 2,422 By Week 8 Aver 3,645! In 💔heart failure
In December, I heard words I hadn't heard before. "You have microvascular angina."

This had been ongoing, but with no real answer as to why. I knew I was also in…

I Hit a Mini-Goal!
I (43F) started this journey in February 2024 at 260 lbs (6'1"). I have been walking 20-30 minutes a day most days (I try to do an hour on Sundays) and tracking my calories. Sometimes I miss a day of walking, and sometimes I go over my calorie goal. Today I finally hit my latest mini goal of 225, which felt like it took…

30 days to self-awareness. Let's see what we learn!
I’ve dieted most of my life. The pattern was always the same—I’d get really thin, then gain the weight back. Last year, after spending a whole year being “skinny” and starving to stay that way, I’d had enough. I decided to stop chasing a number and start building strength. I took up weight training and stopped restricting…

I Lost 68 Pounds of Fat in Five Years – This Is What I Learned
For the last year or so, I've considered sharing more details about my physique transformation, but I’ve held off because I just haven't felt like I was "there" yet. It recently occurred to me that "there" is ever-evolving, and I can celebrate my accomplishments even though I know there will be more to come. (Upper body…

I am so freaking proud of myself!!
Seven years ago my mom paid for all of her children and grandchildren to go on a family vacation. It should have been the vacation of a lifetime - there was hiking, rafting, sleeping under the stars at night, and wonderful gourmet meals cooked for us every breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But I was too heavy to do most of the…

I CAN DO THIS!
I’m tired. Tired of carrying this postpartum weight for years. Last year, I lost 12 kg—but there’s still a long way to go to feel truly healthy, active, and at peace in my own body. I’m tired of hating my reflection in the mirror. Tired of feeling low when clothes don’t fit. Tired of turning to food when hopelessness…

Things were so much easier when I was young
I didn’t have a weight problem, I spent the majority of my life being slim. Even after having three kids, I maintained my size 4 figure. The kids grew up, moved out. Like all kids they still need their mom at times. My work life became very stressful, my hours would go up and then they would go down. I struggled with…

8 Months, 8 Stone Down - My Journey (So Far)

Binge eating is rough..
I'm going to take accountability for this, but I have been on a weight loss journey for some months now, and it's been going well, right? Wrong. It is so hard for me not to grab a snack every time I go into the kitchen, it's to the point I try to go as far away from the kitchen as possible or take a nap when I'm hungry so…

A small post about big results (300 lbs -> 220 lbs)
I am not sure I have much to teach anyone but hopefully some will find this post inspirational. I have been large most of my life and have hit 300 lbs twice. Once in high school and again some time after graduating college. In June 2022, just before my 29th birthday, I did a lot of research into the best ways to lose…

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 😊.

Thin crust pizza. Or regular crust ?
I feel that a thin crust pizza is healthier than regular crust. When i do pizza. i aways do the thin crust. I can't do red sauce causing me heartburn. I choose the white sauce. My toppings are pretty healthy. What's your thoughts on pizza. When burning calories above 1000?
