2019 Welcome Noobs to MFP

bstrick74

New to the community, but used the app a few years ago when I lost 100#’s. Long story short. Injured knee finally was operated on and used it as an excuse to let myself go. Back at the grind and the excuses are being left at the door. Decided to try and find likeminded people in the community to make it more of an experience this time around. Thanks.

Hi all. New here. 10 year breast cancer survivor. Radiation nuked my thyroid so my weight is an issue. Turning 60 in Sept and I'd like to drop 25 or more pounds. I've been thin most of my life so I'm terrible at diets and restriction. 😊 I'm a carb loader and a sugar addict. I eat mostly organic but have terrible eating habits.
Any support would be great!

Hello. I dropped 155 in 2011-2014 and gained 55 back. Looking to lose 45 of it here. Fighting fatigue and am a paleo cooker. Hope to meet a good support group.

I too have discs issues (DDD) and was diagnosed with Grave's way back in '97 at age 19. Over the course of years I eventually had radiation treatment and now I suffer from Hypothyroidism... basically the opposite of Grave's.

hi, new here. Definitely don't know what I'm doing, I'm doing a whole lifestyle change for the first time in my life which includes healthier eating and exercising. <<(also some things I've never done before) So if anybody can help a noob like me get a little healthier and stay that way, it would be much appreciated. Hope y'all are having a great day or night!

Good morning. I'm Dawayne. I fell off for a little while but I'm back on the horse and ready to reach my goal.

Hello, I am Ryo. I made an account a while ago, but didn't really use it. Now I am trying to get back to my goal. I used to be strong and fit, and a healthy 92 lbs. Now I have become much thinner and weaker and have become around 103 lbs. I must change that, so here I am to keep track. Good luck, all!

Hello, Although I joined MFP years ago, I never really committed (used Lose It! instead). Last year, I signed up with Noom which will end in a few weeks. It's a good program but requires a great deal of daily activities and reading to complete within the app and also could use an upgrade. So now I am ready to commit to myself using MFP. My highest weight was 325 and have released 131 pounds. I've gained 50 and plan to release a total of 70.

Hi everyone! Like many people here, I have had MFP for several years now and have followed many diets and exercise regimens to lose and am hoping that this time around will be my best. I have been overweight my entire life but have always stayed active. Right now, I am consulting with several doctors on how to lose weight and keep it off so that I can avoid having major surgery in the next year or so. I am starting a macro/keto eating 'lifestyle' (50f/30p/20c) in order to retrain my body to burn fat. I am ready to reach a few goals as well as to lose #s, join me on being a healthier person!!

Hi there, Everyone. I'm a Noob. I've lost 30 pounds "on my own" with just using a written food log, reducing portions, and exercising. Now, I've hit a plateau and am hoping to learn from you guys here at MFP forums.

Question - how do I see who “likes” “hugs” and etc my posts? I click on the link and all it says is I can’t like my own post.

To my knowledge you can't. I've tried it via the web app and the phone app, I get the same response on both. Just another way MFP breaks our hearts!

Hi been on MFP for a while but need to start taking it seriously again. Would love some friends to help me along the way.

tess77h

Hi Everyone, this is my third go around with MFP over the last few years. Good intentions are not getting it done. I'm not only overweight but I'm T2D and have started having some issues because of it. My goal is to lose a total of 100# but I am setting my first goal at 25# in three or four months. Looking for ideas and support.

Hi All.

Question... will fasting break my logging in streak? I drink some tea or coffee and am doing exercises that I post.

Totally open to new friends too. This process is always more fun with friends, right?

Hello.. I am restarting my journey once again after too much neglect. I am up 30 plus pounds in 2 years and inflammation has gotten worse as well as my the asthma. Just pulled a meniscus in left knee and have trigger finger in my right hand. On the last time around my fitnesspal and groups was invaluable and I lost the needed weight with the love and support of it's family. So I am back to start new and hoping to make friends to also encourage and be encouraged. You can add me to your friends list

Hello everyone, My name is Steph. I lost about 70 lbs and then fell off the wagon. I'm back on it now though and trying to navigate the new food world (I was a vegan) and now going to try low carb. Getting married in December and I really want to fit in a nice dress.

Hi! I'm brand new... very nervous, but my name is Alyssa. I hope to lose 15-20 lbs.

I accidentally bought a gorgeous dress in a size that is slightly too small for me. Hence, I need to fit my upper back into it because it cost $200. At least it's a jumpstart?
