I am new here...again. I was on here quite awhile ago and slowly stopped using the app. My weight now is my highest ever. I’m so upset with myself, I don’t know how I let it get this bad. I am open to anyone helping, giving suggestions, adding me - anything.

    Hang in there, I am also a "returnee" with very different goals this time. I can only offer encouragement, and not expertise, as my former athletic knowledge centred on gaining and maintaining a lot of body weight rather than getting rid of it. I have found that using this MFP tool religiously really does help to meet weight loss goals.

    Lookup Dr. McDougal's website and follow the starch solution. I lost 28 pounds in 4 months already. Going for 80 pounds...

    Try to make your day to day goals about the process, not your weight. Logging accurately and consistently, cutting out a habitual food that wastes more calories than its worth, taking a 15 min walk every day, eating more veggies. Give yourself credit for that stuff, and try to look at the number on the scale as just another piece of data.

    Know that you will have bad days, everybody does. And it's no big deal. People who succeed accept that it will happen, and don't let it get in their head, they just keep moving forward.

    Use this time to study your diary and learn from your mistakes to find a way of eating that you enjoy, fills you up, and is practical to keep you at the right calorie level to maintain a healthy weight for the rest of your life. Good luck!

    Or just eat in a calorie deficit

    Counting calories is the biggest and most crucial thing to follow you will not lose anything without a deficit but there are things you can manipulate in the deficit to make things easier

    I lost 30lbs using this site then sadly gained it back (life/health issues) Have lost it again now and aiming to lose another 30lbs this year.

    Consistency is key.
    Stick to your calorie deficit.
    Be patient
    Trust the process. It works.
