    I'm Dave, 5'10, 316 lbs. I used to be in shape. Now I'm just a shape. I was an ex pro hockey player, but I can't even tie my skates anymore. UGH!!! I seem to do well, then the binging happens and it's just throw everything down my face hole. I have a 3 year old daughter that I want to see grow up. I don't want to die!!

    Dave, how is your progress coming ? your daughter is truly blessed as she will grow up with positive habits.

    Hyia everyone new, welcome, welcome!

    Just hanging out around here after dropping down by about 125 back in 2014-2016. The hanging out is kinda part of the plan after Garlfied went splat in order to avoid a trampoline like bounce-back!

    Call-z-ies... boy am I ever forgettable! Glad you dropped by.... cause there seems to be a dearth of doggie people here?! :confused: JUST KIDDING! :lol: We gots lots of puppies! :love:

    Don't know if I've posted here but I've been checking in and reading all your great posts the past month or so and friended a few of you. Thank you everyone for the advice I've read here. I have started to track my weight with Libra and weigh myself almost every day. I'm 41 years old and started at 321lbs back in Nov. of 2018. Joined MFP in May of this year after I had started to regain weight I had lost in 2019 and 2020. I had gotten down to 265lbs at some point in 2020 and started on MFP May 15, 2021 at 279.2. since then I have lost about 33.5 lbs. I will try to post on your forums more so we can get to know each other better.

    Hello, @pamelaromanczuk25, and welcome!
    There is an amazing archive of information in this group - I learned so much when I found my way here. NovusDies told me about the group - and you will find some amazing, groundwork posts by him.

    Looking forward to seeing you in the forums!

    Glad you caught that backslide before you slid very far.

    Hi, I'm a newbie too. Today is my second day and I found this group. I have already lost 75 lbs. on own and then just lost all motivation and willpower. Thank goodness I didn't gain anything. I have this medical condition that at the moment is fixed, but I have no idea how long it will last. To get it permanently fixed I need to lose at least 41 more. Then I still have another 70 after that. So for those of you keeping track, I started at 366, am currently at 291, need to get down to 250 to have the procedure and would like to finish this journey around 180 or maybe a little less. So this is the start of my new life. I feel good about it and with that, I am going to bed. Good night!

    Hi @imgonnadoit123 and @jsmh2 just popped in for a quick check in this morning - but want to say "welcome" to you both.

    Will check in again (with more time) later today. Come look around.

    Hi. I’m doing okay. I kept under my calorie limit even while watching football on tv today which is a first. How are you?

    Hi all,

    Used MFP to lose 297lbs a few years ago.

    Some health issues and covid lockdowns have seen me being less active and motivated as i should have been and slid backwards a fair bit.

    Been back for a few weeks getting back the focus needed to succeed.

    Feel free to add me if you are looking for buddies. MFP works!

    I'm doing well @imgonnadoit123 . glad you "won" the football watching game!

    Welcome @GatorHfx - 297lbs!!!! - what a feat that is. You can slide forward again (though it isn't really much of a "slide" going in that direction, unfortunately :( )

    See you gents around the threads. Come join me in the daily check-in, where you basically come up with any specific goals you want to work on, and check in everyday to report your successes...(or chagrin...)

    I don't think I've ever come across anyone who has lost that much more than me (192 pounds). 297? That is freaking impressive!!!!!!!!! well done, even with a bit of backslide!

    Hi! 👋

    Someone left the back door unlocked, so I snuck in to check out the group. In 2018 and 2019, I lost 65 lbs, regained some during the height of the pandemic stress, and lost that but am working on another 35ish lbs.

    I really have no goal weight in mind — my ultimate goal is to land somewhere reasonable and sustainable where chronic inflammation and pain isn’t such a chore.

    (insert string of profanities) i keep TELLING them to lock that door! ;) good grief, just ANYONE can wander in!

    how do you think *I* got in.

    oh, pav let me in. that's right. hm. He probably regrets that now....

    😂🤣

    I thought I smelled cheeseburgers …what can I say? 🤪

    Hurrying to change my screen name to ANYONE 😇
