in Introduce Yourself
I had lost a total of 100lbs but unfortunately, I have put back 10lbs. It may not seem like a lot, but I’m definitely feeling it. Ready to get back into it with carb cycling and being more consistent with the gym. I could use some friends to help keep me motivated and on track. And I hope I could do the same for others! 💪🏼

    Welcome to the community! <3

    If you haven't already, read the stickies at the top of the getting started forum. Very informative and helpful.

    Buy a food scale. Weigh everything you eat and log into the food diary.

    Good luck with your journey!

    WOW!! you lost 100 pounds. HUGE congrats! Of course now as you know maintaining is the key and the important part. Swing on by the maintenance forum for some ideas. MFP is a really excellent tool and there are some long time maintainers *many have lost as much as you!* who can help you. In the scheme of things 10 pounds should not SEEM like much but I know how you feel. Your armor has a small crack and you don't want it to spread or turn into a windshield blow out. Congrats on taking steps to stop the regain in it's tracks.

    I lost 116, and am now in maintenance, and MAN, is it a whole other ballgame! I definitely could use some others, like you, who are trying not to backslide. You (and anyone) is free to check out my profile and see if we would get along well on here. :-)

    Thank you! It’s a struggle but I’m getting through it! 💪🏼

    The support on here has been so motivational! I’m back to logging in all my food and working out consistently.

    Thanks for the FR. I just accepted it. :)

    Congrats on losing 116lbs!!! That’s amazing! :)

    I thought losing the weight was the hardest part, but I am being proved wrong. Maintenance is by far been my biggest challenge. It is really discouraging seeing my weight fluctuate as much as it does. It’s a constant struggle.

    I just sent you a FR. Let’s kick our maintenance goals butt! ❤️💪🏼
