Ugh!! How do we end up on this endless cycle?! Going out to eat last night for my daughters birthday.. I realized I looked like I was 7 months, if not 8 months pregnant.. step on the scale.. 242.. umm what?! In September I started low carb at about 230 pounds.. got down to 205 by mid October.. and yes.. I know that getting off low carb will cause you to put weight back on.. but up to 242.. which brought me back to MFP.. and I’m not doing low carb now.. just trying to track macros and make healthier choices.. looks like I logged in for a week 4 months ago.. First time I logged into MFP.. was 8 maybe 9 years ago? Maybe 10? I dunno.. but here I am.. with a goal weight of 150.. and a major back injury and surgery that has left me disabled.. so exercise is so very limited.. I think I currently have a goal of 2 days a week for 15 minutes.. I have to change my step goal because there’s no way I can do 10k a day.. not yet. But I’m making it a goal. So if you’re anything like me.. and struggle with the motivation.. Feel free to comment! Or even add me. I signed up for the premium account in hopes that if I’m paying for it.. it will keep me more motivated. So here we go!! Day 1!

Yeah I've been here before but back again. Always been successful at just counting calories but, at some point, just fell back into bad food again.
Still working from home with my wife and always seemed a lot more doable when we're not driving around with temptation everywhere. Want to be where I was 20 years ago in my early 20s. Plan on reaching 180 again by, hopefully, the end of the year. I've lost 32 lbs from October-February already but just have to continue making the right choices. Anybody that reads this, feel free to send me a friend request. Have a great week.
Discipline during lockdown months awful so back to MFP I go.
Good luck to all returning.
I’m almost 10lb down but still have over 40lbs to lose.
We WILL do this!
Feel free to add me, everyone needs support, motivation and the occasional kick 😆
Having some friends on here definately helps, and signing up for team like challenges helps keep me motivated. Good luck - feel free to add me as a friend!

Sorry I’m just seeing these! I never got any notifications! But yes, we’ve totally got this.. again. 🤦🏻♀️🤣
I hear you.. sounds like we’ve been on a very similar journey.. I’m on meds for my pain that cause weight gain as well.. it’s an endless cycle for sure! Motivation is so hard for me.. that’s why I came back to MFP.. I know the community will keep me accountable!
