I’m coming, coming back, back to MFP!

Hey! I’ve been here off and on for at least 10 years. I’m in a place where I’m finally prioritizing myself, more educated, and also giving myself grace when I slip up. Realistically, I need to lose at least 130 pounds. But my number 1 goal is to just live a more comfortable, pain-free life.

I’ve been working at this consistently for the past 5 weeks. About a month before I got on the app, again. I’m exercising/weight training 3+ times a week and meal prepping 2 times a week.

My diary is public. Let’s be friends so we can give each other motivation and meal ideas!

Hello Fellow Loser (meant in the winningest of ways)! I am back after many on-and-off attempts at losing weight over the years. I am 70 years old but young at heart. My biggest loss was 30 pounds when I turned 60, but I gained that back and then some. Now I am approaching my senior, senior years and I am uncomfortable moving about in the world. I am quite fearful of being physically unable to move and/or be a burden to those who must care for me, if it comes to that in the future. I am still very independent but must prepare for the future and for a more enjoyable life now. I need to lose just about the same amount of weight that you do but would be happy with 50 pounds as a first goal. I am much older than you but hope you will accept me as a friend in weight loss.

Good morning, I also have been on and off MFP over the years. But this is the frist time I paid for the app. In the past I would just do the free one. Hoping that maybe if i paid for my app, this time i will stick it out. I'm not sure my dairy is public or not. But I will check. I have about a 100 lbs to lose. We can buddy up, it would be nice to have some people to go on this journey with.

Wow. I just realized I no longer have a newsfeed ( didn’t have any friends so wasn’t looking before now). How do I get/give inspiration with pals in a direct way now?
Is interaction only by posting in groups?
Grrr.

Some people also participating in threads in the Motivation or Challenges parts of the Community here. There are lots of different options there. I also like some long-running threads where people share exercise routines, meal photos, etc.
