my last attempt

Bethffdp

Hi all,

My whole life i have been on aand off a weightloss journey. Im determined this time to turn it into my life- not just a phase. I would love to have like minded individuals to add as friends and support each other!

A little about myself. Im 27 y/o and work from home which has been detrimental to gaining weight. I hit my highest weight in March and was tired of not living. I do use a glp1 to support my weightloss- not replace learning new habits and making conscious choices. Im trying to learn about my food addiction and become comfortable with not using food as a coping skill.

Please feel free to add me!

Have you considered joining a group here on MFP? When I first started my journey I joined a LOT! There are so many to choose from. There are some mentioned here on the Motivation and Support thread, but most are on the challenges thread. There is something for everyone.

In January 2023, I weighed 228 pounds. I made a commitment to lose weight, become more active, and break some unhealthy habits. I was determined that it would be my last attempt. Like so many times before, I started out motivated... but I knew myself well enough to know that eventually I'd get bored. I needed something or someone that would keep me engaged, accountable, and make this more of a game.

That's when I discovered the Challenges page on MyFitnessPal. Like I said, I tried many, but in the end there were two groups that I ended up staying with that helped me not only lose weight, but get to my goal weight (losing 90 pounds). It took me two years, but I did it!  The best part? I never got bored! The Biggest Loser Challenge, and (if you are a Harry Potter Fan), the Hogwarts Challenge and both starting up again soon. By the way, I am still with the challenges even after getting to my goal weight, they both have a maintenance phase as well, and I have been within my goal range for a year and a half now. I couldn't have done it without these two groups.

Here is the link to the sign ups for the Biggest Loser if you are interested.
