    Hi there! Congrats on your loss thus far... that's a great start! :smile: I'm down about 38 lbs. from my highest weight (which I accomplished with the help of WW). MFP is a GREAT website... lots of support & ideas here! Welcome!

    Hey Everyone,

    I'm kinda new to this. I started back in October and really never went anywhere with it, but now I'm back and ready to go. I recently got a membership to Planet Fitness and have been going 2-3 times a wk, but my bingeing on food needs to stop. I get so hungry after working out and then all I want to do is eat. If anyone has any recommendations as to what to do when this happens, hit me up...I NEED inspiration :)

    Welcome to MFP,


    It's good to hear the news on your loss since January. I was out for a walk too this morning and you are right about it being a start. When I decided to make a lifestyle change back at the end of October, I found it difficult to walk two miles without taking a break. This morning I walked just over six miles and nearly six and quarter. And I wouldn't say it was a snap, but when you make a decision and stick too it you will get the results.

    Best of luck and anyone here is more than welcome to add me as a friend.

    Cheerz,

    Vasyl

    To the person who has mentioned their starting to going to Planet Fitness that is great, but I what helped me a lot was learning how to eat healthier foods - I stay away from processed and highly processed foods completely and that is what has made a big difference this time around in trying to get rid of my extra weight.

    You are more than welcome to add me as a friend. Remember, every journey starts with a single step!
