    I'll give it a go :smile: First off, glad that you are recovering. I think my biggest struggle is staying consistent. Lost 40 lbs a couple years back and then fell off the wagon. It seemed that one thing led to another and the back came the pounds I lost. Almost back to square one and starting over. Glad that I figured out the community thing on here and I am working on building up connections that I can get inspiration and support from and return the favor. Makes the whole journey a bit more fun. My goal is to shed those 40 lbs again and build some muscle tone.

    I'm working more on macros now as the first 15lbs came off by just reducing cals and increasing movement :)

    I have an open diary and really appreciate open diaries for sharing ideas :)

    Thanks for sharing. I agree, that in the beginning having a calorie deficit is probably more important that the distribution of macros.

    Took me a while to play around with the diary setting to get it set up in a way that works for me. Wish I had known about the community before so I could have come here and get inspiration.

    Hey,
    Figured I'd give the community a try and see if it helps. Really wanting to get back in shape and do the right thing. Really motivated just struggle when I go out to eat and have to pick the healthy option while everyone else eats what they want. Looking for people who can help keep me focused on the long term goal rather than the short.

    I will be on for the long term, feel free to add me! But turn off about 3/4 of your notifications in the settings menu...people don't need to know when you become connected to others!!

    I would just leave: weight lost, activities completed and day streak!

    The next pounds will come off with sufficient time in a calorie deficit too. That's how all the calories come off.

    I'm hoping to keep the same rate :) 1.5-2/week...probably feasible...salt may be an issue for me though too

    It's a cute bird, for sure. I don't know why you're flagged for asking though...

    MFP is weird.

    That's probably why.

    Odd. When I get above 200 active friends, I feel like I need fewer (and used to take steps to rectify this problem...back when I was more involved in the MFP community before they fundamentally changed this site). At a certain number, it's unrealistic to connect and interact with too many friends at anything more than a superficial/speaker level.

    Actually Aly writes personal messages on my board sometimes and seems to interact quite frequently with those on her friends list.
