It's not that it doesn't work, its that when I am stalling, which is all of the time, I sometimes feel like I need a clean slate.

How about you?

    No, still using my first account. Whether I am active or not, gaining, losing or maintaining I have kept the same profile. No use lying to myself.

    I have this one and one other, but the other one is for fiddling around with settings when people seem to be having issues so I don't mess with this account which is the one I actually use.

    I treat those who continually come back with different accounts with suspicion like they are married or going out with someone, did something they shouldnt have done with someone on this site, got caught out, left, come back and the cycle repeats itself.

    @_ddgjr_ not implying this to you but just what I have noticed.

    I'm still using the same account, but I HAVE reset my starting weight, multiple times. If I've been away for too long, it's more fair to me to know where I am this time around, rather than give myself credit for past attempts.

    Same account since 2012 through the ups and downs. Data is your friend and fragmenting accounts costs data. I could not imagine deleting an account and starting from scratch. That being said, run with that which works for you, Good Luck!

    I have only had one account with MFP.
    Before that I stuck with another site for years with the same account. I'm glad I did that because I have a record of all those years even the unsuccesful ones. I changed my username once there but it was the same account.
    Mostly I think it is a pain to start new accounts, remember lots of usernames, etc.

    Same, I've been on and off here since 2010, and every time I come back I use a different account. I've had this one for a while now though so I'm hoping to not go away again.

    I'm on my only account. I wonder what this, "clean slate", others have referred to is? If its that clean in the first place why do you need to change it?

    The only clean slate I can hope to achieve is by rectifying, as far as possible, the damage caused by my allergies and intolerance's. The first allergy, I know I encountered was to penicillin back in the 1960's. That's when my clean slate went, West! I'd not realised, neither did my doctors then, that penicillin was actively killing off my digestive microbes which formed my delicate digestive and immune systems which, might have done the job by themselves had it been given time to sort the tonsillitis. Antibiotics probably contributed to my having Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. After that, naturally I used other antibiotics, because I was told "I needed" them. (I always took the number, in the right way, to make sure they were not wasted too, building to antibiotic resistance.)

    Now I find, I need special low histamine daily probiotics, to give me a life worth living. This and eliminating other health problems, intolerance's related to a compromised digestion etc, are bringing me to the only "clean" state I require. Me with my health back. Thank you.
