Need friends and buddies

Hi! I'll add you!

Hi! I did this before. Initially had some good results, but since hitting menopause I started gaining weight while not eating very much at all. Last go round with MFP I gained two lbs after a month, and really lost heart in the process. I was being so good–weighing everything, entering recipes, but still, the weight keeps creeping up. Have always, always, exercised, but need to modify due to injury-i.e. can't run, do yoga, or lift super heavy weights, but can spin, do pilates, lift light weights. Have worked up to being able to do push ups again after an intense shoulder injury. Walk a ton. Now after going on a plant based diet recommended by my primary care and gaining 7 pounds in two weeks in the process, I'm back. My drs think I'm making a big deal out of nothing because technically I'm really healthy, but I'm at my wits end. I don't want to go out and see old friends because I'm so self conscious. I would love to see a nutritionist, but sadly it's not covered by my insurance and isn't in the budget. I used to never think of having to loose weight–if I gained a few lbs, all I needed to do was cut out a dessert or two. If I was stressed, I would actually get too skinny. My gyn says that the weight gain is purely due to menopause, but it's 30 lbs, and it keeps going up! I was hoping it had evened out, but just recently it's been skyrocketing again. I don't know what to do.

Hi, I am Hannah. A 31 year old secondary teacher from Liverpool, England. Looking to make some FP friends to help to motivate me! :-) x

Hello everyone, I've been on here for awhile. I'm looking for friends for motivation and encouragement. I'm on a weight loss journey to lose 20+ pounds, tone up, and eat clean. So please add me!

You can add me girl

Hi!! I'm up for more support. I've been on the journey for a long time, but I've decided that this is going to be my year. Add me.

Hello guys, looking forward in completing my quest to be better than i was when i was in my 20's. Looking at pics from my teens, 20, and early 30's i stayed lean and soild all year... when i reached my late 30's i lost my motivation and gained a lot of weight, FF after making my mom a promise to lose this weight 2 days before she passed on, my drive has returned, the same drive i had when i played college and pro football. looking to build new friendships,and to help encourage one another.

Good morning! I lost 60 pounds a year and a half ago with changing my life and eating......in the past 3 months I'm steadily gaining it back. Now I'm 30 pounds up and have to stop making excuses and get back to my routine. You can add me and I'm more than happy to add as well. I'm new to the message boards even thou I've been on fitness pal for years, I think it's time I received help from others in the same situation instead of thinking I'm okay doing this on my own.
