Fitness Pal friends. My problem is food.
It’s either eating to little or to much.
Thanks to my Fitness Pal
I’m finally eating better with it.
My exercise is going good.
I love doing Zumba! I loved
doing it so much that I’ve 3 certifications in it.
I teach at 2 local mental health places.
I’ve been with Zumba since March 4th 2017.
I like going to the gym and going on the
treadmill, and the machines too.

I need plenty of support and help and I’m willing to do the same for others on this journey!!

Yes I do

Yes please

Hello there!
Total noob here. Where do I start? I'll be 49 on 11th March, I'm 5' 4" been a bit overweight most of my life. I was athletic once, for about a year in my early thirties, had a baby when I was 38 and due to the shock of this I was about 8.5 stone (54kg-ish) just after having my daughter. Then I gave up smoking completely and ballooned to 13.5st (85.7kg). I have been battling, winning, then losing with my weight ever since. I had some success with the Michael Mosely "5&2", though I did "4&3", last spring and went from 12st (76.6kg) to 10.5st (66.5kg) in about 3 months. I wear a fit2 watch now I got free with my last mobile contract and walk every day with my dog Jake. I average 20k steps a day. However, my weight did creep up a bit as I can really love my food, then at the tail end of last year my dog tore his tendon and was banned from all walks except for toilet trips while he healed, (5 mins, on lead, 3 x a day!00), and, ironically, I slipped a disc and after an MRI it looked as though I was heading for a spinal surgery but, thankfully, I was put in contact with a marvellous chiropractor who rescued me but I was also reduced to being sedentary for months. Both mutt and me are back on track with walking again and I started dieting 2nd week in January on the Mosley diet when I was 12.5st (79.6kg). I started using MFP after a couple of weeks but on my diet days the diary wouldn't complete, stating I wasn't eating enough! I have managed to get down to 11st 3lb (71.5kg) but it's been slowing down and my daughter, now 10, was off school on half term last week and I found it impossible to fast and make lunch for her, so I tried My Fitness Pal while she was off and it wasn't terrible. I lost 2lb. Fasting does make me irritable on diet days, (My daughter calls me "Hangry"!) and I think I'm finding MFP easier than fasting but I want to reach out to other users for motivation, tips etc. Questions. Should I go Premium? If you are using MFP do you input all your cardio? I input my lifestyle ad "active" as I walk so far adding the exercise bumped my calorie intake by 700kcals for the 2 x 90 min walks. I've adjusted my lifestyle to "Lightly active" and I'm down to 1200kcals a day but I add my walks. Does eating all those added calories stunt your weight loss much? I hear using MFP with friends can be a real motivator. How do I add/find friends? None of my mates are as into MFP as me! (sniff). P.S. My username is Mx6goatgirl.

I could definitely use more encouragement. Doing it alone is tough!

Need friends!

Ayyyy that'd be me
