in Introduce Yourself
Hello,

I downloaded MyFitnessPal about 2 years ago. I lost the 30 lbs I wanted and it was great. Well, my weight slowly creeped back up over the past few years. I gained the weight back and then some. It’s very discouraging.

I’m starting a journey to lose 70 lbs, and I was hoping to find some motivation among all of you. My blood pressure cannot handle this weight anymore and I’m hoping healthy lifestyles changes will help me.

I wish all of you the best on your weight loss journeys. We got this!! :)

    I have the same story. Lost 65 and have gained 24 back. Can’t seem to get myself focused and back on track? Looking for accountability and support. Let’s do this together. Live in Los Angeles. What about you?

    I just logged back on as well. I lost about 45 through WW back in 2011/2012. 30 pounds have slowly crept back on. So frustrating!!! I can really feel the weight gain in my physical well-being. I need to do this! Let’s do this together!

    When I read this I could have thought it was me writing. Lol.

    I am totally in the same stage of my fitness as you.

    I wish you all the luck in your conquest.

    Feeling the same. Just struggling to get that drive to get to my goals. Being prediabetic is scary and want to just feel good. Not uncomfortable anymore. Good luck to you!

    You have done it before so you can do it again. This time when you reach your goal weight just keep doing it, just with a few extra calories. If what you are doing to lose the weight isn't something you want to keep doing in maintenance then find a more sustainable way of reducing your calories.
