    Hi! I’m new to this app. After losing weight this past year, I am now trying to maintain my weight. I needed some new ideas for workouts and meals so I thought I’d give this app a try. I’m still trying to navigate the app so I haven’t recorded anything yet. Hopefully, I’ll be able to continue maintaining.

    I think I have to be the most embarrassed person on this website. I had the gastric bypass surgery 14 years ago(already) and have gained 60 lbs. back. I really hate telling people because I feel like a failure in the fact I haven't kept it off. Well, I am going to give this a try. I hate keeping a food diary, but this is very simple. I am hopeful. Thanks for the support I will get and I will throw my support out there to those who need it.

    I lost a lot of weight a few years ago, I'm not sure of the pounds lost but I went from wearing size 14 jeans to wearing size 7/8 and even a couple pairs of 5/6. That weight loss was partially due to a very stressful time in my life that had me just not eating or eating just enough to sustain myself. Then after my stress level started to come back to normal I started walking 2 miles a day and eating low-carb. I did a decent job of maintaining and I have def not gained it all back, I can't wear the 5/6 jeans anymore but I'm not back into double digit sizes. In 2018 I got very lax in watching what I eat, and walking on the treadmill was not really doing anything for me; then my hubby & I lived for 3 months in a motorhome, doing our workouts in our garage, while we built an apartment to live in. Thankfully, the town we work in has a new 24 hr gym, so I am on week 2 of a 12 week weight training/cardio fat burning plan and I'm determined to get back to a weight and size that I can be proud of! So far MFP has been a great resource for helping me track calories and opening my eyes to what nutrients I should be paying attention to.

    Hi, Today is the first day on this site. So far I like it. The food tracker I was surprised how friendly it was to use. I am determined to lose 40 lbs. I really would prefer 50 lb. but 40 Would be easier to keep off. I would like to find some people that would give moral support and I would do the same for them. Lots of success to all in this healthy lifestyle journey. Team Work. :)

    I'm back and need support and motivation. I need consistency and accountability. (I don't want the latter, but I NEED it.) ;-) Hoping to finally do it this time... I have a LONG way to go.

    I have only been doing this for two weeks. Nothing else I have ever done has made me want to stick to it. I finally figured if I want to be happy and healthy. I got be able to eat the foods I enjoy within reason of course. Goodbye to all those other diets I have done! I can eat bread in moderation and not feel guilty. 😁😁

    Hi. My name is Jessica. I'm new here and really hopeful that this can help me take off so pounds. I recently went to the dr and found out I gained another 20 lbs. Needless to say I wasnt happy with myself. I'm hoping to lose anywhere from 40 to 50 lbs. It's going to be a process. I thi k the hardest part so far is to stop eating when I'm board. That's one of my biggest habits. So far I'm doing good. But I always watch myself walking into the kitchen and looking at food. So hard!!!

    Been a member since 2011 but I can't recall ever posting or following the plan. Back in 2011 I slowly started to put on weight that year and after a bout with cancer from 2013-2018, I've peaked and stayed at my all-time high. I've half-heartedly tried to lose it and now I've just come off of WW after only a loss of 1.5 pounds in the last 3 months; so now I'm trying something different.

    Butterfly Bren you don't necessarily have to cut carbs just get rid of refined ones and go into a calorie deficit but I understand why you would want to cut carbs as it lowers your appetite but eating fiber revs up metabolism.for me I can't do low carb it gives me headaches so i just eat plant based with some meat.but each individual is different.

    interesting you say you get headaches I wonder if that's why I'm having headaches lately because I'm cutting back on the carbs I never put the correlation together

    Hi
    I'm wanting to lose 25kg and looking for moral support too.
    How about we check in with each other for highs and lows and share what we're up to?
