Trying this once again! :)

Hi everyone! I am back to another weight loss challenge for myself! I've struggled for years with eating disorders and used to be severely underweight. I now am at my heaviest and am trying so hard to loose weight the healthy way this time. I also love to enjoy cocktails (especially because it's summer!) I'm four days "sober" with not drinking and I feel very accomplished already! Any tips on staying satisfied or maybe drinking in moderation? TIA. :)

    I’m in the same boat! I’d lose weight just to gain it back. Never consistent! Good luck on your journey and I hope you are successful!

    Hey! Me too! I’m not a big drinker, only occasionally on weekends + vacations, but I’ve been eating like an *kitten* the past few months and have definitely gained some lbs. 😩 I’ve been doing ok the past week or so though, so here’s hoping it continues! 🤞🏼

    Hi! I am in your boat - used to be under and now I’m over... haven’t even updated my stats to my new heaviest weight bc I’m ashamed of it.
    I’m restarting today - feel free to friend me!

    What I am trying is in my MFP diary section I added one very blatantly titled "Alcohol" all drinks breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, whenever...goes in the alcohol section.

    I think accurately and honestly logging is the answer to most issues here on MFP.

    Stick with it.

    Hi! I just started once again, too. I’ve always struggled with being overweight. I’m really motivated to make a change this time so I hope that helps me stick to it!

    I think support from others helps too. Would anyone like to be “friends” and help encourage each other? We can’t do this alone! 😊

    Feel free to add me.
