Same here am on here to to get rid of the weight h it hard but goin give it a go

Hey guys, my name is Monica, my friends call me Mon. I’m 24 years old.
I have always struggled with my weight, while I was younger I always thought that was overweight and I was very uncomfortable in my own body. It’s funny how you can convince yourself to feel so negatively when it comes to your own body, it’s so easy to do, so I got into the whole gym thing, not really to lose weight but to change my mindset and it was great!

Until a year ago....

One year ago I was struggling with multiple issues through out my body, exteam tiredness, joint pain in my whole body, poor circulation, pins and needles, migraines, fluid in my legs, my kidneys weren’t filtering properly, multiple blood clots blocking blood flow through out my whole right leg, which resulted in ending up in emergency with a Pulmonary Embolism, to be told I have a blood syndrome, Factor IV (clotting factor) and multiple auto-immune positives, yet to be diagnosed. All these issues went on for months and months without any help, I was in and out of the Emergency/doctors/specialist with no answers, until the PE happened.
I am now on warfarin for the rest of my life, with these issues that have left my body riddled with pain.
I’ve gained weight from not being able to move & exercise, mentally I’m probably at my worst in terms of body positivity and head space, but I am so bloody keen to bounce back from this and be happy and feel good again !

Hope everyone is having a lovely day, speak soon xx

Hi, I've been using MFP for a while and I think the community can help me in my journey. I'm looking to lose about 18lbs, it's been a struggle trying to stay on track. I've read through some of the forums and love the positivity! I look forward to meeting new peoe and hearing everyone's progress and tips!

I'm new...again.... Trying to hit some new goals, if possible.

I will not lie I haven't been here for a while I weighed myself this morning and I was up two pounds though it won't show on my progress because I have not recorded anything for 2 months I have been cutting out sugar and bread though so I was very very frustrated so much so that I was going to throw in the towel and say screw this I'm done but as the day went on things got better and I made myself do 23 minutes of yoga needless to say I am doing this when I get to my goal weight I will say it's real

Hi everyone, I have been trying to stay motivated and stay on track to body fat but since having a new born child to look after I am struggling, does anyone have any tips?

Hiya brand new to this

Have been using the app for it's free services for a while but just bought premium to see if it helps. I'm doing well with maintaining weight I just struggle to loose it especially with low fat recipes!! Just want to be able to look down and have a flat belly tbh and not take off with bingo wings 😂😂

Hi, I am new here.
I am 29, 80 kg with 5.11 height. My goad is, to reduce 10 to 15 kg
Thanks

Combat the depression and the goal setting will come back I think.
I seek nature and openness to help me escape the clutches of anxiety and depression.
Meditation and journaling are a big help to me. It allows so much self forgiveness and understanding to materialize.
Do yourself a favor and don't turn to food for comfort. It just ends up making you feel like *kitten* in the end.
Good luck!

Hi how are you

Good luck I need to lose 20lb but am goin do it so good luck 😉

Hi everyone, I’m Pete a player by heart of different sports.

As a junior I was active ice hockey player till B-juniors. Never made it to big cities near, but loved the game and team spirit. Did not really have that final urge to get there, but still play after forty years, beer leagues and an annual tournament is a must.

Started comp sailing at 16-yo. We got closer and closer the national top, and then my helmsman got engaged. Ended our quest about right there at top-5 in the national rankings. Twice in juniors worlds.

Bacame an alpine skiing instructor right after my 18th birthday and taught for about ten years in near by hills. But combining working as a pilot and spending nights at the slopes and occationally making artificial snow few nights around the clock during a week did not go together. Still love to ski though. Not many days in a winter on skis, but when I get up the mountains, I feel liberated and free.

At 25 got inducted into the wonderfull world of the game of golf. Still practice auite a lot and play allmost every day during season mid May till late October. Trying to get better every day, but the better you get the harder it is to improve. Margin of error gets smaller as tou progress. Have levelled at 4.0. Still at 52 trying to get down to scratch.

And in addition to my sports palett I’m vivid tennis player during winter. Seniors leagues and the Seniors nationals are an order.

Anyway. The reason for me getting involved with MFP was that I got so freaking worn out. Started logging and found out, that my intake was about 1000 kcal short. It has really opened my eyes, how much I really need to eat to get more strength and stamina. Not to mention to maintain consistency during a four hour golf game. I often played about 12 to 13 holes really good and then lost focus and made many unexpected errors.

Retired now. Since I started golf and the start was so fast getting into bogey player, I thought that I’ll now dream big and start aiming to scratch. Still on that route.

Got carried away, hopefully that was not too boring read.

Cheers!

Hello all, my name is Amy. I'm 25 years old, 5'2", and I currently weigh about 260 lbs. While I don't have (or want) a goal weight, I'm gunning for 20% body fat. I have been obese for as long as I can remember. I finally decided to grow up and look at myself holistically, acknowledging that I've treated myself like garbage. I'm not here to try getting healthy. I'm here to become a queen. A woman who meets her needs (physically, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally), has standards, enforces boundries, continuously grows, and, above all else, has true self respect. This is do or die for me, because failure means killing the queen inside.

I'm looking for accountability on this journey. Goal is to consistently exercise 3x a week and stop all the sugar stuff.
