    Hi! I was a very active MFP participant about 8 years ago, and then I let life get in the way. So now I’m back, ready to make my health a priority again!!! Looking to lose about 40ish pounds!

    Hi all! I'm Lauren, 30 from New Jersey and I'm starting over...again.

    I was 3 years strong in the macro tracking game, then I fell off the wagon - HARD.

    2 years of letting the pendulum swing to the other extreme, I'm now starting again with 50 pounds to lose. I'm at my heaviest and my most disappointed. I know I'm making the steps in the right direction again. Really setting the intention of learning how to make this sustainable so I won't ever feel a desire to jump off the wagon.

    Here's to falling in love with the journey.

    Hi Lauren!
    I’m Lucy, 46 from Texas. I too am finally restarting a new lifestyle. I’m counting calories this time. I’m finally beginning an exercise routine and super excited for the challenge ahead. I have about 45 pounds to lose and can’t wait to see what the results look like. Good luck to you on your new journey! I look forward to hearing about your success!

    Hi! My name is Sarah and I’m a 26-year old mother of two toddlers, one and three! My life is crazy busy hectic. Due to this. I’ve made some horrible food choices and am now 275lbs. My goal is to get to a healthy weight range for my height - no specific number in mind! It’s nice to meet y’all!

    Hello!
    A year ago I turned 30, and my body decided to go through a lot of fun changes. One of these changes came in the form of about 30 pounds gained pretty quickly. I am completely new to weight loss, and am a bit out of my depth. Throughout my life, I have been lucky enough to eat pretty much whatever I wanted without gaining weight. I am fairly active, and I workout at least 3 days a week. However, after a year of weighing the most I've ever weighed, I am having trouble losing weight even though I'm working out. Regardless, I need to make a change, and I have decided to turn to a community such as this one. I am excited to learn!

    My name is Steph and I am returning to this app because it worked in the past. Since I’ve stopped tracking I’ve gained 40 lbs from 130 to 170lbs. Looking forward to tracking and being part of this community. Please add me as friend thank you.

    Hi everybody, I'm back to mfp after a few yrs. I'm turning 55 this summer. My weight is stuck no matter what I do. So, I'm back to recording and being accountable. I would like to drop some wt before my birthday. I'm not putting a number on it so I'm not disappointed if I don't get there. So here we go.

    Hello I'm Joanne from Belfast and I'm back to MFP after a few years!!! I'm 47 and have struggled with weight loss all my life. I did go from 14.5 to 10.5 stone for my wedding 24 years ago so know it can be done!! Now though I have 5 stone to lose and haven't a clue about how much carbs/fat/protein I should be consuming each day. I hope to join a group for encouragement with people of a similar weight amount to lose. 🤞

    Hello! I am Susan from Indiana. I have been using this app for 18 days and just realized there was an entire community. My goal is to eventually be down 60 lbs from my starting weight. I had horrible eating habits
    ( i love me some drive thru food 😬) which packed on the weight. I have been eating healthier for 18 days and I already feel so much better. Oh and drinking at least half of my body weight in ounces of water daily.

    Hello - I am not really new, but have never used this app to its full potential. I have been inconsistent until the past few months, and am seeing a registered dietician. I have lost 11 and a half pounds, but have been stuck there since late March. Mostly because of the COVID-19 pandemic. I am looking for inspiration and support to keep me motivated!!!

    Good morning from Oz! When I looked at this three days ago when I joined, it was 'closed'. Where do I post questions? I'm wondering how I remove the kilojoules that are added on for exercise? I want these to just be a bonus and not be added onto the kilojoules that I can eat?

    Its nice to know that I'm not alone :))
    New to tracking calories

    Been on the healthy path from January 2019 after a long history of daily and heavy destructive lifestyle.
    Over-sweetened foods all over the day. Alcohol. Substances abuse. Been broke after reaching the upper hills, and then slowly slipped deeeep deeeep down.

    Now my life changed drastically

    Happy to share my many failures and my few achievements.
    Feel free to text me.
    Will be happy to practice more English also :tongue:

    Hello starting a new me. Need to work on eating right and losing weight

    Hey everyone

    Been around a while but just gone premium. Having no luck losing weight at all. Tried just calorie counting, now trying insanity and gaining weight and inches.

    Feeling really upset and hoping the groups here can offer some advice and help!

    I'm 30 years old and horribly obese, but due to years of competitive swimming still have a decent fitness level. I'd love to get in shape or even just drop a couple of Jean sizes.

    Thanks all!

    Hi all, I need to lose weight I put on while recovering from coronavirus.

    I need to lose at least 2 stone, ideally 4. I can't talk to any of my friends as they are all being easy on themselves due to lockdown! I can't say I blame them but I really need to lose weight to get healthier, and have no-one to talk to about this (except for my healthy-weight partner, who has never struggled with weight, so doesn't really get it....).

    Please feel free to add me - would like the motivation of some people to chat to.
