Starting out (again) and looking for a few friends

Hey, I'm Isabel! I've used MFP a few times in the past off an on and now I'm back again. I've gained about 7lbs in the last month and I'm worried that I'll gain more if I don't get a handle on it now. So I'm looking for a few friends to inspire me, help keep me accountable and to brighten up my timeline.

    Hi, I have used myfitnesspal in the past but have gained all my weight back on. I am struggling through this covid madness and finding it difficult to stay focused. I find it difficult to ask for friends but I am fed up of being alone in this, so here I go. I am trying to lose weight as my health is giving me huge hints. So now is the time to lose it for good.

    I've been on and off this app for years. I've been doing workout videos 6 days a week and now started running as well. I would like some workout buddies. We can exchange food recipes and workout routines. 😀

    Hi Isabel (and everyone else!), I was coming here to say something very similar :) I’ve been using MyFitnessPal for years on and off but want to start using it regularly again. I lost 6lb a few months ago but my motivation dwindled and I put some of that weight back on. I’m mid-way through a Couch to 5k programme which I’ve really enjoyed but I want to get on top of my eating and am looking to make some friends to keep me motivated :)

    Hi, I'm Michal, a gender fluid oldie. Third time on MFP. COVID has 'helped' me put on 20kg, now weigh 129kg. At 69, I need to get down to at least 99kg. I'm sick of not being able to buy clothes off the shelf, looking at myself in the mirror (yuck) and feeling comfortable in my own skin. I do not want to remain morbidly obese and I am borderline diabetic. Today I am being inspired by all your messages.

    Hello there! I joined a few months ago, though I ended up taking a break during a difficult time over the past several weeks. I've recently gotten back into things and have found that this app helps me stay accountable for how I take care of my health.

    Happy to help and provide motivation and friendship to you and anyone else. Cheers to living a healthier life. 😊
