Welcome New Members!

HI HI my name is bre and I love motivating people I’m new and just letting you all know you’re amazing keep it up loves🦋🤍

Hi! joined the app again after not using it for a long time and I got my sister to join also!
I'm amazed at when I track my foods how much sodium and fats are in everything. Don't want to do whole30 again though. Enjoy reading the blog posts for extra insight and recipes also.

Hello!! I am brand new to the app and also new to tracking food. My doctor told me I need to track my calories so here we go!! Long story short, had a melanoma removed from my leg in April 2018, 1 year of chemo, and a crap ton of bad side effects including rheumatoid arthritis and a broken pancreas. I've been packing on the lbs this year and I have had enough!!! Ready for a change!

I'm returning to MFP and want to lose weight and look trim and be healthy and energetic because I want to find a job in a few months when my contract job is over and look presentable. COVID19 has kept me less active and I want to make a turn-around and like my appearance better.

Hello everyone!
In my 20s through early 40s I was in the gym everyday always had the drive and motivation to push myself further. Running, weights, you name it I was doing it.
Heading into my 50s now something has changed, just not feeling motivated to workout at home, I do walk every evening but its not cutting it.
I'm excited to meet like minded people and get this body off the COVID couch and drop 25-30lbs.

Hello all - joined MFP to track my low carb eating. I finally saw the dreaded 3 on the scale when weighing myself after a few months of denial (we know what that 3 means right? 300.4... yikes!). Working at home during COVID (5 feet from the fridge) made it easier to be lazy and eat the wrong things all day, I estimate that I put on about 20 pounds. I had enough when going for my walks I noticed my left thigh getting numb plus I was tired from literally doing nothing but sitting most of the day.

I had bloodwork done. Back in the pre-diabetes range. Did some research, read about low carb diets doing wonders for insulin resistance and have been following the diet for 4 weeks now (along with exercise). 4 week weigh-in was today (I weigh myself only once per week): 276.8! My goal is 215 (which might be high for 5'10" but I have one of those big frames, I'll see at 215 if I want to lose more..). Oh, and all my glucose readings are normal!

Anyway I am inspired by many of the stories I have read here so far. The MFP app is great to keep my eating on track. I am never hungry eating low carbs, my cravings for the "bad food" is all in my head but I have so far been able to focus on health and ignore that voice that says "one slice of pizza won't hurt you!". I knew a few people who lost a lot of weight only to put it back on, they admitted that having no plan once they got to their goal was a big problem with gaining the weight back. So I have a plan that includes keeping my current diet with some carbs added back in once I'm at my goal. Also keep the weekly weigh in for life - the scale will tell me if and when I need to adjust. Keep up the good work everyone and I'm glad to be here!

Hello ! I have been off here for awhile. I joined ww awhile ago and really am getting no where's with it, So here I am again. So ready to get healthy and start feeling better. If anyone ha any ideas about cutting back breads etc please I will take any advice. I notice I get really stiff and sore if I eat to many.

Hello everyone! Time to get in shape, other than round. Like most, over the years you loose motivation, until one day you stop and look in the mirror and comment to yourself, “What in the world am I doing to myself?”.

Anyway, I am new here looking for like minded people whom are tired of being who they are, physically, and want to make a change. I am hoping to find someone to keep me focused and accountable. I have always found it easier to have workout partners to motivate and keep each other on track.

If you are looking for a friend with the same mindset give me a shout.

Hey guys, i'm not entirely new, had an account years ago but it seems to have gotten deleted due to inactivity or else i just forgot the details

Not sure how much I have left to lose, i'm 234lbs, down from 267 at the turn of the year and, aiming for about 210 (im tall and stocky) and see how I look and feel from there. Love seeing peoples progress so feel free to send me a friend request, i I update every day

Feel free to add me ... Going to try to stick with it this time. I need to control my snacking .... the more i excercise the hungrier I get .. .. will try to balance the seesaw better this time

This is very common problem of regaining the lost weight and should find some very good solution to it

Rejoined MFP yesterday but I'm doing this for life this time. So help me God.

Hey everyone, going to be really working toward this weight loss. I used to be 185, pretty strong, and since the quarantine, I've really put on weight. I'm now watching what I eat and finding creative workouts with resistance bands to exercise at home, and it's already showing progress. Hope you all achieve your goals too!

Hello everyone! MFP is a great app and has worked great with my watch and Endomondo workout tracker.

I have been very inconsistent and never made my journey public. But this time I wanted to do things differently and get out of my shell so I am on this journey to lose 20lbs and reduce sugar so I can get healthier. So hopefully I make some new accountability friends
