Happy belated birthday!🥳
I agree with you - nothing holds you more accountable than logging everything you eat. It can be quite the eye-opener sometimes 😖
I’m trying to post everything I eat even on days I go off the rails. Now THAT can be depressing 😂😂

You can do it. It's a two steps forward, one step back game for me, but that's okay.
This is so much me lately. Winter blues have kicked in full force, it's so hard for me to get motivated to do ANYTHING other than curl up in a blanket with Netflix.
So much THIS☝️😕

So do I. But if I'm really honest, when I go off the rails, I don't usually close my diary as I don't really want to draw attention to it in my Newsfeed. When I have a very good healthy day I smugly showcase this by closing off the diary

59 here and I am looking to be in peak condition at 60!
Doing some retirement planning for my health. My biggest struggle is the diet. I’ve lost 50 pounds. Then just before Thanksgiving I slacked off a little and gained 10 back so here I am looking to drop about 15 more pounds and then maintain. As far as exercise goes; I love to lift weights. I kind of become an addiction at this point. I am fortunate to have a small gym space in my home to do my 4:30am workouts.
Feel free to add me as a friend if you would like to!2 -
Hey everyone, It seem like the older we get the harder it is to have that energy to push ourselves...I'm only 31 , 2017-2018 I was working out but due to work I started to fade away from the gym and now I'm here ready to get back 💪2

Hello! I am not new to MFP, but I have not been as active on MFP as I was in the past. I just turned 45. I finally got back into the habit of exercise consistently. I would love the support of more MFP friends!2

It's slow going, lose, gain, lose, gain but I am determined I will get there in the end do I will enjoy the rollercoaster ride.4 -

Sounds like you need to adjust your saddle or get one that fits better. Sometimes if I've been away from the bike for an extended time, it does take a week or so of riding to get back used to it, but it really does help to make sure the saddle is adjusted for your body. Oddly, softer saddles can sometimes hurt more than firm ones.

Hi Guys. First week done , really had to think about what I was eating and tried to move more and it paid off, 2lbs down . So this has made me 🤔 what have I been putting into my body , really enjoying MFP , really starting to sink in that I need to fuel my body with sensible choices. Looking ahead this week with a positive outlook . Planning my week for meals and alternate workouts. Hope your all feeling good on this frosty Monday morning , if anyone out there would like to friend up that would be great 👍😁5
