    I think I’m only going to post here in our group . To many dude messages & friend requests . I wonder if people find relationships here . I’m not looking so ladies in my group I’ll be over here & not in the general que . Hope you find me

    I pretty much only post here as well, I noticed not only here but also on Facebook I get quite a few friend request from men. I found this group my first day on the site and it's very comfortable here.

    I'm cheering you on for your Step challenge, have fun with it. I try to find ways to get in more steps during my time at home, like making 2 to 3 trips down the hall from bedroom to livingroom when I could have made 1 trip. And every morning I walk around the entire house outside, it may not sound like much but after 18 months most of it in bed every step matter to me.

    Hi everyone, I have been on MFP for several years on and off and it is a very useful too. I have been trying to lose weight for years but I only found out a couple of years ago I was fighting a losing battle because it was the medication I was on that was causing the problem in the first place and now even though I am no longer on it the damage is done ! I did succeed in losing 12 kilos early last year by doing the Fast 800 and it is an amazing diet but I like everyone I have had a bad year but with some extra problems to boot so I fell into bad habits. Today being the first day of Spring I am starting again back on the Fast 800 so please wish me luck as I wish all of your all the best with your weight loss journeys too.

    Hi, I'm Peta.
    I started tracking again a fortnight ago after massive weight gain.
    I reached 88kg (170cm), which is more than what I got to 11 years ago when full term pregnant.
    5 years ago I was 62kg, all but 10kg of my weight gain has been in the last 18 months.
    Working from home too close to the fridge and lots of wine during lockdown resulted in a BMI of 30 for the first time ever.
    First 2 weeks have been great, 3.5kg down. I still have a long way to go so I am putting this message here as I want to remain accountable.
    Some of the "rules" I have made for myself: 1200 cal per day (which I have to track), min 10.000 steps per day. Not even a sip of wine until I have a 7 in front of my weight again (wine is my undoing).
    Best wishes to all.
    Peta

    @ThisTimeNoWine i feel like wine is my undoing too . It sure was Friday night which led me to be a wee hungover Saturday which led to poor food choices . Up 4 pounds from my beautiful low of last week . I’m sick of my weekend behavior but having a problem breaking the pattern . I think I’m bored . I’m going to try and figure out a new plan this week ! I’m glad your here to try and share the journey with

    🤣🤣🤣 I would hardly consider myself wise enough to be anyone's sage but I do my best! The MFP community has been so inspirational and helpful to me I'm happy if I can be that for others on even a tiny scale

    Hi. I am a returning MFP member, never used the community group before, but just started weight loss journey and need plenty of motivation. I am 55 years old and need to lose about 20kg. Not sure what that is in pounds as I live in South Africa.

    ]i just read the most wonderful book that has South Africa as its setting . It was called Love & Murder ( it was adorable ) like a # 1 ladies detective agency but as an advice writer for a newspaper with recipes ! That name sounds wrong I’ll have to look it up . I know the follow up was called the Satanic Mechanic & there is even a third ! I had to look in the glossary for all the special words ! Have you heard of it ? It was the best book I’ve read all year !

    Doesn’t this door make me look thin ! Or maybe it’s walking the plank to still get in the house !

    Hello! I'm in a similar boat - up over 10kgs from my last blast at MFP. That was around 7yrs and a child ago. My profile pic is false advertising from back then! I'm looking forward to adding friends. I find it super motivating to look at other people's diaries and seeing how they make it work! So please feel free to add me. I have also sent a few people some awkward as friend requests, I apologise for my awkwardness :D

    So yesterday was a big day with multiple family visits as we just got out of Lockdown (I'm in New Zealand). And while I went over my calorie budget, there were some wins that I'm proud of! Went to McDs and took it easy. Drank all my water goals. Then we had a big family dinner with lots of dessert and wine. But ya know what? I made sure I logged it all. I feel like in the past I might have tried to hide it or not log the whole day or something. But not this time baby!! B)
