    Hello All,
    I’m a new “Premium” member who is trying to turn my 59-year-old dad bod into what it was pre pandemic when I played racquetball almost daily and did HIIT 5 times/week. I don’t notice any visible changes in the three weeks since I refound the inside of a gym and started eating healthily again, but I already feel much better. I’ve only got 10 to lose. Motivation to exercise will not be my downfall. My challenge will be sticking to a healthy “diet” regiment, so I’m counting on your success stories to keep me out of the chip bad.

    Hi! My name is Tiffany and I just started. I am 5'6 around 190. My goal weight is 160. When I was in college I was working at a gym and was at 160 and that's my happiest weight. When I got my office job and got into a serious relationship the weight started to pile on. I lack motivation and consistency. Any tips and tricks would be much appreciated!

    Hi I joined the beginning of October 2021. I'm happy to be here. I love the diary where I log my daily foods; however, whenever I can't find exactly what I'm needing to log, I just put in a higher amount of calories. So it's probably way over sometimes. I have lost a few pounds but put it back on during the Canadian Thanksgiving. I"m not stressing about that. But I decided to do things like not eating the crust of the pumpkin pie. The few pounds I put on will come back off. I will achieve my weight loss goals. Anyhow, it would be great to meet new "supportive" friends. Good luck on your weight loss journey.

    Hello once again! I am not new, but a returning member. I've gone off and on again from this site over the last 10 years. I was unable to access my old account, so I started this new one. I have tried so many diets, but find that low carb works for my body and curbs the cravings. I am just starting to get back into it again. I am 39, 5'4", and my highest ever weight was 370-380 lbs. I went low carb and I lost 92 lbs. I gained back some and I am now currently 285 from my 270 I got down to on my own. In 2018 I took an Applied Nutrition Science course and received my diploma. My dream was to be a Nutrition Coach and then my home life spiralled. I am starting over and trying to become the woman I want to be, but I know it is going to take some time to feel good about myself again, inside and out. <3

    Welcome to all the newcomers! Have been on MFP since 2013 and find this a great site for tracking food and fitness. Have lost 80+ lbs AND kept it off...tracking works. As for adding friends, that feature has been restored. Because of all the trolls I will only add friends who send me a note briefly letting me know how they "know" me; e.g., read my posts on message board. Not accepting male requests unless their page looks legit. Good idea to add a picture to your page and a little about yourself; that makes it more likely that folks will accept your friend request - or at least it does for me.
    good luck and stick with it. Remember this is for life!

    I am back. Again. I really need help this time. Car accidents sure do make you eat so much. I woke up this morning and today was the day I decided to get back on the horse and get the ball rolling again. I'm 45 and don't want to be fat. Any of you feel the same add me. I am desperate, lol!

    Hi All! I am just starting on MFP after being on and off WW for the last year or so. It's just not working for me so I decided to try something new. I am hoping to lose that pandemic pizza weight and develop healthy habits.

    This question may sound stupid but……
    What is WW?

    WW is Weight Watchers but they rebranded to WW last year.

    Hello! I’m new here to the forum. I’m starting my health journey once again. I believe I’m ready, really ready. I have a new grandbaby on the way, and I want to feel better where I can play with that baby for years to come. I need to lose a lot of weight and need lots of encouragement to stay on track. I love sweets and chips. My goal right now is to move my body more, drink lots more water and to cut out snacks and eat more veggies.

    semi new member, I have had an account since college but could never really stick to tracking everything. Basically I am just tired of my own excuses so back on the hamster wheel I go.
