I’m so glad I saw this group!

@makattack220 I appreciate your reflection about learning "a lot about what does and doesn't work for me now (vs my 20s)." I am in my 40s and I find that I just keep building upon my self knowledge here. I've done so much trial and error that I have narrowed things down a bit! It's been helpful.

Hi everyone!



Doing okay despite long list of to-dos (moving in awhile).
Goals for next year are to continue getting more healthy (2 lbs per week loss would be great) and just to make it where we're moving to. prayers appreciated

welcome all and happy new year!

Hi guys always want new friends for motivation, feel free to add me

Hey ladies! I am 32, momma to 8 and just starting this journey to lose my baby weight from my last little that was born six months ago. Looking forward to getting to know everyone and support each other!

Glad to be here!!!

Hey 👋 looking to get back into the swing of things and lose a few pounds a month. My boyfriend was good and started right after Christmas. 33 without kids. Will weigh in on Wednesday mornings. My scale currently needs more batteries I don't have.

Happy New Year ladies! What a crazy last couple of years huh? I'm 45 and have been on MFP for a long time, always seem to come back to it. I feel best when I log, drink lots of water, get enough sleep, and move my body. I'd like to lose about 35 lbs. Thinking of re-joining a gym to try the rowing machine. This year one of my goals is to make more connections so feel free to add me!

@bosskitty Also doing dry January here! A good start to the year so far and noticing lots more available calories when logging and not adding in alcohol!!

Exactly @metaphysicalstudio - I'm keeping it simple, focusing on the basics. I don't need to constantly try to wonder if I'm eating the right foods at the right times, etc etc (trial and error, doubting myself, deep diving re: nutrition at the library have just led to yo-yos for me!). I want to just be consistent with the basics and go from there.

Happy New Year everyone!

Hey everyone, I'm up 10lb so back on track to lose it. Feel free to add me!

Morning all. Turning 45 this year in august and my goal is to hit 140. Currently 163. Have a few extra Xmas lbs there. Lowest weight last year was 156. Have 2 kids boy 16 (just got his liscense) and girl 13 (14 in March)

Back at it today. New year reset. Going to be slow at it. Did this last week. Was stepping backwards off of our back step clearing snow in the -35C coming from a warm vehicle and I seriously pulled my calf. So I couldnt walk for a few days. Then Started limping around. Went shopping yesterday and obviously over did it cause my leg is aching today. So will do some stuff. But don’t think I will be able to hit the treadmill. Was hoping to do a slow walk on it.

Take it slow girl. That looks bad for just pulling a muscle last week.

Hi all,
I'm working on my small habits, longer extended fast each day, and water. But I don't have room to exercise at all now that we're packing. I've been working on playing music to keep focused and get stuff done, so that's good!

@20KimmieKim16 ouch! Take care of yourself!

Day 5 of January! I’m petite and small boned at 5ft 2.
MFP has recommended 1260 calories per day. I’m sticking to it and my diary is ram packed with healthy, enjoyable foods with good range of fiber, protein and healthy snacks … but I’m HUNGRY!!
I haven’t been eating back my exercise calories and have lost 5.8lbs in 5 days (lots of water weight)
I’m going to give it a few more days then I might start eating back some exercise calories and see how that goes.
What is everyone else’s plan? How are you all getting along?

Hi, ladies! 36 y/o here who also gained during lockdowns. I’ve been a MFP user for years, of course on and off, and I’m a yo-yo-er as well. I don’t do fad diets on and off, just calorie counting on and off.
I’m an experimenter with my body and have watched a lot of docus about weight loss and myths, so I know what I need to do, and yet…
My constant struggle is with my addictive voice telling me to eat junk. And I have no idea why! It’s this lizard brain that moves my feet to the fridge before my human brain realizes what is happening! Quite wild. I’ve taken to yelling at myself out loud when these thoughts creep.
In my self-experimentations and self-learning, I’ve discovered that I’m a feaster, so the best option for me is one meal a day.
I’ve discovered that my body LOVES fasting and responds quite well to it (no, duh, you’re not eating!). The way I make it sustainable now is one meal a day.
Previously, I’d go more than 24 hours without eating (don’t freak out, I put my caloric goals into a weekly form instead if daily, so I was always at my correct daily average calories), and this was wildly successful for me - losing > 20 lbs in ~2 months. That was when I was employed, however.
Then I moved to Germany and changed my career to be freelance. I cannot do more than 24 hours fasting (OMAD), so I just eat dinner every day and try to keep busy or distracted during the day.
Anywhoo, sorry for the rambling, but I’ve been looking for a support group (maybe especially for anyone who may have food addiction tendencies), and you ladies all seem very nice.
Thanks for the community!
