in Introduce Yourself
Hi all.
I've been on MFP a while. Lost weight then gained it back plus a load more on top.
So here I am with 107.2lbs to drop. I'm already 4lbs down which is water weight in the last few days but it's a start. I'm going to start with logging everything again, using my fitbit and drinking lots of water!

Feel free to add me and tag along on this long journey!

    I am tracking for the past two weeks, trying for low carb. Lost 7 lbs of water weight in a couple days now playing with up and down 2 lbs. Can't seem to kick it into gear. Don't really want to eat keto only but that seems to be the only thing that works for me. Want to do macro, but not sure of the right combination for me.

    I've just restarted in Nov. with a new profile on mfp cuz IT issues. Priorities in order: TRACKING, water, exercise. Yesterday was a good day...down 5 lbs for the month, & shoveled snow (1000 cals) for an hour. Doesn't look like I'll have as much today, though we may be getting more tonight.

    Hey. I just eat within my calories and I'm losing weight. I lost 50lbs before without any diet. Only eating within my calories. Previously I had tried keto and other diets but for me it wasn't sustainable long term and once I lost the weight I just gained it back again when eating non keto. Good luck!

    Hello! 100 to lose here! Day 11 & about 1.5 lbs off so far! Aiming for slow & steady, with small changes over time & build healthy nutrition and develop good habits!
    Been here several times before …..Managed 20 lbs with CICO last time, but have put it all back on again …with a bit more!
    Would be great to lose it with the support & help of others & make some friendships along my (loooooong) journey.

    Hi everyone!

    Pretty new to MFP, and like most have a lot of weight to lose. Due to a bad auto accident a decade ago I put on a ton of weight as my ability to move around was greatly limited. Unfortunately, it still is limited mostly due to that accident and the excess weight I gained. I have around 150 pounds I'd like to lose.

    The lack of mobility means for me I need to focus heavily on the food and tracking side of things. I must be very careful on what I eat. Quite a challenge for me as it seems like a lot of my favorite things are super loaded with calories.

    I welcome new friends. Let's help motivate each other.

    I’m not new to MFP. Used it about 6 years ago to lose 70lbs. Over time I slacked on calories and gained a lot of that back. Then in late 2019 I got diagnosed with cancer. After a bone marrow transplant and a lot of time in the hospital, I gained even more weight. Due to chemo & radiation I have gone through menopause. It has been MUCH harder to lose weight now. However, I am willing to start again. This time with a goal of losing at least 90lbs. Also, I’m hoping to make some new friends along the way!

    Hi everyone! According to doctors I should lose 100#'s but I think 50 right now would make me feel a whole lot better. I want to take it off in small increments so that # isn't so daunting. I have taken 10 off already (it took me a few months) but wanting to take the next 10 off and so on from there. I could really use support, ideas, etc. Taking weight off being older (51) and not as active in the gym as I once was, makes this time around a lot harder. Please feel free to add me.
