Just saying hi myself. Just joined. Hopefully between the app and community I can make a real goal at losing weight this time.
I am 54, from Michigan... And along with wishing myself luck, I wish everyone else luck as well.

I invested a lot of money in expensive meals over the years so it's hard to part with that investment. But the dividends are not good so something needs to change! I started MFP the beginning of January and have been consistent with it. I've calculated what I want to weigh. I drink water daily, do my walks and workout 2/3 times per week. I started at 250lbs... now I'm down to 233lbs. I'm seeing the changes and would love to get down to 210/215lbs. Sometimes I wish I could lose the weight faster, but I understand it's all about being consistent. At least I'm moving in the right direction. Good luck everyone!2

Hi, I'm starting to seriously track food again in order to see results, so I signed up here. I was on SparkPeople back in the day and it really helped me understand more about my eating habits and the protein/carbohydrates/fats in my usual diet. Seeing what I consume written down also helps me make better choices. I'm not really sure about the social aspects of MFP, but I really enjoyed reading people's stories in SparkPeople, so I'll probably look around here some more for inspiration as well.
I definitely use food and alcohol for emotional reasons. I'm trying to be kinder to myself and that means more thoughtful consumption and less emotional overconsumption. Wine really has become my friend since the pandemic, though, but I want to be more moderate and drink it by the glass, not the bottle.
I'm a pescatarian who is moving away from seafood toward a mostly lacto-ovo vegetarian diet. I love vegetables. I had lost 25 pounds in 2021, but gained back 20 pounds during the stressful winter holidays. I'm looking to lose 50 pounds total, so it's rather discouraging to have to start almost all over again. I'm hoping to be able to maintain a steady 2 lb/wk weight loss with a 1200 cal/day diet and lots of movement. My goal weight is 170 lbs, and I'm visualizing myself at that weight and it feels good. My knees and other arthritic joints will be much happier.
I can be moderately active when I put my mind to it - I walk my dog daily, love to ride my bike and swim laps, and I try to do yoga and stretching at home. I garden and take on household renovation projects. Heck, even hauling laundry up and down the stairs counts as exercise!
I'm glad to be back in a community of fellow strivers and wish all of you who've read this far the best of luck in following your dreams.5 -
I'm not so new as I've used the app before but it's been a long time since I've logged on. Maybe 2 years. 🤔 Hoping to get myself back to full fitness and meet new people along the way. 😊0

Hello everyone. I’m here trying to get back in good health and shape. I’m turning the big 40 in June. I want to be healthier for myself and my family, especially my child. I have tried dieting in the past and stick to it for a month or two then quit and gain the weight back if not double. I really want to stick to it this time and not give up. Good luck to everyone else as well.1

Hi, Ya`ll. In my mid 40`s. Empty nester working on self-improvement now that I have time for myself. I want to be healthy for the first time in my adult life. (Skinny I have been but, Healthy I have not) I would like to lose 50 lbs. I quit smoking and drinking sodas 28 days ago. I started going to the gym daily about 18 days ago. I am not a vegetarian but I eat a mostly vegetarian diet and limit meat consumption. I have a problem with overeating because I feel the need to snack all day since quitting smoking. Yesterday I started counting calories, I hope this works and helps me to not overeat.0

Hi all! So excited to be here! I am 66 year old retired person. While healing from my first foot surgery one year ago, my weight skyrocketed from 197 to 132. I lost about 6 of those pounds after I was able to walk again, but after that weight wasn’t budging. I had a second surgery about 2.5 months ago and during a round of nausea due to antibiotics, could eat little and weight went down to 189, went form a size 20 to a comfortable size 16. After that it wouldn’t budge. I want to maintain that loss and lose more.
According to actuarial tables, older women with a BMI in the overweight category live
longer so my goal is to get down to 163. I am still not walking well, but did find a fitness app that allows me to do strength training in bed and have started physical therapy to increase flexibility. I am walking in the house now every other day but it hurts and I have a bit of a limp. (I have a lot of hardware in my right ankle, lol).
I am excited to meet everyone!1 -
