Starting again

Options
I’m currently hoping to lose 30 lbs by building new lifestyle habits instead of jumping from fad diet to fad diet like I’ve done in the past. I’m a 40 y/o mom, teacher and runner. I’ve stopped and started on MFP a number of times - but I’m feeling like it’s now or never. I can’t have another year go by with no progress. It’s always “I’ll start tomorrow” but there are only so many tomorrows. I’d love some friends to help with accountability and inspiration. My family members are all naturally thin - so I’m all alone in my battle with food.

    Hi..! I am in a similar situation. Put on 35+ pounds and just downloaded MFP today so that I can track and figure out what is going on. I’ve been on MFP before and it worked well.

    Let’s help each other when it gets hard. I have a lot of weight to lose, one day at a time.

    I have more than 40 to go, but this teacher is ready! Been a pretty successful few weeks. I need some accountability when school starts back!

    I gained 70 pounds since covid. And well that is unacceptable. So I’ve been cooking better. Staying away from sugar, using my macros correctly and trying to up my protein. You got this!! Small changes will add up (I’m hoping as well).
