Welcome New Members!

Hi I'm new to mfp!!! I'm excited to be on this journey with you all, I hope to be inspired and motivated by your stories...

Hi everyone! Trying this out. I have found through the years, my mind/emotions and thoughts are either my enemy or what helps me be successful.

I have been an emotional eater for most of my life. Getting a hold on that, by being forgiving to others and mostly myself is where I am the most successful with being healthy.

Choosing to love myself in how others are to me has been a breakthrough.

We can not change how people treat us BUT we can set boundaries for ourselves and be forgiving.

Move towards a support system of people who are caring and not hurtful to you. Replacing those, who sometimes might be family members.
IT IS NOT BEING LOVING TO OTHERS OR YOURSELF, TO ALLOW THEM TO HURT YOU PHYSICALLY OR EMOTIONALLY!

With setting BOUNDARIES, you decide what comes to your heart.

This has taken me years to learn. Still learning but have made huge success!

Blessing to all of us for making a choice to break the hurtful pattern of turning to food for comfort.

Over eating is not comfortable!

Recognize our emotions and feelings while we are turning to food.

Ask yourself...am I hurt? Am I angry? If this is true, and your not really hungry, walk away.

Pet a pet, step outside and breathe etc.

God Bless

Hi guys! I'm jayla and my goal is to lose 40lbs in total. I've always lost and gained the same 10 pounds so I'm hoping by trying something different I can have better results. After being diagnosed ith pcos I decided to be more hands-on with my health and wellness! I'm ready to work on a new me this new years!

Been back a week or so after being offline a couple years. Lost 24 pounds from July 3th until just before Christmas. Gained back 2 and started tracking food last week and now I'm at 25 pounds down for the first time. Back on track.

35 more to go. Happy New Year all!

Hi Everybody,
My name is Nancy. I am 70 years old, and have had a weight issue all my life. Literally. Lots of emotional eating, and simply bad choice eating. I have tried mfp before, and only did the free site. I started this past week, selected the Premium, I think I'll be more accountable if I pay. Have done really good this week, making good food choices, logging and exercising everyday for 60 minutes on my recumbent bike. Husband and I went to town today, had fried rice and sesame chicken, not too bad, but then oh we had a blueberry fritter. I did my logging, and exercised my hour, I am still within my numbers, but, I know I am not happy with my choice. Tomorrow is another day. We acknowledge and move on. Happy New Year to all of you, and this is our YEAR!

2024 is the year to focus on me and my health. I have a cruise in September, so my goal is to be comfortable with me by then. Have almost 100 lbs to lose to get to my goal weight.

Doing Weight Watchers and Joined a Gym.
Looking for friends - motivational and inspirational.

Hi everyone! My name is Vincent, and I'm trying to lose fat and gain muscle. My weight goal is 140, but I want to look, "big and intimidating," so I'm pretty sure I will gain weight again (only in muscle). I am currently 206 pounds and have lost one pound since the year started. My workout regimen is odd, to say the least.

I am on antipsychotics and psych meds that cause weight gain. I also have a chronic skin disorder that gets worse depending on how heavy you are. I am personally tired of being sick all the f-ing time, so this is another reason I'm trying to lose weight.

Good luck to everyone on your journey!! Happy (late) New Year as well!!!

Hello,

I'm Jeffrey. I've been on and off MFP for years but over the past two years I've lost weight, kept it off, and became someone who goes to the gym 4-5 days a week.

I started with MFP, went to weight watchers, then got a personal trainer. All of that got me to where I am now.

The problem I'm having is i have no community. No fitness friends. No health journey buddies. I miss the community WW provided me. The people I met there were very supportive and fun to talk to. I just don't need WW anymore and I don't want to pay for it to be a part of a community again.

I remembered that back in 2016 i had a number of supporters and friends on MFP app under a different profile. I thought maybe I could return here and try and find a community again. Lets see if this works.

A little about me. I'm in my thirties, i enjoy sober activities, I have a ton of pets, I'm a married gay man, and i live in the northeast. I would love a check in/accountability friend. how about you?

Add me :-D

Hi since last may I have lost 37 lbs gone from a uk size 22 to a uk size 14. I need to lose another 30lbs or so maybe a bit less but I’m aiming for 30lbs. MyFitnessPal has been the only way I have ever lost weight. I live in Scotland

Would love some friends on here for motivation and support. Have been on here a few times but am wanting to finally make the change in my life that I need to feel better about myself. Feel free to add me (no clue how to add others 🤦🏻‍♀️)
