in Introduce Yourself

I’ve been on and off MFP since 2013-ish. Back in the good ole days where majority of the things on this app were free 🤣

My name is Cally, I’m 35, happily married to my favorite person, and have two children. I’m a stay at home mom (for the moment).

The last time I tried this app, was back in 2022/2023. I ended up putting my health on the back burner because my mom was diagnosed with a terminal illness.

I’m not on day 4 of a streak, keeping under my calories, and doing some beginning (very beginner) workout/stretches. I have 70lbs I’d love to lose, though 100lbs would be ideal.

I’ve not told family or friends about this weight loss journey, as I tend to become complacent about where I am.

Looking for friends on a similar journey, preferably female, to help keep me accountable and to be motivating to.

SW: 265lbs

CW: 257lbs

GW: 195lbs

    Hi hi

    welcome back, glad to see you're able to tackle these things again.

    Check out the challenge category discussions - good place to find an active group of people working on similar things :)

    There is also a monthly challenge group that is not usually advertised, that started maybe 2012? Starts a new group every month that goes private on the 6th, but you can join any time. Focus is on food and movement, with a daily optional topic. Heres a link to the August group.
