MY 100 POUND JOURNEY
JOIN ME TO LOSE 100 OR MORE IN 2024. This challenge is for those who need to lose 100+ My name is Lisa. I weigh more than 300 LBS. My goal weight is 200 LBS. At 5' 5" tall, I'll still be heavy, but I'm fine with that. I have no desire to be thin. I'm healthier with some meat on my bones (and fat smoothes out the wrinkles).…

Trying to step back into the community
Hi everyone! I'm Andrew, and I've been on MFP since 2013ish. In 2016, I had a mild health scare at 306 lbs and, through walking, going to the gym, healthier food decisions, and with the help of MFP, I dropped to 186 and virtually fixed my health problem (which was an irregular heart beat and PACs). I was literally in the…

I’m back!
Many years ago, this app really helped me find a sense of community that helped me reach a lot of goals. A lot has happened since then… escaped an abusive relationship, experienced many personal and family tragedies, and found myself turning to sugar and junk food for comfort. I gained over 100 lbs and ended up with…

Calculating Macros
In the past I have liked high protein macros. A few years back I went to a bariatric doctor, where I also spoke to a dietitian. The plan they put me on according to a friend who does body building was equivalent to around 1200 calories a day. I did a plan like this years ago and fell of fast and gained even more. In…

"Anything is better than being obese"?
I've seen this idea kind of floating out there. Sometime it is said outright, some times you see it in peoples choices to cut really deep in deficits....A discussion about weight lose meds made me ponder this one. I think mostly it is true. Getting thinner makes you healthier across the board and increases lifespan. Where…

Zumba calorie burn
I find this hard to believe. I'm 331 lbs today. Zumba says about 400 calories. I'm guessing there are many factors involved like, do you actually do all the hopping up and down or do you just 2 step and wave your arms about like a beached sea animal <. LOL.
