Me too
Hello everyone, I'm in for the challenge, my name is Kelly and need to lose 100 lbs. That's probably too much but it's a long term goal that can be revised, right? I hope to weigh < by Jan 2024. Like many others, I've tried every diet, had bariatric surgery in 2011 and gained back about 50lbs. It feels good to put that in…

Reassurance and Motivation
I’m 5’7”, 272 pounds, and in my early 20s. I know I need to lose weight, and have spent this week coming to terms with my size and making diet and exercise plans.

Week one down and no lose 😭
Feeling frustrated already in getting back on this plan. I kept my calories close or under the suggested daily intake and I didn't lose a pound. I figured I'd at least lost a little, even a quarter pound would have made me feel a little better about. In the past I would have lost a little, the only thing that's changed is…

Not meeting minimum nutritionals
So I created a new WLS group but we only have three members so I'm going to ask here. I am 3 weeks post-op from having a gastric sleeve and I'm only able to 'eat' about 600-700 calories a day.

Down 10 pounds this month!
I had been doing WW on and off for the past year or so. Recently started tracking in MFP instead and have been amazed. I feel like I can eat so much more.
