First time using online community & tools
Hello to everyone. My name is Evelyn. It may be my first time using online tools for losing weight but it's not my first rodeo. I've actually lost over 100 lbs. twice before but never succeeded in maintaining. Gained it again and plus some. The losing part is not the issue. Neither is exercising once I start. I realize…

Yo! From a yo-yo-er
Hello everyone, I’m new (kinda!). I’m a long time lurker on these forums but summoning my 20 seconds of courage to make my first post here! I want to be more involved in this community as I have noticed that people who are tend to stick it out! Hence the post. I didn’t know what to say or where and figured here was the…

Daughter of the King
Hi. I'm Jodi. 54 yo. I'm in Wisconsin. Need to lose weight, a lot of weight. Lost 25lbs on Weight Watchers, since March 9. But I'm allergic to protein so it's been difficult. I can only have 5g of protein a day. I'm using this app to count my calories. And maybe to track exercise. Nice to meet y'all. 😊 💝

Stubborn weight

I’ve lost noticeable weight on my stomach, face and chest however even with keeping weekly measurements I’m just not losing weight on my upper arms or calves no matter what I do. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything I…

High protein / lower carb snacks on a super strict budget??
I'm struggling with getting enough protein. I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but pretty close. I don't eat much meat and prefer not to eat more processed foods than necessary (both a personal preference and a budget thing). We eat a lot of meals with eggs and beans, but I'm more of a grazer than a meal eater - always have…

200lbs to lose and looking for support/friends
A little about my current journey. Forgive the ADHD storytelling! I have been on and off MFP for a while, and I've battled with my weight for over 20 years, but 2020 was a turning point. All the stress and weight gain during the pandemic caused me to start blood pressure medication. Then we lost my grandmother quickly and…

High protein / lower carb snacks on a super strict budget??
Edit: I think I put this in the wrong place. Copying it over to the recipe board. I'm struggling with getting enough protein. I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but pretty close. I don't eat much meat and prefer not to eat more processed foods than necessary (both a personal preference and a budget thing). We eat a lot of meals…

Looking for other dedicated MFP friends
Hey! I've been using the app quite a while but I've been doing it kind of solo for a while and I just got off a big break. I figured I'd ask if there was anyone who was into this journey as much as I am who would like to be friends on here to help support each other.

Quick lunch ideas?
I am struggling to meet my calorie goal. I have morning and snack down pat as well as dinners. I end up skipping lunch and always in a hurry to find something to grab.

Old & New
I have a 15 year old granddaughter that I used to camp, hike and walk with when she was younger. I now have a one-year-old grandson who I want to do the same with. Except I have gained 100 pounds because of being inactive for so long. If this sounds similar to your journey I would love to have your support and friendship.
