Polyam, pansexual, ER nurse losing weight slowly!
I’ve lived my entire adult life in a fat body. I have been 374lbs for the last year. I’m ready to change. I decided mid-January that I’m going to try to start losing weight again. This has been a slippery slope in the past. Whenever I would try to lose weight, I would become obsessive about it. I would have to weigh and…

i am back
I am using the website version of myfitnesspal this morning and I find it to be more focused for the community section. Been a member since 2013 and occasional user I guess. I am pretty self aware of my diet, and used to track my meals, but it is quite cumbersome to track every single diet. #Iamback

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…

Here to lose 150 lbs, Wanna be friends?
Hey guys, Happy 2025!

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…
