Age 40+ accountability buddies needed!
Hello! I lost 100 pounds in 2023. I’m ready to build muscle and get more active! I started tracking again as of today and would like an accountability buddy to keep me on track. I’m at a comfortable weight (according to myself) but could stand to lose 30-50 more pounds to be considered not obese. I’m not looking to go…

New Year's Resolutions

Hello - 50 in August - my goal for weight loss
This isn't my first rodeo with MyFitnessPal but it's like my comfort blanket weight loss app. For 40 years I was thin and athletic but early perimenopause kicked me in the metabolism quite badly and for the last 9 years I have gone over my goal/standard/normal weight by 2 and a half stone, and up nearly 3 dress sizes. I…

Friends over 40
I turned 50 this year and have a history of night time binge eating. I have health/ medical issues. I've learned that I have control over what I eat, not my emotions. I'm on day 2 of getting back to healthy and cleaner living. I feel that it will also help alleviate some of my symptoms. If you are anything like me and my…

I blew it this past few weeks
I was tempted with everything! Bread, sweets, overeating. Everything! I kept checking myself in the mirror and still look fine but stayed feeling bloated, depressed and alone. I have avoided logging my food and getting in the scale. So today I step back into my program. I hate that I reverted back but I am ready to jump…
