Tortoise and the Hare
I've always been a little overweight all my life, borderline between obese and overweight at times, but never in the normal category. It's never bothered me too much because I was extremely active in dance, but such is the way of dance classes, I was pretty much always the biggest girl there. I had lots of attempts in my…

MFP nutrition plans
Hi! Have any of you tried the nutrition plans provided by MFP? If so what did you think? Which ones did you like and which ones were not for you? I’m trying to lose weight and am mostly sedentary.

🫣😌💪 Hey!
New to mfp. I was 82 kg in April. Now I am 68, aiming for 64 in the next 5-6 weeks. My goal is to have good enough body for having tattoos. Tattoos and ripped body are not the same, I get it.

Some thoughts on "Starting Over"
Starting Over Since starting to use MFP – I have noticed a steady stream of people writing “starting over” posts. They tell the age old story of “I tried and failed, now I'm trying again”. There is often an unhealthy dose of self-flagellation – as if beating up on yourself is actually going to help. There is often the plea…

I really need support/advice
Hi so I’m really struggling and frustrated and don’t want to get off track because I’m demoralized here. In 2018 I had a total hysterectomy with my ovaries out putting me into surgical menopause (very different from natural menopause- like hormones completely gone instead of low and it’s an abrupt change versus gradual). I…

I've lost my first 20lbs! 21.6 to be exact. I even broke out some of my "what if pants" and was able to wear them.

I'm going need all the motivation I can get because I love carbs 😁…
