Restarting this journey... again
This isn't my first rodeo. I've been down this road a few times already. Losing weight. Something happens and I stopped doing the things. Then all the weight comes back and of course plus some.

Hi all, new member here, looking forward to achieving my weight loss goals.
Hello! Looking for friends and motivation.
Hey everyone! I'm Paige. I'm in my 20s and from the US, I'm a mom and psychology student.

Can’t sync iPhone Health app
I can’t sync the steps stored on my Health app (iPhone) to MyFitnessPal app. On the Health app I clicked privacy, apps, MyFitnessPal and then allowed all the selections. On MyFitnessPal the attached message came up. Very odd. I just want to sync the steps!

Calories

Fluid intake tips and information
Rule of thumb, we all go wrong when it comes to intake of water 8 cups a day, let's not lie here. At the end of the day not everyone in the world can understand what it is to keep on top of this, so here is a bit of a recap in a screenshot as to what I have found. Tea and coffee can count as daily intake, it is just all…

I have done nothing else to change my routine or eating habits, but getting up in the dark is killing me, and the extra hour of daylight at night goes to waste because I have no energy left. I am also hungry all of the sudden and for stuff I never want…

Well, 3 time in 6 years starting weight loss. I'm so, so daunted this time because I how hard it is! But my reasons for climbing this hill have changed too... still want to feel confortable in my own skin, but its just as much about health. So let's do this!
Varicose veins - help!
So far I (32f) have lost 15kg. What I thought might be varicose veins at my heaviest weight are more pronounced and making one of my inner thighs really bumpy. My skin is really pale/thin and you can always see my veins through it. These bumps aren't any darker than my regular veins and don't hurt, but I'm going into panic…

I've lost over 110 LBS!!
It was simply by hard work!! No fads, no gimmicks, (these things may LOOK GOOD on ads, but the reality of them never work out long term). I cut back my calories, I tracked all of my food, I started off so slowly with exercise because when you weigh 288 lbs it's NEVER EVER EASY!! Now I am at 175 (BYE BYE 113 lbs!) What did…
