Let's lose 20-30 lbs. by New Year's Eve, 2025!
Hi, and Welcome! I'm in a few other challenges, but I'd like to start a new one, beginning Wednesday, May 28th, 31 weeks until New Year's Eve.

Bariatric patient and recovering alcoholic looking for support
Hello there my name is Megan, I am a 30 yr old recovering alcoholic who began my weight loss journey back in 2017.

I have end stage liver…

Hi all! My first post here since "coming back." An accident in 2022 laid me up for over a year. I have done all the protocol with PT etc, and am FINALLY "on the other side."

Gym beginner overwhelmed with rules and macros and protein and calorie intake, calorie deficit:(
I’ve been at it for more than 2 months now and it still feels like a diet instead of a lifestyle, and I’m used to eating whole food with lots of fresh veggies and fruits but, I guess I lack organisation and consistency, adding to all that the disappointment when stepping on the scale, it’s not going back up, but not going…

New and Nervous
Hello. I joined this app mostly to track my eating habits and to try to increase my fiber intake. I’m 34 and found out I have benign (but precancerous) colon polyps.
