Back with a vengeance!
Hello friends! I've been here once, got out of routine and am back with a vengeance! Let's motivate each other to stay healthy :)
Prescribed Steroids
I can not wait until my medical team gives me the okay to start tapering these damn steroids. My PCP tells me that my managed pre-diabetes has turned into Type 2 Diabetes because of the steroids my Neurologist prescribed me. I have ballooned from a heavy 220 to a more serious 250. It is time to take control of my diet and…

Ways To Get Moving When Stuck At A Desk?
Hello MFP community, I'd love to get some suggestions on how I can get moving more at my job! I work as a receptionist at a nursing facility. I'm stuck at the desk answering calls, unlocking the door for visitors, etc., sometimes for 12 hour shifts. It's a real killer for my fitness goals. Should I just get up and do…
Trigeminal Neuralgia
I have Trigeminal Neuralgia. It makes dieting and exercise hard at times. Since June 1 2020, I have lost 60 pounds which is great, but it isn't steady loss. Recently I lost 14 pounds due to TN. I am looking to see if anyone else has TN as well. Or any disease that interferes with diet and exercise.
Looking for balance
Hi everyone. I turned 50 this year and I’m tired. I’m tired of being so overweight that I can’t enjoy life the way I used to. I’m tired of not being able to do activities that I used to enjoy so much because I am morbidly obese but, I’m also tired of yo-yo and fad diets or diets that say, “eat a lot of this and none of…

MFP Returnee 3rd Times a Charm

Hello from a new/old member!
Hi there! My name is Beth and I recently and very suddenly lost my job. A job I thought I would have for a very long time. A job I loved. This sudden change has caused me to reevaluate my life. I’m almost 50 years old, and it’s time to take control and take care of me. My entire life (until I had kids) I was very thin. I…
Display weight loss from a specific date
Instead of limiting the weight loss graph to display weights over a given time span (one month, three months, starting weight, etc.), it would be great if the user could select a specific start date. This way, the user could track how much weight was lost since enacting a specific lifestyle plan.
Go to Meals?

Photography Fountain with Metal Posters

Hi everyone! I’ve been tracking my nutrition with MFP for 3 weeks now … and have gained weight. Sigh.
