Motivation

Pandemic Pudge
Hi, I’m Kat. I’ve been on MFP for a while now, but only used it occasionally. I’m getting tired of making excuses and want to lose weight and maintain it so I’m more comfortable with myself. Looking for anyone to add me just so we can reciprocate motivation. ✌🏻
Keeping myself accountable
I've used MFP on and off for years to track. I'm 12stone4 atm, 5'10" female. I'm just at the top end of healthy BMI. I have facet joint and sacroiliac joint issues so want to lose a little weight (no more than 1 stone) to help manage my back condition, get stronger/fitter, and to generally feel better about myself! I've…
It's a new journey every day
Three whole years ago I started this health and wellness journey. When the world was shutting down for COVID, I was hitting my treadmill or the pavement and choosing to fuel my body instead of comfort my body with instant gratification that I would very soon regret. I lost almost 50 lbs and have managed to keep it off all…
Hi 👋
Hi I’m Helen, I’m hoping to lose 140 lbs, but I have MS and my ability to exercise is limited, so I guess my calorie deficit will be 1,200 per day. I have recently taken up Qi Gong and do a little yoga. I put on weight over the past year or two and can feel it becoming a problem if I don’t keep it in check now. Cravings…
What 40lbs looks like...
I'm only mid-journey right now. I started December 27th last year with a goal to lose 100lbs. I'm 6'1" and started at 280lbs. I decided to take a starting picture on January 4th because I hadn't yet and did it for the heck of it. I'm glad I did. I've lost nearly 40lbs now and decided since I was all dressed up for Easter…
Why am I not losing any weight?
I have been counting calories and exercising regularly for over a month and I haven’t lost any weight. I eat healthily—mostly vegetarian, local fruits and veggies and fish. I have cut my sugar intake and stopped drinking. I do 40 minutes of kickboxing 5 times a week and on on the other 2 days I walk at least an hour. I…

What do you think?
Hi!

We are all psychically capable! Experiences to share?
I know this is very off topic, but this is a thread for different off topics & I had a feeling/urge to post this so I thought why not!

Winter slump
Who else is getting antsy to be out in the nice Spring weather? I get way to lazy and make up way to many excuses in the winter to not exercise or eat right. Trying to get my mind in a good head space again.
Lifting weights 4 times a week and playing Tennis 1-2 times a week. 50 lbs goal.
First time using the community side of this app. The goal last year was to lose 80 lbs. I lost 35 lbs. This year the goal is to lose 50 lbs. I have tried so many diets in the past and what I've found to really work for me is OMAD or 2MAD. I lost that 35 lbs in 3 months, from January to March 2022 and I just maintained the…
Being accountable to myself
March 14 - 11.12.6 So, new to this ap, not understanding how to find people to add as friends, so going to start my own journal posting. I have been tracking food against feelings/ situations the last month or so. Have always been a comfort eater but have identified I cope ok with most stresses unless I’m also tired, then…
Binge eating
Any tips or advice to avoid binge eating ? I do indulge in small treats that fit my calories most days, but there’s always that one day where I go nuts, realize what I did, and get upset with myself . It’s slowing my progress from losing 1lb a week to half a pound or to even no weight loss. It’s been a month of this…
Hello... I am ready
Sometimes it would be nice to be able to go back, talk to our younger selves, and explain how our eating habits will catch up with us. I know full well that I wouldn't listen, so here I am today. I'm 56 years old and the habits from my past have caught up with me. I am over weight, have high blood pressure with a high…
New to this APP
Hi - I have recently ended with physical therapy due to a freak fall and walk with a cane outside of my home. Nighttime is the worst for me looking for my next snack. Looking for inspiration from friendly people.
Bumpy ride
Life over the past 2-3 years has been tough for most people, increased work load, hours and pressures, the gyms closed due to lock down. It real hard to bounce back especially now I'm 50. The 10kg gained is proving real hard to move. So, I'm looking to the community for motivation (both ways) to help each other get back on…

Foundation, foundation, foundation (Alternative title: In weight loss, I am the dog.)
I'm a professional dog trainer and a dog sports competitor -- stick with me, I have a point. One of the big principals in dog training is basically about laying a strong foundation, and only increasing the difficulty when you have success 80+ percent of the time. Another one is that you make getting it right as obvious and…

Do you enjoy certain excercises more than others?
For example, I love OVH press and curls but dread bench press lol. Or deadlifts over sqauts! I also look forward to specific days. I can't tell if it's motivation or the exercise itself.🤣
