Intro-ducky
Hey everyone! I'm Britanny, your friendly neighborhood wallflower. I'm a shy, insecure woman who's sick of living the same boring routine—like a hamster on a wheel, except my wheel is made of pizza and Netflix. 🍕🎬 I’ve decided it’s time for a change! I’m starting my weight loss journey because, let’s be real, I’m tired of…
2024 Cycling Challenge
Here we are, our third year running! Or, more appropriately, pedaling! Like cycling? So do I! This challenge is a simple one - ride 2024 miles in 2024! Type of cycle? Doesn't matter.

Where Has the Notes Tab Gone?
Hi There! Does anyone know if MFP got rid of the Notes feature? There used to be a Notes tab at the bottom of the daily diary that allowed you to create “Exercise” or “Nutrition” specific notes. I found this feature incredibly useful and used it regularly. It helped me stay accountable to myself and write out certain goals…

❄️❄️❄️JOIN us! Lose up to 5% of your weight in 8 weeks through healthy habits ❄️❄️❄️
Does it seem most/some New Years start out with hope or dreams you want, but over time as they don't happen it becomes another "Next year!" thought? One reason is losing focus, discouragement or perhaps not having the support you desire. Here's the answer to focus not just on weight loss, but on YOU! A bright, shiny, New…
Self-care and Depression
Hey guys. When I feel blue (extra depressed/sad) I lose my ability to care about myself - ie, not logging food, not eating as well, not going for a walk or doing my PT exercises. My usual Christian practices lapse too & when I do pray it doesn’t help. Any thoughts on how to overcome this cr*p??

Will it be still a good Christmas if I don’t fall off the wagon?
Over the last six or seven years I made numerous attempts to lose weight. I followed trend diets and tried to copy what everybody else was doing. High Protein, low carb! Smoothies and juicing! You name it, I have done it. I am obese, morbidly obese. The highest weight and my start weight in September was 348 lbs. It always…

Its that time of the year some will stay by their newer eating plan, others will decide "I'll eat moderately and enjoy it." it's a choice everyone makes that satisfies them. However, most of us, and new members to MFP come Jan will be wanting support. Are you hoping come January you'll be able to eat better? Perhaps…
