My countdown to healthier
So I started Nov 1 with the goal of making better health choices in order to be healthier and comfortable in my body. This is actually my second time with MFP. I lost 80 lbs the first time several years ago but since then I've had 4 kids and put back on most of that. I'd love to connect with others to keep each other…
Reigniting the passion
I've had a personal trainer since October and strength/endurance wise I'm the strongest I've ever been. I want to lose about 30 lbs. I lost 80 before. I'm 40 lbs up from that but my composition is a *lot* more muscle than I had when I lost the weight. I'm starting to really hunker down on my diet and mental clarity again…
Weight Loss
My weight loss journey began when I weighed 221 pounds. I’m a 5’11 man and I was eating Fast food and take out daily. Not only was this making a dent in my bank account but my personal health deteriorated as well. I wanted to make a change in my lifestyle and wanted to go slow. I did not increase my workout intensity but I…
Looking for success stories
Who does not use a fitness tracker but has still lost weight? How did you do it? My Fitbit broke and I am debating getting a new one. I’d like to hear success stories from people who’ve not had one. Are the exercise calories burned when you log an exercise accurate? I realize Fitbit calories burned are just an estimate as…
Hi Everyone
New year…New goals to crush! I wish everyone success on their journey!
I need a support group, or something
I want to workout consistently and for a while I was. I would do some form of workout for at least 10 minutes each day, whether it’s a full workout or active recovery. But recently, I’ll make it two days of the bare minimum and then be really inactive on the third (and sometimes fourth) day. And then the cycle repeats. I…

32f waiting on a hip replacement and MFP is a lifesaver
I was in an accident 6 months ago that destroyed my hip. It was devastating to go from being able to run for hours on end to not being able to walk more than a few steps unassisted. I'm still waiting on a hip replacement. I ran a 10 mile road race exactly a week before the accident and 5 miles the day before and had been…
I've come so far! It is possible!

How many times have I restarted now?!
Oh my gosh! My eating has gotten out of control! And, I don't know how to stop overeating. My realization of this was last night - no judgement please - when I had healthy filling for tacos and then I had not one portion of potato salad (I'm trying to clean out the fridge, which makes for odd meals) but ended up eating…
Cheaper alternatives to Nutrisystem?
Hello! I am looking into meal kits that can provide decent easy-to-make (read: microwaveable) meals that I can take to and from work and have a good amount of nutrition in them. One of my family members is a member of Jenny Craig, but they got in when they had a one time-payment for a lifetime membership, so he lucks out…

When I weighed 288 lbs and TRIED to lose on my own, I got to 256 and it STALLED HORRIBLY at that point. Sigh. I knew needed help.
