Hi Friends! Help!!
Hello lovely people! I started Burn Boot Camp in Georgia and they suggested using MFP to help make changes. The only thing is…I’m absolutely horrible at tracking anything. I’m mindful of what I eat, but when I had a dietician (thank you BCBS for deciding not to cover it anymore) it was easiest to maintain my eating goals…
Hello!
Just wanted to introduce myself! Not sure if this is the place to do so. I joined MyFitnessPal because my weight is starting to creep back up again. I have gained back 20lbs of the 80lbs that I’ve lost. I started running again, and my knees started to hurt badly. Well, that added 20lbs does not help, so I decided to put my…
That scale. Blessing and Curse.
It can be very discouraging when you suddenly jump up 3 Lbs and then .5 the next day. It doesn't really mater to my lizard brain that I dropped 21 LBS in 17 days. A lot of that was water weight due to a medication change. I'm sure the upswing was just my body adding some water weight/waste weight back and it will start to…
Halfway Progress Photo - 62 pounds down
Halfway through my goal. 62 pounds down. I cut out alcohol, changed jobs, and left an unhappy relationship. I have been walking with the aid of Pokémon Go! Only eating out 2 nights a week and high fiber, high protein, meals. Replaced candy with fruit. Please add me if you want to join me on the remainder of my journey!
How do you get your head (self image, self-talk, confidence) to catch up with your weight loss?
I am 4 pounds from my goal weight and find myself second guessing my success. Lately my habits have helped weight loss seem “too easy” and I expect to wake up any day and find that I’ve regained the 35 pounds I’ve lost, or that once I hit my goal that I won’t be able to maintain it (like the yo-yo weight I’ve done my…
What is your favorite feel good movie?
Title says it all! For me, I love Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar bc I love Kristen Wiig and she is hilarious as a midwestern matron who finally gets some action on vacation with her best gal pal (who is one of the writers/cast members of Bridesmaids, also starring Kristen Wiig alongside Mya Rudolph) while trying to stop…
Does anyone know how to suppress appetite?
I can not stop binging even when I am full - I still feel hungry! Can anyone help?
Motivation and community support needed
Hello wonderful people, Today I’m restarting my health journey after domestic abuse (which ended 2 years ago in court). Antidepressants and binge eating have caused me to go up by 3 dress sizes and I am pretty adamant not to step on a scale but to use my clothes as a guide. Any kind words and support would be greatly…
Hello
Hoping MFP can help me make some lifetime lifestyle changes - to be more active, which I’ve restarted recently, and more healthy eating. Hoping to connect with others that are in a similar place. I eat healthy foods most of the time, but tend to overeat, and I’m always wanting something sweet at night. Is that a habit I…

back at it (with compassion this time!)
hey everyone!! I used this app as a teenager and it got to be pretty obsessive/leading into disordered eating so i took a long break to focus on my mental health instead of my weight. now I’m back at it again trying to lose enough to put me in the healthy BMI range (20-40lbs) but with an explicit focus on eating nutritious…
How to avoid the cravings without starving?
So I'll start this by saying I am a binge eater. I eat all day long in small portions but it's mostly garbage food. At night I usually eat a ton of stuff in one go. If I start to feel bad about myself I will skip meals and eat as little as possible but eventually break and eat a ton. I'm wondering how you all eat…

So i was at the gym last week with my sister, i was doing this back exercise where you squat a little and pull down the weight in a half moon form, i couldn’t keep my body in the correct position, not to mention my body just wouldn’t move the way i needed to, i had to squat and bend down, but not arch my back, I couldn’t…
Hey, folks
Trying.Fitness Pal again, and having tribe right off the bat. I'm on my second day, although it's only about 2:00 am. In the last hour, I've eaten an apple - not bad, eh? . . .

I just want to break my unhealthy relationship with food.
Anyone else struggling to let go of their unhealthy relationship with food? After my divorce I “unhealthily” lost about 25 pounds and while I felt “good” because I was skinnier, but mentally not due to the stress of divorce. Rewind to 3-4 years now I now am healed from that and a lot happier l, but gained some bad eating…

30 lbs down
After a cancer journey and major surgery removing multiple tumors and organs in 2022 I gained 30 lbs rapidly. After months of pain and recovery I started working on getting back to my surgery weight. It has taken 8 months and very slow, not always steady progress. I’m really proud of myself and don’t really have anyone to…
