New - trying to change my life
Hi, my name is Kory. After a bad bike accident, lots of pain, a broken relationship and struggling with addiction I found myself going from 144 pounds to 126 in a matter of months simply from not eating at all. Although I'm 5'2" and not technically considered a unhealthy weight I'm not happy where I am. I'm trying to get…

Why do I keep gaining weight?!
I walk/run 8-10 miles a day. I have a very active job, so I rarely sit down during the day. My net calories are 1,200 – 1,500 a day. But I am consistently gaining 2+ pounds a week!! Why is this happening? It’s so frustrating! What am I doing wrong? I would really appreciate help.

My name is Bree. New to the community.
I lost my sense of smell when I got Covid a few years ago, and now, as time is going on, it is also affected my taste, so there are many things that taste terrible to me that used to be good, including healthy foods. I hope y’all can help motivate me. :-). In the last three years, since having my baby, I’ve lost 46 pounds…

I blew it this past few weeks
I was tempted with everything! Bread, sweets, overeating. Everything! I kept checking myself in the mirror and still look fine but stayed feeling bloated, depressed and alone. I have avoided logging my food and getting in the scale. So today I step back into my program. I hate that I reverted back but I am ready to jump…

Beating sugar?
I was a 1-2 glass of wine per evening person for many years, until I finally dealt with the reality that that wasn't healthy. I am now down to 4-6 drinks per week, which is not perfect, but much better. Part of why I was drinking was to deal with stress. In order to cope with losing that crutch, I allowed myself to turn to…

I broke my leg! :(
This was supposed to be my comeback year. A few years ago, I struggled with several physiological issues (thyroid, arthritis, etc) that contributed to weight gain, as well as depression and anxiety.
