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…

Hello y'all
Hello My name is Carol and I am new to MyFitnessPal. I was diagnosed with T2 Diabetes in 2012 but I really didn't take it seriously because I didn't feel ill at all.

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.

Addicted to sugar
Hi! I'm looking for some advice on how to deal with always craving sugar. I kept gaining weight whithout understanding why.

Body image issues after losing weight?
This is a subject that I didn’t realize I would need to address but…well…here I am. Does anyone who has lost a lot of weight struggle with body image? A quick summary to help make sense of where I’m coming from. When I was in my 20s-30s i basically lived at my gym (hence the username)…I was strong…I was cut (lifted 5/days…

Getting discouraged, how do you cope?
Even though I've lost 72lbs I'm still over weight. Just looking in the mirror I can't tell a difference now vs. at my heaviest. I'm just feeling frustrated that I've come so far and still have so much more to go. I get to thinking that I'll never be able to look how I picture myself in my head, because I've been overweight…

Done this before but need encouragement to start again.
Hi! I have been a member of Myfitnesspal in one form or fashion for years! I have had great results at times but since suffering a few losses in my family I have lost my mojo in a couple of ways.

Help Needed: Workout Plan for Sufferers of Long COVID

Morning Anxiety
Are you someone who wakes up feeling fresh, rested, and ready for the day? Or do you wake up with crippling anxiety? I am the latter.
