Back on the horse…
Lifelong struggle with my weight. No support from hubby (who can eat anything and not gain weight) who thinks if I just eat salads for every meal, how can I not lose weight? I’ve done vegetarian, prescription medication, veganIsm, keto and low fat diets. I am open for new friends and to be a friend to others that struggle.

I am DONE!!
This is me about 12 years ago. I can see so much more self-confidence and self-reliance in my eyes. I miss that. Physical and mental health problems, nursing my Mother through dementia and grieving her death, along with comfort eating, have been the contributors to me gaining well over 70lbs since this photo was taken. I…

The struggle is real
Hello everyone, I recently had surgery and before the surgery I wasn’t able to work out for months due to pain. Currently I still can’t workout my lower body, I’m at the heaviest weight I have ever been without being pregnant.

Operation: Fit into my jeans
I don't want to buy new clothes but my jeans (and skirts and pants) don't fit anymore. I gained the COVID 20. Very much like the freshman 15. I hope to get a few people to laugh and chat with about success and setbacks. Anything to keep me motivated to use this bloody app! Will love any takers.

Millets and diabetes
How millets release glucose? We've always heard and some what believed that millets are good for diabetics, their slow-release mechanism helps to release glucose over a period time, etc So if you never believed it, it's ok, neither did I 😉 So I thought of trying it out and see if there's really proof in this pudding called…

Back Again - Hopefully for the Last Time!
Hi, I'm Nelle. I'm 28, female. I've been struggling with my weight since I was about 13. Around 16, I was diagnosed with PCOS.

I'm 242 pounds and 5'7 tall, and I need to shed a lot of weight before August.
I've been doing calorie deficit for a week and have lost 1 or 2 pounds so far, but I need to lose more by August for a very crucial personal reason. Should I increase my cardio? Please provide ideas. Thank you ahead of time!

Weightless pals
Does anyone want to be pals in trying to lose weight? I'm just trying to lose 10 - 15 lbs. I've been trying to lose weight for months, but it's not really working out. I think having a friend who could keep me accountable would help. Does anyone want to become pals and ask each other about daily progress?

Is my goal possible? How should I go about doing it?
I’m 5”1 at 115 lbs with a GW of 106 lbs (my weight before my parents’ divorce caused my anxiety and depression to flare then result in binging). I want to achieve my GW in 5 weeks or less, is it possible? I go to the gym at least 4 times a week, I used to focus on cardio but now I focus on resistance and strength training.…

Fibro and Fasting
I have just begun an extended protein sparing fast. I have multiple food intolerances, so fasting takes a lot of the guessing out of it. I am hoping to lose weight and also to decrease my inflammation and pain.

Serial Starter looking for some people to help me stick with it till the end this time.
If you go back in my profile I have said this a few times and I can't lie, it's frustrating as hell to admit it but I need to admit it. Hopefully the fact it's coming back into summer is going to be a kick up the backside I need to be able to get an actual kick start on this so in the winter I can slack a little whilst…

I'm at a point right now where I'm the heaviest and least in shape I've ever been. I've always been very active and in shape until 3 years ago when diagnosed with a chronic illness.

Hi Im Becca, new to MFP.
I really didn't have any intentions of having an app to follow my diet and weight loss, but here I am. I'm working towards a goal of losing at least another 40 lbs.

Exercise recovering from ankle injury?
Hi! I'm looking for some tips for exercises I can do without using an injured ankle at all (I can put ~half weight on it, but can't bend it at all and probably won't be able to for some weeks.) For the past three months, I'd committed to doing squats, lunges, planks, and walking every single day. For a minimum of a teeny…
