Weight loss without, or with limited, physical activity.

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…

Help this introvert get out there
I have so many interests, tennis, hiking, golf, and especially swimming. My introversion holds me back from so many. My friends' schedules differ from mine and can’t usually join me. I know I should just get out there and enjoy it on my own. There’s a pool about 15 minutes away from me and I’ve gone with friends during the…

Coach Account
This is a little bit of a piggy back to anothers post but as someone who is getting started in the coaching business it would be SUPER helpful if we could have a coach account. I like a lot of the different aspects of MFP and use them in my own life. But as a coach, what I'd like to do is set up each client with a premium…

Hello all
I am here to try building a sustainable healthy lifestyle. I do good, I do bad, I get better and fall off again. My weight is up and down and I have terrible eating habits except for when I don't. Maybe by logging in daily I will get that constant reminder that I am not the only one and change is possible.

New Here
Hi, everyone. My name is Elena and I'm feeling anxious and excited to start this journey. A couple of months ago, I made the decision to get off of adderall, a stimulant medication used to treat ADHD. For the approx. 10 years I was prescribed, I enjoyed the appetite suppressant qualities of the medication as well the boost…
