Breaking the binge / delete / create new account cycle
Sometimes I feel like an addict! As soon as I stray from my perception of a healthy day (even just a little), I go full throttle vacuum mouth mode. I've read a bit about binge-eating, and I understand that it isn't about the food as much as it's about the binge... but I can't seem to break the cycle. It's almost like, as…

Weight Loss Journey - Starting Over
Hello everyone! :) I'm Susu. I'm 33, 5'10'' and I'm here to talk about my weight loss journey. I weigh 343 lbs and my goal is to reach at least 200 lbs. I'd be very happy with that being that I'm tall. I'm not sure if an accountability partner is what I'm looking for. As a matter of fact, I don't know what I'm even doing.…

Starting Over
Hello all! My name is Nikki. Last year, my son, Jack, and I left my ex after a very messy, scary break-up and I’ve spent this past year focused on Jack.

Post pregnancy weight loss
Support needed! I’ve lost nearly 4 and a half stone since having my daughter almost 18 months ago which is great! But I find I’m so tired every day that it’s a struggle to calorie count, make healthy choices or exercise more. Think I need some accountability! I’m UK based so please add 😊

Workout partners/accountabilibuddys

I have made quite a bit of progress over the summer by myself but I do miss working out with my uni's weightlifting society - I just find it more fun and energising and I have people to correct my form etc. For privacy I…

Reading MFP stats
Wondering if anyone can help... looking at my weekly stat, the calories burned are much lower than calories consumed. Is this not accounting for the daily calories that my body uses just to exist? Or do I not have a calories deficit at all?

Cycling Weight?
As someone who has been working out for a few years and monitored my weight religiously, I have made it a habit to ignore the scale.
