My Fitness Journey: Daily Check-Ins
I’ve been so inspired by people on here holding themselves accountable, so shoutout to 54shadesofblue and mikeyrowlands—seeing your posts made me want to start holding myself accountable in the same way. A little peer encouragement (pressure ;)) isn't such a bad thing! So, I just turned 21 (whoop whoop!), but truthfully -…

Hi, and Welcome! I'm in a few other challenges, but I'd like to start a new one, beginning Wednesday, May 28th, 31 weeks until New Year's Eve.

Not Just Another Weight Loss Attempt - Looking Ahead This Time
Hey everyone, I’ve been on and off the weight loss train for over a decade—lose the weight, gain it back, and each time I end up a little heavier than before. I just restarted my journey three days ago and I’m feeling good about losing the 20 lbs I’ve set as my goal. But this time, I’m trying something different. I’ve…

I'm a newbie
Hi all! I joined the app this week and I just took my 3rd GLP-1 shot. I'm down 6.5 lbs, feeling more energy and less inflammation. It's been a great experience so far. I'm basically trying to figure out how to eat. I don't really understand macros but I like that the food log figures it out. When in doubt,I just stick to…

I just lost 14lbs and Im only 6lbs away from being at my lowest weight😄
I am BEYOND excited, I’ve been watching my diet the past few month(s) and I just weighed myself today. To my shock, I lost 14lbs, I was in such disbelief that I grabbed another scale thinking the scale was off, NOPE definitely lost 14lbs. I’m literally 6lbs away from being at my lowest weight in YEARS, last time I weighed…

😁😁🍁🍁The excitement is BUILDING!!! Many are having real success! HOW? 🍁🍁😁😁
Years ago, I sat as many do now, with many lbs to lose (For myself, it was over 100 lbs), hitting the online sites hoping to find one that would help me to lose weight. I had been on my own, going from 288 to 256, and I was STUCK!!! Does this sound familiar to you? Being stuck or not motivated, looking for real support. I…

Do Natural appetite suppressants really work or is it just mindset?
I've been reading about natural appetite suppressants like green tea, protein-rich meals, or even herbal teas. Some people claim they reduce cravings a lot, but others say it's all about discipline and buildings habits. Personally, I've noticed drinking more water before meals helps me eat less. what are you thoughts? Do…

Who says dieting can be boring???
When I first tried losing weight I really hated it, it felt like a complete punishment. “You cant have food until you’ve lost weight!” is what I told myself, so I ate a consistent diet of Chicken Salads, Chicken Breasts and greens for months; and I detested it. Well, 60lbs+ lost and my perspective has completely changed.…

A great start to my journey
All my life I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food, it didn’t matter if I was happy, sad or even angry I would always turn to food for comfort! Just a little over 5 months ago I decided to make a change on how I saw food, re-educationed myself as I couldn’t continue with making the wrong choices and watching the…
