Hey there I'm jessamyn on here and on MeFi. If people do or don't want to share their MeFi handles or real names that's totally AOK. I've been using MFP to track the food that I've been eating since April of last year and it's been really helpful to me both to understand more about what's in the food I eat [and the food I…
Hi all - not much traffic on this forum! If you're still around, how about a progress update? I'll start: I weighed 214.8 lb. when I started MFP on Jan. 7, 2013. One year later, I weighed 168.6 lb.

I'm on week 3 of Couch to 5K, and even though it's not getting any easier, at least I'm getting it done, and kind of look forward to it oddly enough. Clean eating is fairly easy to stick to Monday to Friday, but weekends are…
I'm starting to feel a bit of a plateau hit combined with the urge to snack non-stop. I know it is hard to pinpoint exactly what makes people change their habits, but I'm looking for things you seek out to inspire you to continue on your journey to health. Do you read blogs or websites that motivate you? I'm basically…
Anyone want to share how long they have been trying to get healthier/lose weight? I've been at this since July 2009. My highest weight was 335lbs. I have lost a lot but have about 50lbs left for me to feel like I'm "done".
