I haven't read this book (but thanks for the suggestion), however I follow Kim Dolen Leto and her podcast Fit Gods way. She also has a workbook by the same name that I bought. I've yo-yo'd most of my adult life. In 2018 I became ill with an autoimmune disease and lost 50lbs pretty easily while on ww. However, numerous…

Canadian here as well and I can use more friends! Feel free to add me. I don’t know how to add people 🤣

Hello! I was restlessoul on Spark, and was a faithful user back in the day. More recent years I had gone over to ww and did some yo-yoing (the pandemic was horrible for me). I'm back here now and didn't even know SP was gone until I saw this thread. I see now its called SparkAmerica and it completely abandoned us…

Free. I was on the trail premium but honestly its features really didn’t make me eat or track any different so I cancelled it. And the ads really aren’t that bad.

I have lupus as well, was just diagnosed last August. I was a ww member and in my first year lost 40lbs (undiagnosed at the time). Now I’ve spent 15 months and all I have done is gained. I’m up 12 lbs from my lowest and I am very upset. The only big change is my diagnosis and being put on plaquenil. I’m getting off the ww…

Same here. I loved my WW group and still do but I hate the FS plan. I had lost 40 on the previous program and gained back 12 in the last 14 months. I had to really ask myself why I was paying to be humiliated every week. So here I am. Please add me if you like! And yes we can do this! 👊🏼

I have been a ww member for two years. First year was on Beyond the Scale. I lost weight consistently all year. Then came Freestyle. I have struggled all year plateaued, and now actually gaining. I have tried to stick to their “plan”. Gagging down foods I can’t stand. I find myself often reaching into the cupboard to free…

I’m coming up on 2 years as a WW member. I HATE freestyle!!!! I lost steadily until they brought it in. Now I’m just plain hangry all the time, stressed because I can’t stick to my points and generally demotivated. I realized that my weight was slowly going up about 1 pound a month so I’m giving it up!! Came back to MFP.…

Raising my hand over here!! I did one year on Beyond the Scale and lost steadily. Even went on some huge vacations and just ate and enjoyed - in one year I was down 40lbs with 20 to go. And then they switched to Freestyle. I hate it. I gave it an honest try and it doesn’t work. I was over points every single day. Then…

Thank you all! Nice to meet all of you as well :) I am still trying to figure out how to navigate the different apps lol. I had joined a group on FB called Back to 30, but I find it overwhelmingly negative. I still like using ww connect and attending my meetings. More and more people are saying that freestyle doesn’t work…

Me too, been here before and I also was dumb enough to sign up to Weight watchers in Jan and haven't even tracked one day with them. Anyways I like MFP so I am back.

Feel free to add me! Been on for a month and doing a weightlifting program but not seeing any loss yet. I need help staying motivated and would love to support others in their journey!

Yup me too! My highest weight was 225, then during my divorce I dropped 30lbs without even trying. Two years out and gained nearly all back. Currently at 219, aiming for 175.

I have mine synced and I think its pretty neat. That said I look at it more as a guide for myself because I need that feedback. I really didn't realize before how sedentary I am in the winter vs the summer. The fitbit reminds me to move more. I try hard not to eat the extra calories it gives me. I am not sure yet if that…

Northern Alberta, Canada and its COLD..... -16c (3F)... and its windy so it feels even colder!! But on the bright side the sun is shining and it is beautiful bright outside so its ok! Part of living in the north!

Mine has been good but sometimes I have to go into each app and tell them to sync. I usually sync the fitbit first, and then then the MFP.

I have some serious issues in my lower back as well and suffer from sciatica. My problems are in L4 L5 and L5 S1. My MRI a few years back showed herniated discs and serious degenerative disc disease way earlier than I should have developed it. Now this year I have develop an instability problem in those same areas which…

Please add me! New to mfp and need encouragement!

I understand your struggle. I am new to mfp but have spent years on weightwatchers, tried sparkpeople, dabbled in Paleo etc. The only time I have ever lost weight with ease was when I went through a horrible divorce. The weight literally fell off without effort. Now two years out I have packed it all back on. I don't like…
