  • Apparently this is my 6yr anniversary with MFP. Haha I've reached goals, slid back, restarted, gave up...here I go again. Logging isn't fun. It's a difficult habit for me to form. I usually end up logging near the end of my day and struggling to remember everything I ate along the way. I get discouraged easily and…

  • Request sent. Thanks!
  • Request sent! I used to be fit as well. I ran every day, around 6-8 miles, and really enjoyed it. Now, half a mile has me hating life. haha I'm still trying to figure out exactly how that happened.
  • Thank you for the encouragement!
  • Request sent! Thanks.
  • My baby is 4, so I can't really say it's pregnancy weight anymore. haha Either way, I need to lose it.
  • I have a 4 year old, and she says the same thing. I always try to be body positive around her, but she is obsessed with my stomach. She even had nightmares about hers being as big and woke me up crying. "Why does it move like that...look like that? Does it hurt? Is mine going to be that big?" It makes me feel like a…
  • I lost over 40lbs here under a different account in 2010/2011. Gained it back double after college and a kid. Been a serial starter since 2014. Determined to make it stick this time! Feel free to add me!
  • Add me! Serial starter. Lost 40lbs doing this before. I can ...WILL keep at it. It would be nice to have someone to send me a nudge if I get lazy though.
  • Serial starter here! Lost 40lbs with MFP years ago. Kicking myself for not keeping it off. I used to be 120, but gained about 60lbs after college and another 40 after my daughter was born. I basically ordered in daily while on maternity leave. ....Yikes. Current weight is 220. Goal is 150-160 for now. I feel like I can…
  • 28 Working mother of a 2 yr old Going back to school to finish my degree this Fall. Heaviest:230 in 2015 Current: 204 Goal: 150 Feel free to friend request!
  • Thank you, everyone, for your feedback on this issue. I will get it checked.
  • No. I mean, I occasionally take an Excedrin,but I can count on one hand how many I have taken in the last 3-4 months.
  • They seem fairly spontaneous. Most of them are dime sized, but some of them are more the size of half dollars.
  • I'm 5'3" and looking to lose 50 lbs. Starting weight: 225 Current:205 Goal:155 My BMI suggests 115-130,but I have an athletic frame,and don't look very healthy at such a low weight. 29 year old working mother of a 2 yr old. Anyone feel free to add me!
  • No, because they are factored in as activity,so they're included in my daily goal.
  • Feel free to add me. I've gained 100 lbs when I hit my mid 20's and am sick of packing it around. Been between 230-200 for 6 years now. I'm also notorious for grazing,but only at work. I don't know what that's about. Haha
  • I try to check what I log with the packaging whenever possible. If necessary, I just add the item myself. I once logged a single glass of wine that someone had entered around 2000 calories!
  • If it's a popular restaurant, you should be able to find it on the database. Something like Little Cesar's Pepperoni. If not, you could try to log something similar.
  • Working mother of 1 with 50 lbs to lose! Not my first go with MFP. I lost 50 lbs here before my pregnancy. Sending a friend request! I joined the Y. Suprisingly affordable. They have fairly flexible childcare hours,and I get some me time that isn't at work. Haha
  • @ninerbuff Thanks​ for your feedback. My fiance taught for 15+ years, but, after we had our daughter, we don't have a balance for teaching classes,work,and childcare. Based on your explanation, I will probably stick to making him hold the mitts for me after dinner. Haha
  • So no targets or anything? Just the air? I only ask because I know some women wear gloves. I didn't know if I should wear some hand wraps or something. I guess I can give it a go. Boredom is what I'm afraid of. Haha Is there any attention to form? That's probably going to be the deal breaker for me. It's such a pet peeve…
  • I wish my gym had a couple of heavy bags. I have one at home,but it would be easier to use one at the gym while my toddler is in the childcare area. That being said, I picked my gym because of the childcare area. Before my daughter, I liked my old gym because it was small and comfortable. Cardio equipment in one area,…
  • Mom of an (almost) 2 year old, 60 lbs to get rid of, work 30-40hrs/week,and trying to get into lifting.
  • Maybe you're not eating enough calories if the site suggests more? When I first joined (a different account about 4 yrs ago), it started me at 1200. At my size with my activity level, that's not enough! I calculated my TDEE,and that's what I go by. Message me,and I can try to help you figure that out. Calorie counting…
  • @isabel3698, you click their name and select add friend on their profile page.
  • Ok, my comment was much longer,but half of it is missing. Anyway, I was 1/2 way to my goal before I had my little girl. She's almost 2,and I've gained most of the weight back. I use MFP as a social networking app, commenting on posts and making posts as well. Looking for friends with sensible, healthy goals.
  • This is actually my 2nd account and 3rd attempt.
  • 60 to lose and trying to learn to manage my carb intake for medical reasons. All friends with sensible,safe, healthy calorie goals are welcomed to add me!
  • Hmmm... Eating too little was definitely an issue for me the last time around. I lost loads of weight quite quickly,but put it all back and then some. I refuse to ban anything from my plate,because I know I won't hold myself to it. Trying to get back into working out and...Eating appropriate portions. What has really…
