How do you add friends? It's been awhile but I'm back at it as well and all my old accountability buddies are inactive now. Feel free to add me!

Agreed on getting a second opinion to make sure nothing is medically happening. Also, low carb dieting was NOT for me when I tried because it made me so fatigued, if that's a thing. I did begin finaflex stimul8 preworkout this week and my stamina through the workout has increased substantially. I was not extremely tired…

Thank you SO much for your encouraging words!

Thanks you guys! I'm struggling with when to weigh in. I threw away my old scale because I realized I was weighing everyday. Even after 5 days of 30-45 min exercise I feel better. I do want to lose weight but am putting that behind health. How often do you weigh in to check?

Hey! We are in the same boat and I am fairly new to this! We can totally be accountability buddies under MFP :smiley:

My food diary is open to friends, feel free to scroll through there. Simple swaps I have found helpful and surprising-I use a whole wheat and flax pita bread for sandwiches now that is quite tasty.

It is more of I get discouraged when I feel like I screwed up, then don't exercise because I'm all 'What's the point?' then the next day comes and goes, and I give up like…

You look great hun! Congratulations on your huge accomplishments! I'm new to this so I'm going to send you a request! Could definitely use inspiration like yours.

Feel free to add me! I'm new here too, but I'm staying on here a lot to keep my behind out of the kitchen lol!

Thank you!

Same here, new and excited to be here! Ready to FINALLY reach my goal and I think the accountability here would be key to success! Sending a request to all! I need the motivation and I WILL log everyday!

5'8" too :)
