Oh maybe I did figure it out? This is bad motivation but I am just disgusted with myself. That is my motivation right now.

I cannot figure out how to join this group or write anything. Can someone please help. I need to join a group because I am not having success on my own.

I tried pretty hard this week- lost it a few times- but ended up losing one pound. It is just hard! I am going to try to stick with it this time and try to stay motivated.

Hello. I would like to join too. I am 63 years young. I am healthy but obese according to the charts. I need to lose at least 40 pounds. I love to cook and eat, I don’t like exercising and I am working and exhausted when I get home- so l have lots of challenges. I have been logging food for about 2 weeks with about a 5 day…

I am here again. I was overweight before but have added 30 pounds since Covid. I would like to join this accountability group. I am having a terrible time controlling what I eat and I have no energy to do anything

Hello everyone. Today was better than my first days usually are. Could be because I started the day with a doctors visit and I was so embarrassed to get on the stupid scale. I am really going to try hard. I would really appreciate any tricks or tips that helped all of you.

I am signing on mid February. I am in awful shape. I don’t know what happened. I am about 3 pounds less than I weighed 9 months pregnant. I have to do this and have to stay at it. My goals are to record my food everyday and get in 7000 steps. I would appreciate any help. Diane from snowy Michigan.

Starting today! I am not sure how to use the MFP app for this. I have used for calorie reduction in the past- is there anything different that I need to do. Counting calories doesn’t work for me. I am at an all time high weight. I would really appreciate any help.

Doing a little better. I need to start packing my lunch. I am way over 500 calories for lunch buying food at work. I also need to find a lower calorie breakfast that won’t leave me starving at 10 am. I am finding it hard to be truthful on the food diary- so stupid- I don’t understand why I do that when I am the only one…

Well my first day didn’t turn out that great. Could have been worse and tomorrow I will do better.

I’m interested. I have slipped and am heavier than when I started. I am not sure why- probably a lot of factors. I am 184#. Goal 164#. Today is my first day again, not a great day but I did have some restraint.

New to the group starting out at 179. My goal for right now is 160. This doesn’t sound like a lot but I have not lost weight in at least 10 years although I have been on a constant “diet “

I am struggling with being an emotional eater and depressed about life circumstances that cannot be undone. My God, food is comforting. I cannot make myself exercise but I am going to follow this thread and incorporate some of your ideas. I appreciate everyone sharing their difficulties.

For many of us, bad things happen and we eat. Eating doesn’t help anything but without question it is comforting. Broken hearts. Broken bones. Broken spirit. It all sucks but we cannot let those things sabotage us. I am trying to focus on one day at a time.

My name is Lynn. I would very much like to join. I have spent the past 2 months eating whatever I wanted. I just gave up and let go. I am a healty but heavy 61 year old woman. My current weight is 178 so I am hoping for 168- I would be thrilled with more of course.

I would like to join. I need some help. 12/05 177#. I am coming off a few weeks of mindless eating during which I gained all of the weight I had struggled to lose Thank you for the instructions!

Thank you for the uplifting comments. I am really struggling to get on track. I did well all day yesterday then sabatoged myself with mcdonalds on the way home. I am tired when I leave work , I have about a half mile walk to my car then 45 minutes to get home. By the time I get home I have no energy to cook or do anything.…

I had one bad day and then completely gave up this week. Work has been awful, I had a party at my house Saturday with delicious food then went to a birthday party with delicious food on Sunday. So I am starting over again. I NEED HELP. We are going to work on February vacation plans tonight. I am going to try making the…

I am in too! THANK YOU. I have had a really bad 6 months- marriage troubles and I have not dealt with anything well putting on weight along the way. I have logged in daily for 3 weeks. I have 20 pounds to lose by February. In February my husband and I are going on a make it- or break it trip for 2 weeks. I would like to…

I love September is the new January- really encouraging! So I am starting over and I am going to try really hard and try to stay on this thread because I know how much it helps. I have been doing really bad so my goals will be do-able so I don’t give up. Goals for this week: Stay within calorie allowance 3 days this week…

Serial starter starting again. Why is it so hard to get started

I am a terrible serial starter and am starting again. Stress has gotten the best of me and I have gained almost 15 pounds in a few months. so—-enough of that. I just logged my food in for the first time in a long time and I have eaten almost twice what I should have and am totally surprised. Awareness is crucial for me. I…

I would like to start the challenge. 8000 steps a day. Today I had over 10,000 but I ate almost twice as many calories as I should have. I had NO idea mcdonalds flurry had so many calories!!!!

I would like to rejoin the group and start again. I have put on some weight and I feel it. I have to have written goals or nothing happens. My goals for this week start simply 1). Log everything I eat 2). Pay attention to steps

Hello. I have fallen off the wagon and gained back 6 of the pounds I just worked so hard to lose. I cannot stick to it unless I am accountable and get on mfp forum every day. So I am starting over again today. I have only had breakfast but so far so good. Della

Just checking in. I am glad to see so many joining. I am easing my way back into my calorie allotment after dropping out for a while. Still over but better than yesterday again. I 'll get there. I have a big work project that is requiring hours and hours and hours of sitting at my desk but thankfully I am almost finished.…

I would like to join too! Not sure what my weight is at the moment. The challenges always help me lose- the problem is that I have difficulty sticking to it. My reward at the end of the challenge will be a weekend trip to somewhere fun. Not sure what my goal will be but I will figure that out in the morning.

I am in the midst of big marriage problem and don't know how this will turn out because I don't know what to do. I am trying to remember that I am in control of myself including what I eat. I am just too sad to have energy to exercise.
