You can do this!!!! I know the gaining back part can get really upsetting but you’re stopping now. Good Job 👏

Looking for more friends to help stay accountable. Trying to get back on track after the holidays and started a new HealthyWage bet. Add me if you’re looking for more support.

I'm exactly where you are. I lost 85 lbs a few years ago out of the 125 I needed to lose but now I'm at 165 needed to lose. I need some motivation because I'm feeling pretty low these days.

Should have been binges not hinges

I have lost 85 pounds several times. But the hinges just come back. I'm now bigger than I've ever been and I'm not finding the ability or motivation to try again. I know food addiction is real. I also have used Atkins with a lot of success however when you fall off the weight comes back very quickly.

You can do this! 1 day at a time! <3

I restrict most sugar (which carbohydrates also turn to sugar) that helps the cravings go down. Before you know it youll have to force yourself to eat because you don't have an appetite.

Its not too late. You can change your life. You are capable. I feel so much for you reading your post. The road seems long but its worth it. Hugs from Texas.

I started needing to lose 127 pounds. I am down to 80 to go. Feel free to add me. Its great to have friends to encourage and motivate. BTW I am low carbing.

This breaks my heart. I feel the same from time to time but I think MyBoyG might have a great point. That might just be the issue. Keep going -- you are WORTH it.

I feel horrible for WhisperFitandHappy. I do not understand the anger here. I have my personal opinions why people might be acting like that towards her but I am going to keep them to myself in order to avoid another round of crappy comments from these individuals. I found my way here doing a google search so I too could…

Great Job!

Hi Ashley. When I started here I was at 297.8. I am currently 262. I would love to have more friends with common goals. Feel free to add me. If anyone else has similar goals or just needs more friends to help encourage and motivate them feel free to add me as well.

I had a total of 128 pounds to lose and I am down to 93 left. My favorite food is Queso and Tortilla chips. :) I would love to have you as a friend to encourage and support one another.

You are doing amazing. I know the three pounds seem overwhelming and it seems like a setback but just decide to not let it get you down. Pick up and keep moving forward! You've gone this far you should KNOW you have it in you to continue!

My name is Holly, I am 41 from central Texas and have over 100 pounds to lose and am looking for some friends with common goals. I have recently lost my mom and am struggling through the grief. Looking for something to fill that void which I know is impossible. I would love any adds from MFP community.

I used to use the elliptical. I still have plans to use it but it seems walking was better I think it has a lot to do with the excess weight I am carrying and burning more because of that fact. I would really like a rowing machine. If any one has any experience with rowing machines I would love some advice.

Feel free to add me as well. I have 100+ pounds to lose. :)

Hi. I also have 100+ pounds to lose. I would love to encourage and be encouraged through this journey of weight loss. Friend me if you would like. I am new to MFP -- 1 week using the community and other tools. However I have used the food tracker longer.

I would love to join this challenge. I'm new to my fitness pal how would I join? For now I'm going to add you as a friend :)

I added you

Hi there. I'm quite a bit older than you but I'm a stay at home mom of 4 however all of them are now in school. I'm about 15lbs heavier as well. I am also trying to break the cycle of food addiction and I want to be more active with my kids. Maybe we could encourage each other or share stories?
