I also have what doctors currently classify as an autoimmune disease (IBD). I have been on high doses of prednisone twice. I immediately began gaining weight based from the prednisone and the intraveneous nutrition I was recieving. Weight gain continued both times while living on a limited liquid diet of broth, jello, tea,…

Hey there! I have IBD myself. I have been living with Ulcerative Colitis since July of 2010 (going on five years). It can be very managable for some and completely dibilitating for others, so I can understand feeling overwhelmed. Your husband's experience is my greatest fear. When I was first diagnosed, I had holes in…

I don't have a scale, so I always record as accurately as possible based on calories. I just started using MFP again recently, but I've been keeping a journal at home for a couple of weeks. When I make food from scratch, I add up the servings of every component (garlic, onions, carrots, etc.). I will also add extra…

I'm 21 and I'm starting with the goal of losing 20 pounds, but ideally I'd like to lose 50 or more. Feel free to add me! :) I don't always log the day of (my internet at home can be fussy), but I try to always to back and fill out my log.

I'm 5'5'' and 21 years old. I rarely exercise unless it's running up and down the three flights of stairs to my apartment or cleaning the place. MFP gave me 1200, and I don't usually eat more than 1400 on a bad day (including the calories I can back from my minimal exercise. But I haven't lost a pound yet. Actually, I've…

Hello and welcome! I feel just about the same. Feel free to add me if you need another buddy for encouragement. I know I do. Good luck to you!

Well, I'm also 21, but I'm 5'5'' and a bit (70-ish pounds) heavier than you, but I've definitely been in your spot. Sometimes it's not about the scale, it's about how you feel and how things fit. I know I've been in great shape (and happy) at a higher weight, and I've been in terrible shape (and looked huge) at a lower…

I am the same way. I haven't been active here in months, and it really shows on the scales and in my closet. I think a big part of it was not being connected with anyone on the site. Feel free to add me (any of you) if you need more accountability. I know I do.

I'm a recent "graduate", I'm taking my last two classes this summer. I'm a traditional college student (went to college directly after high school), and my mom is a non-traditional or continuing studies student (returning later in life). I've been working two part time jobs as a full time student for the past four years.…

Best of luck to you! I'm looking for some firends/accountability partners here, too.

I have juiced in the past, and it worked really well for me. It did help my digestive tract to "relax". However, I am a HUGE outlier. My reality is that due to a chronic disease, I generally cannot consume large quantities of fiber. It can literally cause bleeding in my digestive tract. Additionally, I am sometimes…

Hi all! I'm with you. The yo-yo-ing is awful. I'm in my early 20's, but I already have an unhealthy track record of up and down. I'd really like to start working towards a healthy weight and establishing healthier eating/exercising habits. I'd love to make friends that I can support and receive accountability from. Best of…

Hi! I'm Laryssa. I'm not exactly new here, but I just got back to using the site and I haven't made any friends yet. Feel free to add me, and best of luck on your journey!
