Hi and welcome! this app is great and the people on the forum are very supportive and generous in sharing their knowledge and support!

If you can't exercise reach out to your friends on this forum I find that going through the forum helps me

You probably need to change up your routine both eating and working out. What ever you do DO NOT give up the last few lbs seem to be the hardest to drop but you can do it.

Congrats!! You've learned such a great lesson and reminded us all that if we give up we will never reach our goals!! As you said the days pass regardless so why not make the best of them and put in the work. Be very proud of what you have accomplished and let that fuel you to get you to your next goal!! You've got this!!!

Hi red, the very first part of your post sounded exactly like my journey except I didn't gain back weight because of an injury I simply fell off track.

43 lbs in 3 months???? How amazing!!! If you have anymore to lose it may start slowing down so hang in there and enjoy the new healthier you!

I wish I had an amazing response for you but unfortunately I don't. Sometimes you just have to do it not think about it not wait for the motivation just do it.

Thanks I haven't acquired a taste for cottage cheese as yet I'm a really picky eater I just started eating salad ( and by that I mean lettuce) a few years ago lol

Thanks Addie I do DNS that when I don't drink enough water I definitely feel more hungry.

Thank you both!! I am currently eating pretzels which have way more calories than I think they are worth!

Hi Mandy I'm Melissa let me know how I can help support you in this journey.

I lost 40 lbs a few years ago and have put back about 13 so I'm back as well. Let me know how I can help support you.

Delady is right. This forum is amazing for support and advice. Let me know how I can help

Have you tried having a healthy snack between lunch and dinner so you're not so starved by dinner?? Also try drinking some water before dinner sometimes I think I'm hungry when I'm actually thirsty.

Stick with it it's a great app and the community is awesome. Let me know how I can help

This post could not have come at a better time for me so THANK YOU

Now you know what works so you are a step ahead!!

I prefer exercising in the morning at first it was hard but honestly over time I found it gave me the energy I need to get thru the day plus if I do it in the morning I don't have the entire day to talk myself out of it.

Thanks for your support I went over today again only by about 150 cals not 700 but will definitely do better tomorrow!!

Honestly your post could have been written by me!! I fell off and am climbing and clawing my way back onto the wagon. Yesterday I was way over calories mostly thanks to chips cause as you said I didn't want fruit. Lol. And you're right we should all be proud that we are taking the steps necessary to get and stay healthy!!

Thanks for your support I went over today again only by about 150 cals not 700 but will definitely do better tomorrow!!

Hi Sara You have come to the right place for support! MFP community is a great place for support motivation and advice. My advice is to take this one day at a time and don't hesitate to reach out if you need support!

Even if you can't do an hour at the gym just commit to spending some time exercising, you know once you start you will feel better. Walking into the gym us the hardest step.
