Dang I just realized the end of July is one week. I don't think I'll be reaching that July goal after all :#

Returning because I've been bouncing around 240 for months. Trying to add some change by being more active in the community and adding more/new friends to motivate and support as well as be motivated and supported by. Feel free to send me a friend request! I know I can move forward, but I let myself get distracted. I need…

My petty reason #1 is certain members of my family growing up have always been thin and beautiful, but not me. I can see them steadily gaining weight, and I want to be on the flip side. I had been the thinnest but it didn't last. Petty reason #2 is I don't want people to think my husband settled. I've gained 130 lbs (have…

I sent you a friend request!

I've been on this app since forever. I once successfully lost 70 lbs using it and was overjoyed to have surpassed my goal. It didn't last long. I slipped up baaadd and was too depressed to stop spiraling. Ultimately I gained 130 lbs in a little less than 2 yrs by time I put my foot down. If that's not a relapse I don't…

Feel free to add me for support and motivation :)

Here's a good discussion with some people with the same thought process. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10820130/lose-10lbs-by-valentines-day/p1

Lotion while you lose. That's what I'm doing because I am concerned with potential wrinkles.

There's just so much going ooooonnnn. I can't keep up with it, so I'm putting more effort into losing weight. That's something more tangible and within my grasp/jurisdiction.

No one is always motivated. That's where self discipline is a necessity. Something I'm still learning lol

Ya'll over 2000 days need to go camping/take a vacation and unplug or something. Maybe talk to a therapist about OCD/Control issues? Lol jk. 5.5 years of going online every. single. day. That's wild. Great overall commitment

Welcome to MFP! Feel free to add me for motivation and support. Best of luck!

Welcome! I'm a yo yo-er with my health and weight. I lost 70 lbs and gained back 130 :'( Trying to improve too. Feel free to add me for motivation and support. Best of luck!

I'm a bit late, but I'd love to join. SW: 264.6 GW: 254 Jan 4: 264.6 Jan 11: 262.8 Jan 18: Jan 25: Feb 1: Feb 8: Feb 14: P.S. If you're looking for a friend for motivation and support feel free to add me!

Best of luck

I am both positive(or at least try to be) and a friend! Feel free to add me. Best of luck

Welcome. That's an admirable goal. Best of luck in your endeavors!

Welcome back. I always try to check up on groups, but a great deal of them are several years old. I wish more people made a point to interact within them. Anyway feel free to add me, and best of luck!

If it has a leafy base then I'm not eating it unless I have no other option and I'm starving lol

Daily (every morning before consuming anything) even though I know it's frowned upon. I never take it too seriously as it is daily and bloat and whatnot isn't always consistent, but I've seen a steady decline overall. It also keeps my head in the game by reminding me my goals and to stick to them at the start of every day.

I lost 80 lbs only to gain back 80 plus 40! 110 lbs of damage later I know exactly how you feel. I just "restarted" this week as well, and I'm making a point to develop LONG TERM healthy habits. I'll be damned if I allow myself to not get back to being healthy and happy, but even more so if I let myself gain it all back…

"Here!" For real though I need a better surrounding of motivation and support and would happily reciprocate. Please add me if that's what you're also all about on MFP.

Me as well. I lost 80 lbs and now I've gained 110 lbs! :'( I need all the friendly motivation and support I can get, and it will be returned!

I'm down. I'm trying to be more active and involved with the friends on my feed. If anyone else is also looking for more motivation and support as well as to be motivating and supportive feel free to add me :)

Do ya'll never go camping or a day without your phone or internet? That's just wild to me.

Melanie as I said it worked before. It's more of the fact that I have a more confined variety of food groups to choose from that typically have a lower caloric value. I'm really bad about talking myself into fast food for example, but when I'm on this mindset it doesn't even occur to me as an option. As for cooking I have…

I've been yo-yoing all my life. I was at my best health (running 3 miles in one go, etc) and then I went through a massive home-life struggle. Long story short it's been less than two years since then and I've gained 110 lbs and so here I am restarting. You're definitely not alone.

Hello, I'm just trying to really dive into the use of MFP as I also am at my highest weight. What is especially shameful about this is that I'm in the military and I feel so embarrassed to be seen in uniform or disclose my job to anyone when I'm not. I've gone through a very rough patch in my personal life and have managed…

Just restarted both weight loss efforts and being a vegetarian, so I just joined this group. It seems quite often groups on MFP are basically empty shells.

Fun
