Anyone have a suggestion for a good beginners, never done before, Yoga app? I see they have them for weightloss, strengthening and breathing. I am over 50, over weight, with knees that don’t do stairs but can walk like a cross country trekker!

HI all! I am looking for some support and an accountability connection. I have been off of MFP for awhile, after a long term where I lost a lot of weight and was so close to my goal, I fell off the wagon. Since falling I put back 30 pounds. I still exercise regularly, but my food intake has gone off the charts. Would like…

I'm in!

That's where I was too just shy of 51. I didn't have diverticulitis but I did have blood pressure issues, sleeping problems, depression alcohol problems nd overall I hated myself. Now about 50 lbs later, life is so different and I am happy.

Second time

I am 5'2" and when I started my MFP plan I was almost 200 pounds and just prior to starting it I was actually over 200. Since then with the help of MFP, working out and my commitment to myself I have been successful in shedding about 50 lbs. I used to belong to the YMCA but I at the first of the year I cancelled my…

I have had this happen too! A couple weeks ago, I went crazy for chocolate and the following Monday the scale was up almost 4 pounds, but by the following Monday 2.5 of those pounds were gone and as of this last Friday all of it was gone plus another half. Today I had a peice of pie and by lunch I am over my calorie count…

* What started me was the scale topping over 200, I couldn't do stairs because me knees hurt, I had just turned 50 and lost my career position after almost 10 years. It took a year of logging and excersizing and I shed almost 50 pounds. * What motivates me? At first it was the bagginess of my clothes and people noticing,…

It was the donating of 22 pairs of pants! I could'nt believe I had all these pants three different sizes, size 14W, 16W and yes I even had a couple of 18W. Today I wear a 12! And those pants that were a lil too tight sitting in the darkness of my closet were too big too!

I stalled for about 5 weeks, but I didn't give up. I still logged everyday and worked out 3 to 5 times a week. When I went for a weigh in my weight didn't change but there were decreases in inches and a decrease in my BMI. So I had success but I should have celebrated that fact that I didn't go backwards.

It's confusing...I know. I thought coming here was the group. But after reading this tonight I realized there had to be another area. I am on my IPAD so it might be different for you but if you go to the top of the screen of the communities page there is a lil text box, if you select it groups show up, go there and then…

Today I sparked motivation in myself....while getting dressed I went through two belts until I found one that enough holes to fit me, then as I was exiting the bathroom stall at work I faced myself in the mirror and thought, "I am looking good!" Then later when sitting in my chair at work I heard a commercial about the…

I have never been a part of a motivational group before and have been on MFP for almost a year! Not sure what a motivational group looks like, but as I have kind of plataued I think I could use some motivation to keep moving! I'm in!

I don't go out walking or team up with people to walk and exercise, but I do enjoy cyber friendship! My hubby and I only get one day off together so I like to be home when he is. I work out at the gym, mostly treadmill, weight resistance machines and a water aerobics class. When I started MFP, I wanted to lose about 45 to…

Always up for more friends! This is my 3rd but most successful time on MFP. Things have changed in my life too, I went from a job that ran my life to a desk job where I now have control and have lost 35 pounds since the end of September. Currently I am feeling a little stuck, no weight loss in two weeks, so someone that…

This morning I reviewed my previous posts looking to see if I recorded a specific milestone. While I didn't find it, I did find encouragement! Looking through the posts I saw, "burned," "completed," "lost," "has logged in for...," along with my own personal notes of struggles and strengths. Try it, look at your previous…

Good morning all! Well another stage of my life has hit. My daughter moved out yesterday to be on her own. She has been very smart along the way, saving money, buying her own car, building her career and creating a stable relationship with her boyfriend. She is a beautiful 25 year old adult! Though I didn't see her very…

More Friends???? Of course. I could certainly use friends that want to encourage and support me as well as be encouraged and supported.

Thanks for explaining all that to me. I have only really been interested in my health for about a year now and am just started to understand nutrition and fitness. Of course my answer would be the second one. I see a lot of people loosing weight quickly and looking saggy, it doesn't look healthy at all.

Thank you. So what do you think a person should pay attention to? Or do you think it even matters?

Been back on MFP since October of last year, I think I just passed my 110th (or more) day of logging my meals. I decided to make some changes in my life last May when I quit drinking, then when I came home from vacation in September I decided it was time to refocus on me. So I hit MFP up again, got a couple of friends and…

When I started my journey I wanted to lose 50 - 60 pounds. I recently charted my first 20lb loss still have 30-40 to go! I'm In!

My day started with sabotage! My husband bought my favorite cinnamon roles, only 150 cal. but 6 grms of fat. But the day progressed as usual with a little lighter lunch. After dinner and pie, I was about 725 calories over my MVP plan. I weighed myself the morning of just as a gentle reminder of my goals and found I lost…

I would love to connect with you. We have some similar characteristics and thoughts. Please let me know.
