Me. I'm in Tampa area.

I'm 23. Anyone feel free to add me

I posted more about myself, but it's only showing the first part of my post. Anyways, I'm Melissa. I'm 23. I've been using MyFitnessPal for over a year. I've lost 30 pounds by just tracking my food. If we're being honest I'm not an exercise junkie, I'm lucky if I workout once a week. I don't always eat clean, sometimes I…

You are so right! I need to make walking more of a hobby again instead of something I need to do everyday

I would say mainly just fat loss right now

I'm originally from Michigan. Moved to FL about a year ago.

Like twice a week lmao

I log everything. I've been doing it for years so I'm used to it.

Wow, 20 pounds since January? Awesome job! I should have done that when I was on it, I used to take my pill at around 2 in the afternoon, I also had a job where I wasn't very active

That's really awesome!

Well really I stopped taking it because I had a period literally every week and it caused me to be in more pain than I was before with my endometriosis. I did like the fact that it cleared up my skin though and you know, prevented me from getting pregnant lol

Well I'm off of the pill now for different reasons other than the fact that I gained 30 pounds. I'm always pretty conscious of what I eat, that's why I log on myfitnesspal. I've just been having a hard time losing the extra weight, even after a year of being off of it I still feel like the hormones are affecting me.

Lucky! It made me gain so much weight, I was even counting my calories and exercising regularly

I've done that before in the past and I found it a lot more effective than weighing in everyday. I'm thinking about just doing a scale fast for a while though, I used to have an eating disorder and I overcame it, when I check the scale often I get very obsessive over it. Sometimes I just need to take a step back and stop…

Wow, thank you for posting! This video was very helpful, I'll admit I am inpatient sometimes when it comes to weight loss, and when I check I scale I do EXACTLY what he said, celebrating when the number is lower and beating yourself up when the number is higher..

I said not worrying about your weight, I didn't say anything about calories. Trust me, I have to watch what I eat too.

Well I meant mainly just not checking the scale, but still eating right and excercising.. I do better when I'm not stressing out about how much I weigh

Sounds like me, I never realize when I lose weight and when I start to gain it I never realize until it's too late. I also feel like after I know I lost weight my mind thinks that I can just eat whatever I want cause I'm smaller so then I gain again... It's like a never ending cycle. I'm trying to lose, or at least…

No cause if it really burned THAT many calories I wouldn't still be fat lol

He really is an inspiration. I also like a couple of girls I follow on Instagram that also lost over 100 pounds.

Yeah, same here..

But I want pizza not an omelette lol

I meant macros lol the two words are so close

I've tried doing Marcos before and I just can't get the right percentage, I'm usually pretty high in carbs, but I've been slowly trying to incorporate more protein into my diet

I don't really chart macros right now, I was really just looking for a lighter option

Ooo, I'm gonna look for that at the grocery store, thanks! My boyfriend and I usually get pizza on Fridays so I was looking for "healthier" options lol

But pizza and beer go so good together lmao

Yeah, I still use it. You do not need any free weights

I'm trying to get started consuming more water again, but it can be challenging at times, sometimes you just want something with flavor
