Hey there! I eat mostly vegan food, but I still eat dairy/egg here and there. Hoping to eventually be fully vegan--I just feel so much better when I am! I sent you a friend request :)

Hey there, I added you! I'm newly vegan and absolutely loving it. I love getting and giving support on here with everyone...so anyone else please feel free to add me as well :)

I'm transitioning to veganism and eat vegan most of the time! Feel free to add me :)

Feel free to add me for support and motivation! It helps me to have more people working towards a similar goal :)

Feel free to add me and message me anytime for support! You can do this. You have so many reasons WHY, so just focus on those reasons for motivation! :)

Hello there! I eat a plant-based diet and am transitioning to being completely vegan, and it has positively impacted my life tremendously! I feel great and have more energy to work out, helping me lose weight. I added you; feel free to message me anytime!

Hello! I'm 5'1 with about 30 pounds to lose. I'm taking it 5 pounds at a time because otherwise I get overwhelmed and quit every few weeks lol. Feel free to add me!! I love motivating and being motivated!

That is so exciting! Good for you. Do you weigh your food or just eyeball it/stick to serving size estimates?

First things first--Take care of your mind. Be kind to yourself. It's hard to fight a physical battle when you're in a mental battle.

Hey there! I also have struggled with a mixture of depression and the cycle of dieting for 3-4 days and then binging, then hating myself. You CAN and you WILL overcome it! I still do it every now and then but not nearly as often as I used to. Just coming here for advice is showing you're taking steps in the right…

Feel free to add me if we aren't already friends! I love seeing lots of different people focused on health and positivity!

That is so exciting!!! Congrats! Feel free to add me! Sounds like you'd be a good motivation for me too!

You can add me! I've taken a bit of a break as well and am hoping to be more consistent from now on.

I would assume it is because you are closer to a healthier weight. Good job on losing close to 40 lbs; that's amazing!!

If I make time on the weekend or early in the week to meal prep, I usually cook up a healthy soup or casserole or fajita veggies to eat at lunch throughout the week. That is my favorite way to eat lunch, because it's fresh and still savory and filling! But if I'm having a lazy week, I buy Amy's Light & Lean frozen…

I have found that sometimes I eat more just because I'm thinking about food because of tracking--so I totally know what you mean. And if not counting works best for you, go for it! I still am counting but have to remind myself throughout the day, "Are you eating because you know you need to log something, or are you eating…

I completely understand that need for all or nothing...but it isn't realistic. You'll never be perfect. And that's OKAY! You are enough. You are okay the way you are. It's not going to change over night, but if you practice being more moderate here and there, after a while it'll be easier. And you'll be a lot more content…

Well it sounds like you had a really good day--just because you indulged in some junk food doesn't mean you completely ruined the healthy part of your day! Be kind to yourself. If eating only clean food is leading you to binge on the foods you miss, then maybe you should try to incorporate those foods you love into your…

Thank you!! That worked!

Yes, I've added a title. That makes sense it wouldn't accept the format...I clicked the html icon like you said, pasted my blog, clicked update, and then clicked save, but still nothing. Is this beyond just getting help from other posters--like should I contact tech support?

I've even condensed it to where the word limit is extremely smaller. I've also tried typing it all out again just in case it doesn't like my copying and pasting the document. Haalllp :(

Feel free to add me! I love having friends to motivate and be motivated by.

Yes, I love MFP so much! I feel the same about not feeling guilt about eating food anymore. I used to see food as "good" and "bad" and did not have a healthy relationship with it. With the support of MFP and the mindset of simply keeping track of my food, I feel so much better! It doesn't feel like a burden at all. I'm so…

Hey Valarie! I'm Jade. I think there are many people who are unable to exercise much and are still able to lose weight! It's all about portion control and having a certain calorie deficit each day. I'd say make a plan to walk your dog or work out at the gym when you feel like it, but focus more on finding out how many…

Hey there, shorty at 5'1 over here! Starting weight was 155 lbs, Most recent weigh in was 151.2, and goal weight is 125! Feel free to add me :smile:

YAY!! Congrats!! That is so exciting :) You look great too.

I love this post. I'm 5'1 and am sedentary at an office job, so I don't feel deprived by eating 1200 calories a day. Some days I feel like it's too much, and some days I'll eat more if I've worked out or feel like I need it. So it IS possible to make that small amount of calories a lifestyle IF it feels best for you.…

Hey there! I'm motivated about 90% of the time, and the other times I'm just a little tired but still optimistic! Hehe. I added ya.

I added you! Using MFP is super helpful in staying consistent with your journey. Happy you're here!

I have totally had that experience...over and over again for a few years until now. I lost 30 pounds back in 2012 and felt great! But over the last few years I kept saying "life is short" and overate&drank how I wanted (often) instead of doing it in moderation. Now I've gained it all back and am finally at the point where…
