I have the same habit and it’s a hard one to break. Some things that help me: 1. Don’t have any bad foods in the house. Then when the urge to eat feelings comes up, there is less available for easy consumption. Eating healthy stuff is less fun in those times and filling. 2. Talk to someone - venting helps! 3. Go for a walk…

I totally get you, 1200 is a tough goal to meet every day. My current goal is 1300 and I find that difficult. But I give myself credit for exercise and allow myself to eat some of those extra calories. That and choosing low carb / low refined sugar, high protein, lots of fibre and water like I’m walking the Sahara. 🙃 And…

Ok my streak currently is under 30 🙈 but the reason for that is that I was living the life I’d achieved from 146 lbs lost! I was over 400 days when a camping trip with no service put me back to 0. It was worth it!!!! That being said, I do log daily and my diary is open. 90 lbs to go. Always open to new friends and I try to…

I’ve lost 146 and my original goal was to lose 200. I’ve changed my goal to 230. So I’ve got almost 100 more to go! Sometimes it feels like a blink of an eye, sometimes it feels like forever. Got to stay focused, motivated, determined and strong. Weekends are a weak point for me but I try to balance the extra calories with…

Hi, I’m 41 and Mom of two (20 and 17). I’ve lost over 140 but still have 90 to go! Active on MFP daily and my diary is open. Let’s connect and support each other! 👍🏻

Hi, Im a mom of 2, age 41 - 5’9” tall. Have lost 146 lbs and working on losing 90 more. I’m not on any crazy plan, just calorie deficit and eating as clean as I can - avoiding sugar, bread, pasta, fast food. Feel free to send a friend request. I’m on here daily and my diary is open - good and bad choices for all to see.

To finish answering all... My weight loss is very important to me. The most important thing to me in terms of what I want for myself. I was so depressed and hopeless before this change. I will not be gaining any of it back. I never plan to stop tracking every morsel of food I put in my mouth. I’ve given up some stuff but…

Yes I lost 12 lbs in August and around 10 each month before that. Ive been losing around 10 a month for over a year and a half. Focusing on being active (mostly walking my dog), eating clean and in calorie deficit. I started out quiting alcohol 100% but after I lost my first 100 I started allowing myself to have an…

Thank you so much everyone for all the support. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 Things are going well. I’ve continued to lose approx 10 pounds per month. I’m getting stronger and so being more and more active is happening naturally. Acquaintances, neighbors, coworkers are all starting to come right out and say - wow you’ve lost so much…

Amazing!!!! Thank you for sharing. I am not anywhere close to my goal weight yet but have lost 100 and other people tell me how much smaller I am but I don’t see it / feel it / believe it most of the time... so I totally get you. My current opinion is that the mental shift of truly seeing yourself as a “normal size” could…

Thank you so much for the lovely comments and support!!!

Way to go Kelley! I was also living in denial for far too long but finally committed to logging my intake 1 year ago and I've lost almost 100 in that time. Doesn't it feel great? Hello freedom!

Just hit my 1 year log in streak today so thought I'd share the change in my face after 100 lbs lost. I still have 100 lbs to lose so hope to see more change next April. All of the posts on here are awesome to see! Way to go everyone!

What a journey you have been on! This is a great reminder that losing the weight is only half the battle. We also have to work on resolving the root cause, the food addiction. I’m on my first ever weight loss journey and am approaching both my 365 day streak on MFP and 100 lbs lost. I have another 100 to go. I also have a…

Hi Natalie, welcome back. I sent you a request.

I am working on my first 100 lbs (90 down in almost a year) and then will move to my next 100 lb goal. It’s a long slow journey isn’t it? My diary is open and I try to support all my MFP friends. Please feel free to add me if anyone sees this? I kind of feel like I’m late to the party on this thread. But I can relate so…

Thanks for sharing this! So good to understand a little more about what is happening as we lose weight. I’ve been feeling the “hmm is this working?” vibes lately since I don’t feel smaller and some days I feel like I’ve gained but the number on the scale is declining - although not steadily. Living in fear of the unknown…

Hi everyone! I’m a at stage 40 with a birthday looming next month! Ahhhh! Feel free to add me. I log in daily and I’ve lost 80 lbs with still a long way to go.

Hey there, I sent you a friend request. I’m on a similar journey but started with a lot more to lose and I’m on day 280ish... 75 lbs down still over 100 to go. Hope we can connect. All the best to you on your journey!

Hi everyone, hope you are all killing it! I wanted to log my current weight which is 358 so I’m 22 pounds down since joining this challenge! I had a bad month this last month only losing 3.5 pounds and I know exactly why. Self sabotage is my toughest challenge so far. Keep up the great work!

Hi everyone, hope you are all doing good. I've connected with some of you and sent invites to most that I've seen posting. Please feel free to add me. I have to lose at least 200 pounds from my starting weight but 100 is my first goal and I'm 38 pounds down!!! It took me a long time to finally put all the great advice and…

Hi, my name is Sara and when I started in Jan 2017 I was 410 - my highest weight. It took me a while to get the hang of things but I feel like it's finally clicked for me. I've lost 37ish pounds and I'm feeling way better and able to walk without pain so am trying to build back up to some sort of activity level! That's my…

Can I join late? CW: 380 I started at 410 (yikes) and I'm hoping to leave the 300s behind by the summer of 2018 so ya, 25 lbs down by New Years 2018 is definitely a challenge I want to crush!!!!! Let'a do it!

Hi, my name is Sara and I have been using MFP for just over a year but it finally clicked for me about 4 months ago and I am finally seeing my weight go down which feels amazing! I am doing this slow and steady and I have a very long road since my first goal is to lose 100 pounds... and when I reach that goal I expect my…

Hi everyone, I am a Canadian living in the Greater Vancouver area and am working to get rid of 100 pounds as my initial goal. I've been using this app for over six months but feel like it has finally become a habit for me only in the last two months so I'm looking forward to seeing more progress as I hold myself…
