Congratulations!

Hey you, I'm sorry I can't remember your name. But thank you for saving my life.

Hey there, I'm a total comfort food eater too! Between my depression, anxiety, and PTSD I'm always turning to sweets to feel better. Snacks are my downfall. I've gotten a lot better recently, so here is my advice!: a) Moderation. I'm a cookie fanatic, and can legit eat 16 a day not realizing. Telling myself "I'll only have…

It's alright! I do my best to keep positive and to keep my mind off my worries or woes. My PTSD has gotten a lot better in the past few months so I'm happy about that, it's making my life a lot easier!

Hey there, Former Bulimic/Anorexic here! Looking to lose some weight the healthy way for once. I've been skinny my whole life, which was fine when I was a kid but I basically never let myself grow into my adult body. I'm about 5'6 and a half, my weight was usually around 110, 103 at my lowest. I used to use MFP to fuel my…

Hey there! I'm no health expert, but I'll add my two cents anyways. It's not the worst thing in the world, I'm a huge carb eater too. Just know that carbs typically aren't the most filling, protein is better for that. As well, sugary carbs tend to lead us to want even more sugary carbs (sugar has this evil ability).…

Hey there! First of all I totally get ya. I was the skinny girl my whole life but the weight packed on these past few years. I'm also losing weight the healthy way now, I starved many times but realize this is what is good for my body and what I need. Feel free to add me!

I'm always down for more, feel free to add me!

I'm your stereotypical "girly blonde" who wears makeup, dresses and matching earrings on the daily. I don't actually wear the same outfit twice in a university semester if I can avoid it (this is so I can make sure to wear all that I own and not stick to the same t-shirts every week). However I'm a total dnd nerd, which…

A guys hair... Dunno why but damn when they have a cute fluffy mop I get weak in the knees.

Hey there, I totally get ya. As someone who dealt with depression, suicide attempts, PTSD, eating disorders, and anxiety I totally understand feeling hopeless about things. Firstly, I would say do your best to deal with the depression. When you are sad and hate yourself, it feels impossible and is super hard to eat right.…

I eat the same breakfast everyday (have my whole life), so that is the one meal I'm generally okay with. I have plain cheerios in skim milk, sometimes if I have woken up earlier that day I'll have a snack like a graham pecan muffin.

Hi there, Welcome! Feel free to add me! I used to be an avid fitness pal user until I stopped about last year (and gained a bunch of weight). I'm back and looking for friendly support too!

Tofu... It looks weird...

I ate the same fruit salad every day for 6 months and now I can't look at them...

I get it, I feel that way a lot too. I've made it through my eating disorder, but still struggle with my depression. I have ptsd as well from a suicide attempt, which isn't too bad now that I have medication. With covid I feel extra lonely and sad these days. I don't have a partner, and don't necessarily want one, but I…

I try to just keep a water bottle on me all the time. Leave it on your desk or by your bed, wherever you spend your time. I end up sipping it without even realizing it!

Hey there! I'm not a busy mom, but I have been on fitness pal for a while and am a busy uni student. My advice is try to log if you can. The world won't end if you don't, but I find you don't really realize how much you are eating until you log it, especially if you are just starting off. It's hard to keep on top of it, I…

Lol you know you are a nerd when you think of dungeon master as the DM acronym. 😄 I need to find more hobbies.

Hey there, feel free to add me! I'm similar, not a dieter but I tend to either eat 6000 calories or 1000 calories, so I get what it's like to be bouncing in and out of the weight loss loop. Hoping to lose about 20 lbs and to not regain it.

One thing I learned in life is that being real with your feelings saves so much time and hassle. Just tell her how you feel about it all, just like you told us. Say something like "Hey, you are such a great friend to me, and I do appreciate your accomplishments, however sometimes it makes me feel bad about myself and…

Guys, What kind of body type do you like for women? I'm always curious. Obviously I would never change for a man but I do wonder what they prefer.

Toxic is horrible, so I would go with doormat and do my best to work with him on it. I've been a doormat before, so I get it. I feel like toxic people want to hurt other for what's best for themselves, and doormats do what is best for others at risk of making themselves unhappy. I would rather someone too selfless than…

Hey all, I'm 21 and looking to lose about 20 lbs. Feel free to add me! We've got this!

Depends on who is doing the promoting and who they are promoting it to. Some people really need to lose weight, and some people need to gain weight. If your doctor is telling you to lose weight, then this promotion is useful. Excess weight can increase risk to cancers, diabetes, joint pain, and other health problems. If it…

I don't think daily weigh-ins are the best. I've dealt with eating disorders before and it was the scale that broke me. Sure, once a day doesn't seem to bad, but it easily turns into twice a day, then before you know it six times a day. I realize that some people don't get obsessed over it, so it does depend on the person.…

It depends on the person and lifestyle, as well as what your shower habits are. I have oily hair, and need to shower (with shampoo and conditioner) daily, or else I look hella greasy. People always tell me that this isn't a good idea, but a) I have very healthy hair down to my waist, these habits aren't making it die and…

Hey there, I totally get you. I've gained a bunch and I'm working on losing it myself. My advice is- start slow, and do what works for you. If you jump right into cutting your cals in half, doing exercise daily, going from 10 cookies a day to salads, you are likely to fail (at least that's my experience with fitness pal…

Thanks for the tip! Yes that's true, I have definetly tried to lose to quiclkly in the past and have gained quickly as a result (legit gained 14 pounds in 2.5 weeks once). Because of covid I'm not seeing anyone, so the pressure to look good and fit in pants again isn't too high. I'll try to take it easy and hopefully the…

Thanks for the info guys! Perhaps I should just try to lose one pound a week then, I guess I'm just impatient, haha! I'll try to add some protein in.
