Awesome job! Hoping I can lose weight one day too! Keep it up!

Does being in a British colony count? 😂 JK, but if you ever want a Canadian pal feel free to add me. 👍🏻

I was totally the same, it took me forever to start. Here is my advice! 1) Set a goal. Whether it is fitting into those pants or losing 10 lbs, find somewhere to start. If you can't measure progress somehow, you will be more likely to give up. 2) Just start counting calories. Don't even worry about changing your eating…

Yes, I agree with those above. I'm a recovered anorexic who was underweight almost my whole life. I've binged and attempted to purge (I literally have no gag reflex) for many years as well, and then went back into starvation mode. I've been going to therapy and going to an eating disorder clinic where I see a psychiatrist…

It's a bit of both. I used to intuitively eat, but I was underweight. This can happen to people who overeat intuitively as well. Our bodies tend to get used to the amount they get fed, healthy or not. It's a mix of doing what is right for your body, but also what is needed to be healthy. I would say to try to eat when you…

Planning to fit back in my favourite skirt! It already fit a bit better today, so I'm on the right track!

Feel free to add me! 🙂 Always looking for new pals too.

Good for you! And don't sweat it, we've all gained a bit of weight. I'm currently trying to lose 20-30 lbs but haven't noticed any changes so far, hopefully I'll slim down soon! I was at a stable weight for years and then it just skyrocketed. Hopefully I can lose this and then stay there!

Hey same here! Looking to lose about 20 lbs. I'm always down for more MFP friends. We've got this!

I get ya, I'm starting again too! I'm always down for more MPF friends. 🙂

I've gained a bunch during lockdown too and am trying to lose it plus some I had before. Feel free to add me if you want a supportive friend!

Sorry to hear that, but hey it's just a little bump in the road, hope it doesn't ruin your day too much! I've been wanting to weigh myself but my family refuses to buy scales and it been bothering me since I can't do it at the fitness centre I work at now (closed with covid). Hoping I will be in for a positive surprise…

I get you! I'm a sweets gal and really struggled the first week to find things that worked. Here are my suggestions! a) If you are trying to eat fruit like you mentioned but struggle to have a decent amount, try smoothies! I like fruit, but will probably have a little bit and still be hungry later. But with a smoothie I…

I'm thankful to be getting my life a bit back on track. Focused on school, meds are working for my mental health, eating better, and doing hobbies again.

Hey there! Sorry to hear you are having a rough time, I too had a big cry session before start MFP again and deciding enough was enough! Feel free to add me, I'm always happy to support people on their journey!

A couple things did, I was unhappy with my weight gain for a long time but what really kicked my butt to actually put the work in was not fitting in my favourite skirts. I love my clothing and my skirts are typically bought from unique little shops, there is no going back to buy a bigger size. I was distrot and decided…

Today my trauma is on my mind. PTSD never really leaves you. It's always in the back of my thoughts.

Feel free to add me! Always looking to help support! 🙂❤️

Honestly, nothing! I'm surprisingly not craving anything at the moment (I did have a big supper) but that's a good thing! I used to literally crave stuff 24/7, now I'm working to limit my calories and food in moderation. When I am craving a good treat I tend to want a skillet cookie! Mmmm!

Hi there, Don't be too hard on yourself, as someone who has recovered from an eating disorder as well you should be proud of where you are today! To be honest I'm not a BMI expert, I still go to my psychiatrist at the eating disorder clinic and she used BMI to see if I was healthy, so I assume that in most cases it is…

I used to practically look like a model before I gained weight (with a bit of makeup, haha) and I want to get back to that version of my self. Fit in my cute clothes again and turn some heads, lol!

Feel free to add me! I'm always down for some weight loss buds!

Omg, that's insane! This is why it is actually so important to track calories for weight loss. So many fad "diet" foods are super high in calories. I always check the nutrition label before trying out a new product (although I realize you probably couldn't see it online and such) because of that fact. Hopefully you can…

Hi all! Sorry about the "starvation mode" confusion. By this I mean when one is depriving their body of food (not eating healthy, but actually nearly starving your body to lose weight), at least I have personally found, you not only crave food a ton but when you go back to eating "normally" your body wants to quickly gain…

I've just started again and have been on track for a bit! Here's what I find helps! a) Have a goal. Whether it's to lift a certain amount, get to a certain weight, or to fit into a pair of pants, having a goal and a date you want to complete it is a good start. b) Be easy on yourself. I used to want to give up after I…

Welcome! Feel free to add me, we've got this!

Welcome! Congratulations with your success so far, I'm a serial starter but determined to get it right this time! Feel free to add me!

Feel free to add me!

Secret life of pets, it wasn't too bad actually!

Congratulations! You've got this!
