The app should calculate it for you based on your starting weight, goal weight, and activity level. :)

Sometimes you find it. Sometimes it finds you. You don't have to want something to start your journey. You just have to want to want it. Don't ever give up on yourself. :)

I can relate to a lot of this. It sounds like you need support. I literally have zero friends, like haven't "hungout" with anyone in years. I have found a lot of support through MFP. I added you. The truth is, you won't get very far with much of anything if you don't care about yourself. You have to find a reason to be. It…

Not sure why my comment cut off. Anyway, I started small (15 minutes 3x a day on a stationary bike). I was just peddling basically but I was exhausted. I got easier after just a few days. I make a conscious effort now to park a little farther, use stairs instead of elevators, and get in at least 45 minutes of exercise a…

Yes! I just started on July 2nd. I have lost a lot of weight twice before, but gained it all back both times. I never used exercise to lose weight. In fact, I hadn't really done much physical activity in almost 10 years. I would even go to the extent to pay for parking on my campus so I wouldn't have to walk far, even…

I added you.

I know the logical and research based responses don't help much with social anxiety, which can be absolutely debilitating, so I will keep it short! Counseling is a great start, and it really comes down to pushing your boundaries. Start small! Really small. We tend to externalize our mental health issues and attribute them…

I feel you. I have lost 50lbs+ twice in the past 5 years and gained it all back (plus some) both times. I am now one week into my latest weight loss journey. It sucks. It is really difficult. I wear the same clothes everyday, constantly feel judged, and felt so much shame when I put all the weight back on. I feel like my…

I don't know if this is the case for you, but I know for myself that I didn't really know what hunger was. I hadn't felt it in so long. I think when we overeat for long periods of time we begin to "feel hungry" when we really aren't. Like I said, I don't know if this applies to you but you may want to really force yourself…

I have absolutely experienced this! Changing your eating and exercise habits isn't easy. I've found myself most successful when I plan what I am going to eat before I eat it. Also, include some form of exercise, even if it's small. You will be less likely to eat bad stuff for fear of "wasting" the time and effort you put…

Welcome! I was diagnosed with OCPD. Doesn't come with the symptoms of bipolar by any means, but definitely makes a lot of things more challenging. I am highly anxious and a creature of habit and routine. This helps me in a lot of areas of life, but when I hit a low... It's really low. I struggled with drinking, lost my…

You look awesome!!!

Thanks for your responses! I am the same with the needing to feel absolutely stuffed. I really need to work on that lol. Just curious, is your weight loss story posted anywhere on MFP?

Added you. :) I am 25.

Thank you! That's so true. I have a tough time going day by day. I am constantly looking back. Thanks for the reply!
