  • I'm 38 but I love this post and the commenters here. This is definitely not my first rodeo with MFP, but the first time I used it it really worked. I lost 20kg and kept it off for about 3 years. Then I got into a relationship which is AWESOME except I slipped into lazy ways and put on 25kg (I have PCOS and it's very easy…

  • Oh, another thing I used to do is type '300 calorie vegetarian recipe' or something calorie-specific into google. Dunno if that helps if you're searching. Now I'm trying to figure out other recipes as my partner does more cooking than me. Changes can influence our whole routines can't they!

And then put on heaps of weight again, my clothes don't fit and my knee and back hurt constantly. Grrrraaarrrgghh. So starting again on MFP making friends (looking for…

  • I'm up for adoption :blush: I'm female, late 30's Aussie have PCOS and work from home. I've been on here before and the logging and accountability and global motivating friendships lead to me losing 20kg and I kept it off for over 2 years.
