Losing weight is extremely beneficial to your physical health, but it isn't the answer to mental issues like anxiety, depression, and self image/low self esteem issues. Some things do change for the better, mentally, like not feeling judged when you go out anywhere. But some of those issues will still persist. Some people…

Yes

nope

Very cute

Smart and well dressed

Nope

I think by now with how you set up your profile, MFP has your daily calorie count in order to lose weight (and you can choose to lose 1 lb - 2lb per week). My first month, I just started off slow. I made some modifications to my habits, but nothing to extreme. I reduced my soda intake to one can per meal, instead of just…

My name is Ivan, I'm 22, and I have 100 pounds left to lose. I'll get to my goal, and try my best to support and motivate you to get to yours :smile:

I'll send a friend request. Always helps when people around you are supportive and consistent.

I kind of went through a similar experience as you did, so I feel you on that. Went the route of exercising the first month without changing much in my nutrition. The next month, I found out just how important calorie counts were and how it helped a lot with weight loss compared to only exercising. Either way, let's get it…

A bit embarrassing, but I really need to get this off my chest. The only reason I started my weight loss journey was because I had a flirt thing going on with a girl, but then I found out it was just a joke from her perspective. Sucked a lot. I've been a big dude my whole life and I got my first glimpse and feel for being…

Alright we're on that. I've lost 70 pounds with the power of CICO and have 100 left to lose. I'll send a request and I'll chime in where I can with motivation and support.

I've lost 70 pounds so far (100 more Lbs left to go) and there's a huge change in my mood, attitude, and everything. I'll send a request and try to help with motivation (I kind of suck at motivation though) and support. I also have some tips that helped me start and sustain this weight loss and I'm willing to share some if…

I honestly don't know. But I'll try my best to forget this post if you'd like.

Hey Justine, I have 100 pounds left to lose, I don't know how much that is in kilograms, but I assume it's pretty high. Other than that, let's get to winning by losing. Losing weight that is.

Yeah this happens if you put an emoji. I learned the hard way *crying emoji*.

Hey what's up. I'll definitely send a request to help with your weight loss journey. But I think you shouldn't do a water fast. Don't get me wrong, you'll lose the weight, but it won't be sustainable for long and you might risk getting into a rebound after the fast and gain more weight. I've lost 70 pounds so far (started…

Hey Bre, So I kind of suck at motivating others, but I am a bit active. I'll send a request and I'll try to help where I can with tips or general support. Other than that, seeing others succeed helps me out quite a bit.

I'll definitely send a request. Seeing other people stay consistent helps me a lot

I'm 22. I've lost 70 pounds so far, and I'm losing the next 100. I'm not exactly the best at motivating others, but seeing other people stay consistent on this app helps me quite a bit.

Apparently it's gonna be 30-40 degrees next week. Getting ready to just use a light hoodie instead of putting on multiple layers lol

I'm from the southside of Chicago. Currently freezing. Not stopping my efforts though

I definitely feel you on the criticism part. I'll send a friend request.

Yeah that sounds good! I'll send the request

It was about 2-3 times a week that I would eat until I felt that way. More often than not I would drink a water bottle after a meal if I still didn't feel full after a homemade meal and then I would feel fine.

I see your criticisms and see your perspective on this and I appreciate and understand them. But I have struggled with weight and hunger throughout my life. And it was a lack of discipline that led to my current obesity. Of course, undereating won't be the permanent or long term solution to losing weight. I see phentermine…

Just wanted to clarify that I'm male, so I won't necessarily get those sensations other than probably hunger. In terms of hunger, while I did struggle with that and led me to balloon up, it was always my poor eating habits of eating out instead of eating homemade. I would eat until I felt stuffed. Like throwing up stuffed.

Yeah in terms of calorie intake i began following CICO when i went on Reddit and found the r/Loseit community. Home made cooking is way more filling and low calorie compared to eating out as you dictate what ingredients you use. I'm gonna take a bit more time until I start tracking micronutrients. In terms of cheat days I…

Hello, First, congratulations on the weight loss! I just started a month ago and have been only checking things such as my daily nutrition. Just yesterday did I finally explore the community tab and whatnot. I'm looking for some friends that are in the same journey.

Yeah I know that eating out can still result in losing weight if you count the calories. But 2 homemade eggs and a cup of hashbrown (both cooked with no oil, just the Pam nonstick spray thing) is much more filling and has less calories than one McDonald's sausage biscuit. Don't get me wrong though, sometimes I still eat…
