I am pretty much in the same boat. I lost a lot and I mean a lot of weight reaching my goal 3 years ago. Fast forward for me is not the pandemic but, getting pregnant in 2021.

I have lost over 85lbs so most to nearly all of my cloths don't fit even some I bought as I was losing weight. I have donated a small handful of cloths that were just beyond ridiculously big such as, a 2x when i am now a medium to large size. Now with the rest of my cloths a part of not getting rid of them is disbelief…

Congrats to all seeing some…

Hello Everyone! I am 5'4 and I began my weight loss journey 6 months ago when I was diagnosed with diabetes. Sadly, it took me developing diabetes to finally lose the weight I had been wanting to lose for the last two years. I have lost a total of 55lbs. So, I was at 225lbs and I am now at 170lbs! My goal is 140lbs. I am…

It would be good to have a few more friends. I just started my weight loss journey 2 months ago. This is more of a need for a forever lifestyle change so I worry I will fall off track.

I originally had the same goal. Although, I have about 64lbs left to go. Low-carb and less portions is how I am doing it.

My realization/event/and turn around point was finding out I had diabetes. Then I thought I had been wanting to lose weight for the last 2 years anyway but, had no energy to do it until I was given that recent diagnosis. Hearing I had diabetes made me think twice about my life and really want to change it with better…

I noticed a few if us needing to lose that big 100lbs. I started out needing to do that but, now i have 65lbs left to go. Lifestyle change for me due to some health problems.

Hello @jfriona6204 I am 5'4 and currently at 205lbs so we are very close in our progress! That's cool! I am new to the MFP app and hadn't heard of it before two weeks ago so I sadly don't know if it will sync to the blood meters automatically. So far, I just noticed that it syncs with fitbit and walking meters. You can…
