  • I recently returned to MFP because of two reasons. It seems to have the most comprehensive database of foods for logging and the newsfeed feature helps me to feel motivated by cheering on friends and vice versa. Realizing that I came back just in time for the newsfeed to be removed feels pretty damn bad. The forums…
  • Welcome, Sarah! Oh man. I can totally relate to picking up illnesses in the workplace. I'm in a library so a bit of a similar situation.

  • Ugh, I got a comment like that from a coworker a few years back! While it's great to make healthy choices, I wouldn't beat yourself up too much. I think a lot of women have gotten similar comments no matter what our weights are. Think of tabloid speculations over which celebrities might be pregnant! Just want to make you…
  • Hi there - I'm recently returned and my first goal is to lose 40 lbs. I'm 39 years old, Canadian/American, and looking for other users (preferably other women) to encourage each other and relate in our weight loss goals! I work in a library so if nothing else - I'm happy to provide book recommendations! I'm a pretty active…
  • Hi and welcome! I'm a long time user of the app but recently returned. Also looking for encouragement/accountability buddies! I'll toss you an add. :)

  • Hi Schay! I've tried other tracking apps, but I keep coming back to MFP because it has the largest database of foods out of all of them. The other ones just don't compare. Love your gym outfit! I think I need to up my game. :D Sending you a follow.
  • Hi Lisa! This is one of my many times back around as well! I'm not sure if there's anything wrong with night time snacks so long as you've made room for them in your day. I think popcorn, fruits, vegetables, or even a handful of Sunchips might be able to curve the craving without sending you spiraling the next day. Best of…
  • I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your partner. That must be really difficult to deal with and feeling bad about your weight can't help. Lots of life changes, hey? Looks like you're making some positive decisions though and navigating this new path in your life in an admirable way. Sending all the well wishes on your…
  • Hi everyone! Glad to be here. My current weight is 220.6 and my weigh ins are on Mondays. I started my current weight loss journey at 226 lbs back in September so I'm making progress - but slowly. (October was a very undisciplined month for me where I gained 3 lbs back.) Hopefully this new challenge group will help me to…

  • Hi everyone! Hope I'm not posting twice because my last post got deleted. I'm 35 and from Washington, USA. I moved here two years ago from Vancouver, Canada and put on a bunch of weight due to a new lifestyle involving ways too much takeout, pop, and general overindulgence! I'm looking forward to getting back on track…
