I assume you didn't like that I axed you as a friend after you posted endlessly about your husband, who happens to have the same disease that I am dealing with. I am pretty busy with my own pain and suffering and while I know there are many others like me, I prefer to look forward and keep an upbeat and positive outlook…

No, it doesn't. You try to make me look bad, by posting only what she wrote. You decided to ignore my answer and explanation to her, and you decide to use only half of the facts to judge a stranger. Social media at its best and worst. This is what I answered and you decided to overlook: I remember. Your 'openness and the…

I am so glad I posted this. Besides some really bad and wrong assumptions about me as a person, I learned a lot. Thank you for all the inspirational and motivational answers. My little space on MyFitnessPal will be as superficial or as helpful as I will allow it to be. Who knew, I can adjust settings? I have opened my…

I have never been in the subforums, but I imagine that many who have reached their goal weight are just staying here because of the small talks and the connections they have made. As for interaction with friends on your feed. I have no idea, I am trying to figure out how to make this space 'my space' myself. As for the…

[quote="paperpudding;c-46199205" Your OP comes across as everyone else is doing it wrong - maybe you didnt mean that and I am misinterpreting it I dont think you are too determined or too serious - but you do sound too critical of the way others interact and you do seem to have the unrealistic expectation that everyone…

[/quote] I tried to be your friend and you were not interested in my journey on MFP….I thought losing 110 lbs myself might help and inspire you…I am 70 years old….this was and is not a game to me….I had almost completely given up on living….my entire life has changed….I have an open diary and I am honest….this journey is…

[/quote] You & I are MFP friends, my diary is open to friends (you'd be welcome to snoop if I'd only log: not consistently doing so recently) . . . your diary is not open to friends. Did you realize that? [/quote] Nope, thank you. Not sure how it happened I haven't changed anything in settings. I thought all diaries were…

I can now see that my expectation of 'an army of friends' here at MyFitnessPal might be a bit far stretched. I thought being 'friends' at a fitness board might work like the biggest loser team. Something like in the morning sharing MyFitnessPlan and in the evening admitting that it didn't all go as planned. I want to learn…

I haven't been in the forum much, other than the success stories. I was talking about my 'MFP friends; and my newsfeed. I should have made it clear, my bad.

Like new clothes hopefully and shoes :wink:

I am just become a vegan, due to health issues and I would love to be friends with someone who could help me with my new lifestyle.

Welcome back. I signed up at MyFitnesspal because I have RA and I have a lot of weight to lose. I want to be the healthiest version of myself.

I have a lot to lose and it's alright. I have to get healthier, if I concentrate on it, weight loss will be inevitable and just a side effect.

So far I have gotten all my recipes online from blogs like "Oh she glows" or Vegan blogs, also blogs that offer recipes that are gluten-free and dairy-free. If I don't have time to cook, I think I will eat a salad with either Balsamic dressing (not store-bought) or dairy-free ranch dressing. Veggie Tray? On the road...no…

I am not disabled -yet and refuse to even think in this direction. I work 40+ full and try to function as normally as possible. The truth is I don't know if it's RA or being overweight by almost 200 pounds, what makes everything so much harder. I appreciate you thinking of me.

There is a 100 club? Is there a 175 club too? Being sober for 7 days is great. You rock! I gave up smoking 7 years ago, drinking 5 years ago. I quit being bulimic 2 years ago (gained weight like crazy). Now I am on my last mission and then I am perfect. :-) Eight pounds down. 3-day streak. I am unstoppable :wink: Stay…

Thank you for the smile. I have 10 times more to lose, so I won't even bother sending you a friend request. Just know this huge whale is routing for you (and me.) I don't know if I will even be able to work out. I have some health issues. All the best!

First of all, I hope the surgery did the trick and you and your doctors kicked cancer to the curb. Day #3 on MyFitnessPal and almost ten days living a different life, focusing on the right fuel for my body. Eight pounds lighter as of yesterday. It's going to be a gradual change and weight loss will be only a side effect.…

We supported the restaurants in our neighborhood. Spent too much money having food delivered -not the good kind. I gained a lot. I was already big before COVID-19, now I am huge. I am down 8 pounds with 170 more to go. It feels different this time. I am ready I can feel it. There is no sadness about what I have to let go…

I needed that today more than you will ever know. Day 3 at MFP and strong again. Thanks

I am not from Canada, but I like Maple Syrup (too much) I signed up yesterday at MyFitnessPal but started 10 days ago. I have a ton to lose, including pandemic weight.

I know what you mean :-)

Day 1 here but started six days ago. All the best to both of us.
