Personally if I give in to cravings it will trigger bingeing on sweets. I do have a few go-to snacks that satisfy me: Chocolate chia pudding (made with unsweetened vanilla almond milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, a drizzle of honey, top with bananas or berries) so good! 1 graham crackers with peanut butter, and a piece of…

Hi there! Feel free to add me, I’m working on losing another 30-40lbs and I’m active on here daily. Would love to have more accountability partners!

I like to use the app “fastic” to track my fasts separate if doing longer, water only fasts. I am currently doing the 16:8 on MFP which is built in nicely and works great while tracking my diet, but Fastic is a great option if you are doing something more intense. I’ve done a 72hr water fast and it gave updates on what is…

Hi there I’m also looking to lose about 40 more lbs. I’m 34yr old full time mom of 5. This app has been amazing so far. I’d love some accountability partners with similar goals. Feel free to add!

I enjoy doing a lot of HIIT exercises. You can look some up on YouTube that can vary from about 10min-1hr and varying in intensity. I really enjoy the 45min outdoor hiit by YouTuber “Bullyjuice”… I was able to keep up almost to the end (but moving slower) when I was completely out of shape and I’m now able to keep up with…

I am not and have never been considered an “athlete” however for the past few months I’ve been very consistent with my training and diet.. MFP definitely makes it a lot easier and I’m started to see much more progress. I’d love to join but lack a lot of the knowledge that I’m sure most athletes on here have.. even if I’m…

Thanks everyone.. all this info is very helpful

Same as a lot of people.. smoking. I only quit 6 months ago and it was HARD. I still crave it. I stopped because my teenage son found them and gave me a serious talk as if he was the parent and it just broke me.

The Community here is great! You got this.

Welcome to MFP! I still can’t figure out how to add people.. otherwise I’d add you! If you figure it out before I do feel free to add me!

I am a premium member. It’s only been a few weeks but so far I love it. I’m still unsure how to add friends! If you figure it out you can add me

There’s no magic drink but I highly recommend just to Replace any sugary drinks with water! I shoot for 1 gallon a day and it made a huge difference.

I like to walk barefoot for “grounding” but I’ve never tried running. Does that not hurt your feet?!

Any sweets. I have zero self control when it comes to sweets! Even if it is something low cal like jello.. the second I eat it I will crave more junk. If I need something sweet now I’ll eat a piece of fruit or something

So inspiring! Great work !

Thank you @Lietchi! This is very helpful!

I have a goal to fit into my size 8 jeans also! I’m currently in a 12. I have a favorite outfit on a hanger and hung up on my closest door so I see what I am working towards every day. I lost 30lbs so far and got so excited when I could pull them up a few inches more over my thighs than I could when I started!

I wish I liked vegetables more! These all looks so good and fancy! I usually stick with simple stuff.. I made cabbage soup this week, I add spinach and broccoli to just about everything. I go through phases where I will eat a lot of Spaghetti squash. I’m more fruit obsessed! Blueberries and bananas are a staple at my…

I’m currently doing a Beachbody program called Liift More— it’s a combination of weight training and hiit exercises. I do that 5x a week and run anywhere between 3-7mi a day depending on the weather and how much time I have. Yesterday was back/triceps/hiit and today is glutes/hamstrings and then walking a 5.5mi loop with…

My 3yr old niece that I’m babysitting today doesn’t know how to say my name “Aunt Kate” and she started calling me “Pancake” and I think it is the cutest thing 😭🤣🥰

To start I want to give a little of my background.. I’m a 34yo mom of 5, and my weight has fluctuated between 128-230lbs over the last 16years(my first pregnancy) after having my first three children I was 230lbs, then got back down to about 140lbs (5year gap) before having the last two children. I’ve always been able to…

Would love some buddies for motivation and accountability! I’m very active and workout and run daily but nutrition has always been my downfall and prevented me from making real progress. (I like food too much 😭😭😭) Mom of 5, trying to lose approx 30-40lbs and get into the best shape of my life!! Feel free to add ☺️
-
I’m a wishful runner.. I can do up to 5mi at a time, but never really attempted more than that! I do run 3-4miles daily.

Use more than one method of measurement. The scale is a good one of course, but that doesn’t capture all progress! Measure and track inches lost, take progress pictures, etc to capture the whole picture. Don’t be discouraged!
