Thanks for sharing! Good for you taking the steps to make positive change. It’s not easy. I’m trying, again, to engage with MFP and track calories. I’m trying a more plant-based diet, which it sounds like your dietitian would be a fan of. I’m doing one of the “plans” within MyFitnessPal hoping for education and…

Thanks for sharing! Best of luck on your journey!

Absolutely! Well said! It’s worth it to take the time to invest in our own health.

Woohoo! Good for you! I’ll send you a friend request. I peaked at 272. Currently 260. Would love to hear more about some of your strategies that have been successful.

Nice! I’ve been looking more into the Food as Medicine movement promoted by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. Check it out!

Right here with you guys. I have 70-80 lbs to lose to be at a healthy weight. Trying to be more plant-based. Less processed meats, less butter and cheese. More beans, greens, and berries. Good luck to you both!

That’s great. Whenever I am able to track my food, it helps me be more mindful of both my portions and the quality of the food I am eating. It can be difficult to build the habit. MyFitnessPal is a good tool. Try to log every time you eat something, or better yet, log even before you eat it.

Thanks for sharing. What I struggle with in my own life is the ability to pause… and wait… when a craving hits. Anybody have any good strategies they use to slow down?

Don’t give up! Are there any exercises you enjoy that don’t involve walking and don’t aggravate your plantar fasciitis?

Agree with stress being a trigger. Consider talking with a counselor or friend and coming up with a plan next time you find yourself in that situation. A healthy snack? A walk outside?

Thanks for posting this to the forum. Is there anybody in your life who has a healthy food that they really enjoy? You guys could have a meal together and they can share why they enjoy it.

Absolutely! We’re better together!

Glad you’re here!

Keep that passion and drive!

Woohoo!

Good for you, taking initiative. Hope you are successful.

Good luck everybody! I’m new, too!
