MFP has helped me immensely, having friends who keep one accountable is good but losing weight can be a bumpy road with plateaus, emotional issues, etc. and friends also help with those. In 2017, I lost 31 lbs. and later that year I decided to take a year off (although I checked in several times a week as I love my MFP…

Bless you Hon, so glad the prognosis is decent! I have episodic pancreatitis so I know the pain and how it can be hard to gain weight . I had gained weight from a medicine, lost 31 lbs. in 2017. I took a year off to deal with my husband's sudden death, selling a house then buying one and was just coming back (although I…

Add me if you'd like, I lost 31 lbs. then kind of took a year off to deal with my husband's passing, selling a house and moving. I was just logging again (well, actually, I posted weekly hellos to my friends and tried to be supportive when online) when I got hit with the diagnosis of a blockage in one of my coronary…

This isn't baking but sorbets, gelatins, applesauce (with cinnamon) and popsicles are dessert options. I have episodic pancreatitis from autoimmune problems so I always keep these on hand "just in case" I have a flare plus they can be eaten while healthy to prevent a flare. Blessings and I pray you have complete healing…

George...I am proud to call you a friend and an inspiration!! This post will touch many people...so many of us hide the way we feel, hate the way we look, feel we don't deserve happiness. We are out own worst critics!! We need self love before we can turn things around (it is a process) and we DO deserve happiness. You…

Okay well I'm beyond 40 but know MFP works as I lost weight in 2012 and kept it off only to gain it back due to a medication I had to take. Due to health issues and fibromyalgia, I can't do the intense workouts like Insanity (wish I could) but I've done well with walking and exercise DVDs (I especially love dance). I love…

Well done and very inspirational!! Sending a friend request :)

Wow...shingles is bad, glad to hear you are on the mend. I'm coming off a bacterial infection but after healthy 2 weeks my doctor wants me to get the vaccine (doesn't prevent shingles but they are not as bad if you get them). Sending a friend request :)

Hi...I'm Joy from California. It is my second time here, in 2012 I lost 20+ lbs. and kept it off quite a few years until I had to take a medication and gained it back plus some. It has been a rough year for me, feel free to read my profile, but I am determined to stay focused on health and exercise. I have some great…

Hi All...This is my second time around also. I lost 20 lbs. in 2012, kept it off 4 years but gained it back plus some due to a medication I had to take. I've got some great friends on here but we can never have too many friends :) I'm Joy from California, I'm a nurse (not working right now ). I love having fun but also…

Feel free to add me, MFP works as I lost weight in 2012 but put it on due to a medication. It is more fun with friends and you can also learn a lot from them :) Blessings...Joy

Hi...I m back on MFP,I lost 20 lbs. in 2012 but regained it due to a medication. MFP does work and friends do help. I have a great group of MFP friends who are honest, motivational and fun. It really helps to learn the calories in foods and also portion sizes. I eat everything but in moderation and checking portions, I…

I'm back for a second time after regaining my weight due to a medication. I have a great new group of friends who share, motivate and are fun. Feel free to add me. And I agree...don't push too hard and reinjure yourself. You can concentrate on the eating healthy while healing (I have some health problems and when I have to…

Hi...I'm back for a second time again, too. I lost 20 lbs. on here in 2012, kept it off, but 2 long courses of prednisone put it back on. You've done it before and can do it again! I'm sending a friend request!! Blessings...Joy

Feel free to add me, I'm back for a second time as I lost 20 lbs. here in 2012 and kept it off until I had to take a medication. I'm sorry you've had such a bad year, that is a lot in a short time. My year has been difficult, I lost my hubby of 32 years suddenly on January 5th. I had restarted MFP on January 1st but took…

Dave and Melanie...Feel free to add me, I'm trying to lose 20+ lbs., 2nd time around as I lost 20 lbs. here in 2012 and kept it off till I had to take a medication. It really helps to have honest and supportive friends on this journey. Blessings....Joy

It is never too late!! I joined MFP in 2012, I was 58, and had gained weight due to cellulitis in my feet and legs (that started in 2008). With MFP and exercise I lost 20 lbs. and felt like a new person. Unfortunately, I had to take prednisone for asthma and gained it all back plus some. So I'm here again, 10+ days and I…

I'm glad the surgery went well and you are on the road to recovery!! I don't have as much weight to lose, 20+ lbs., but I'd gladly be a friend as we walk this journey to a better weight and better health!! I'll send a request. Blessings...Joy :)

Hi RoughCutv2 and RunnerJazz1594...the friend request is different since I was on in 2012 but I figured it out! From this forum, click on a person's profile picture or name. Ignore the "Send a Message" tab and the "Ignore" tab in the box that comes up and click on the photo or name again from the box (you can send a…

Hi Chloe...Welcome to MFP and I agree with Ironandwine69 that you should stop referring to yourself as "fat" or a "whale". Although extra weight doesn't make us feel good, we have to love ourselves from within and know that you CAN do this and it is more fun with friends. I'll send a friend request, I'd love to walk this…
