Im 5"2' and lost about 20 lbs on MFP a few years back. I'm maintaining well but still don't have the healthiest habits when it comes to food - I stress eat and need me sugar/carb fixes so I'm back on MFP to try to change my ways and kick up my energy and enthusiasm for life. Please add me, I would love to have others to…

2016 was a cruel year for me too. Not looking to lose weight per se but looking to add structure and accountability to my days to help improve my mental health. Please add me!

Hi everyone also starting again. 33 f living in Philadelphia. Lost 27 pounds in MFP 2 years ago, looking to tone up and relose the 7 lbs I've gained back. If you log every day please add me!

I vote Tessa :) Super cute.

This is awesome! I hated running as well and I'm running my first 5K tomorrow :) Keep it up!

Yes! I didn't even think about how to pin my number or to make sure that it wasn't uncomfortable when running/moving. Great tip!

Oh good God... your PSSS. :) Will heed your advice and attempt to erase this image from my mind!

Ok, so try to hit my 8 glass goals in the days before?

This is why I love this site! Thank you all! I really appreciate it. What I'm getting from your comments: 1) run light and easy today, rest tomorrow 2) don't drink a lot of water before hand, drink as I run 3) no carbo loading the night before (wasn't planning to :)) 4) eat a light breakfast, preferably something w/…

They have an olive loaf bread that I absolute love. Also, their pre-marinated salmon is pretty yummy too! I also indulge in dark chocolate from there. They have a great selection of quality chocolate bars :)

Huge difference! Congrats! Keep up the good work.

I am an avid coffee drinker as well. Can't go a day without my Nespresso in the morning! I also cut out sugar. At first I thought I couldn't drink it w/o then slowly I got used to it and now I even enjoy it! I drink my coffee with a 1/3 cup of 1% milk. I find that it gives me a great "latte" flavor without the fat of cream.

This is awesome. Congratulations!!!

I gained most of my Freshman 15 eating the endless buffet of desserts in the dining halls. My only advice is... stay away! :) It's also really easy to stay active in college, with "free" gyms and intramural sports. Keep these options in mind, they may be great stress relievers too.

I really like the program! On week 5 right now. If you're going to run in a gym, it helps to download a C25K app so that you're not watching the seconds tick by on a treadmill :). I've stuck to the program past week one. I like that it builds you up slowly. Especially if you're realllly starting from scratch, following the…

I feel like it's an awkward thing at times to talk about someone else's weight, even if the results are positive. Perhaps your friends feel the same way?

Add me as well!! (goes for anyone). I need to motivation and encouragement as well. Down 11 since beginning of July :). Generally eat healthy and try to do moderate exercise 3-4 times a week.

I like them, especially the chipotle flavor but I can't get away from the feeling that I'm eating 'fake' cheese every time I have it. It's kind of like low-cal ice cream. I'd just rather have the real thing and plan for it, or exercise it off!

I would suggest finding ways to spend time with your friends away from a bar! If that is at all feasible among your group ;)

Haha, I just checked...pretty close!

Hannah I should know your age since you're a connection of mine, but since I don't I'll play...26?

Hi Dianna, sure! Feel free to add me :)

I had a salad as well, with red onions, yellow cherry tomatoes from Trader Joes and Kalamata Olives. I had a small piece of steak with it as well. Really enjoyed it. I think it's funny that I used to hate eating "cold food" for lunch, including salads. Now I love them :) I'd actually be OK eating a yummy flavorful salad…

Hi all, thanks for the adds! I'm overwhelmed with them already. I should say that my preference is for buddies with their diaries open. I find that this kind of connection helps me more! Best of luck to you all.

Yes please! I wish I would have know about MFP when I was gearing up to our wedding. I am sure my efforts to drop a few pounds before would have been a lot more successful! Congrats on your upcoming big day!

This is really awesome! Very happy for you!

Hi all, I am also new. Please add me :) I am looking for ideas and inspiration!
