Hello everyone, I have been using MFP off and on for years. For the last year I’ve lost a few pounds then gained it back. Recently I found the Fast 800. I have been following this for only a few days, but I think it is doable for me. My highest weight was 273. Current weight 227.7 I am 5’2” and 71. I am going on a trip in…

Hi Sandy, I had Graves’ disease and was treated with radioactive iodine when I was young. Now I have an underactive thyroid and take a synthetic thyroid hormone. I have had a weight problem most of my adult life. Easy to gain, difficult to lose. But I keep at it. In the past few years I have lost 50 pounds using MFP and…

I’m interested in making new friends. Hope you are making progress since posting this. I exercise five days a week and I walk. Tried different eating plans. Plant based for a while, but seemed to game it back. Now I am doing Keto and I am losing again. Recently realized I have been using MyFitnessPal for eleven years. Not…

Hi, I will be your friend. I enjoy meeting people from around the world. I live in Los Angeles.

Don't beat yourself up. It is a rare person losing weight who doesn't have some setbacks. You've had a setback and now you are starting fresh. I've lost and gain back several times. This time I am in a very good state of mind and using MFP has really helped me pay attention to what and how much I am eating. . I have a long…

Like you, I have been yo-yoing for years. I didn't really realize just how big I had gotten until I saw some candid photos. It was like a kick in the pants. Now I am serious about losing weight. Using MFP has been very easy. Seeing the nutritional values of what I eat has made me really change my eating habits. I've lost…

Take one day at a time. It takes a little while to learn how to balance your meals and snacks and stay within your calorie allowance. I've learned to do it and if I can do it, you can, too. Remember, you deserve to be healthy and happy!

Are you tracking what you eat? I have found it so easy to track what I eat. This has really helped me to control what and how much food I am consuming. Almost a month as a MFP member and I have lost 10 lbs. You can do it, too. Just start tracking what you eat. Remember, this is a life style change, not a diet. And you…

You can be successful if you really want to be.I'm in the same boat as you, but I am almost old enough to be your grandma. I got on the scale a month ago and was over 270 lbs, my heaviest weight yet. It was a shock! I have lost and regained the same pounds countless times. This time I know I will be successful. Using MFP…

Look at how you eat as a life style change, not a diet. And try and work in some healthier, lower calorie meals and snacks for your family as well as yourself. Your whole family will benefit. Don't despair. You can do it. And remember, you are the boss of your kitchen!

Los Angeles!

I love quinoa. Before cooking it toast it first in a dry cast iron skillet. This gives it a nutty flavor.

Nobody with a December 9th birthday? I've got to have a birthday twin out there somewhere!

You can friend me. I'd like to share something I saw today that has really inspired me. Maybe this will inspire you, too. I hope so. "Changing Rooms" is a photographic record a young woman kept of her 160 pound weight loss over a years time. Here is the link: http://juliakozerski.com/changingroom

This is a very helpful site. Use it and lose those pounds with the rest of us : )

59 here. Please add me. I have over 100 pounds to take off. Dropped 7 so far.

Hello, I need to lose over 100 pounds. I have done this countless times before and always gain the weight back. This time I intend to lose the weight and keep it off for good!

Congratulations! You must be very proud of this great accomplishment. I am a lot older than you, but you have inspired me!

Hi Melody, I am starting all over again, too. I have gained all the weight back I had lost on Weight Watchers plus a few extra pounds. : ( I avoided the scale for a while until I couldn't fit into most of my clothes. I have found this site to be so easy to use. To see the food values there right away has made me more…

Sliced, toasted almonds. I like to use them in salads. I have not found these anywhere else.

Congratulations! You look fabulous! You are an inspiration to me.

Just joined yesterday. My starting weight is 269. I would like to get to 249 by Thanksgiving. I've lost the same pounds over and over again. This time I intend to keep them off.
