Absolutely the same. I’ll add you if that’s ok. Really need to get healthy now

Same story here as well 😓 Add me if you want and we can try try try 💪🏻

Hi all. 41, in the Uk with three kids and weight just going up and up. Just come back on these forum pages...not been here for a long time although still been “using” the food entry part of the app. I have put on an awful lot of weight in the last five years (since my 2nd child) and it’s really affecting my mental health…

I’m looking for new friends here too as most of mine are inactive now.

Fabby! Thanks so much for this

I seem to have not posted everything I wrote..baby brain already! Food is my enemy at the moment, I can barely face most things and have to eat exactly what I want or else I'm sick for the rest of the day! Ugh...can't wait for this bit to pass and get back to healthy!

Congrats to you as well on number 5! Happy and healthy 9 months...I'm 11 weeks so not far behind, but still in the middle of all the nausea/food aversions and generally feeling awful!

Hey. I'm trying to lose 30lbs as well. I'm on mfp daily and I need motivating as well. You can add me if you want.

Hey. You're welcome to add me if you want. Good luck on your journey.

Definitely! I need all the motivation/help I can get to keep going! We can do it :-)

Hey. I definitely need accountability buddies. I'll add you if that's ok.

Hey. I'm feeling the same way as you! I'll add you if that's ok?

I'm in Scotland. Feel free to add me anyone - I really need some accountability buddies!

Hey there. I'm the same. I have 30lbs to lose that I have failed at since youngest was born 1.5yrs ago. Really want to do it this time. I'll add you if that's ok? X

Thanks for the advice folks, really appreciate it and I will add you if that's ok cattfield7 I need to be accountable!! Thanks again x

I'd really appreciate a mentor on here! I cannot seem to re-kick start the healthy lifestyle I followed for years and years. Since I had my youngest 1.5yrs ago, I've lost little weight and 28lbs heavier. I try and start every day and by the end of every day, I'm disgusted in the food I have eaten. And feel a failure. I'm…

Hi there. I'm really excited about this group as well. Hoping it makes me more accountable. I'm 5"5, 36 and weigh 163lbs. I put on weight with my second baby last year and not lost it yet. I've only lost 10lbs in last few months and really want to get back down to about 133lbs! Feels like a massive task as I have no time…

Thanks for replies. Checked settings and think diary is open. I have been running for a while but I love it and get an enormous achievement from it. Never used to be able to run at all. I'll check out pics but clothes just fit exactly the same so doubt there'll be any difference. It just makes it so hard to stay healthy…

Anyone is welcome to add me. I'm 11st 5 and would like to get down to 9st 7. Want to be fit and really interested in starting to lift. Would love to hear from anyone else who's had results from lifting.

I never lost any weight until I stopped breastfeeding at 10months. I tracked all food and walked miles every day and never dropped a lb until I stopped. It's SLOWLY shifting now. Sorry no advice just to say I was the same.

Hey. I'm in Scotland and anyone is welcome to add me. I need some more active mfp friends to help kick my bum when I need encouragement.

I didn't fast when breastfeeding but I had two very healthy days sticking to 1200 calories and ate normally the rest of the week and started normal 5:2 again when I stopped feeding completely at 10months (he got teeth, haha)

I'm back on the 5:2 now as well after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Ready to shift some serious pounds! Good luck to everyone.

Thanks everyone for all your replies and I'm glad I'm not the only one doing this. I never used to do this at all, I was so clean and good with food but some days now I just feel out of control. I keep saying tomorrow is a new day but then I do it again. I've redone my TDEE as one website said it was almost 2000 but MFP…

I'm in scotland. Trying to find my way on 5:2 again after having my little boy.

That's great, thanks for your reply! I have added you as a friend - although not sure how that works! I have been using the calorie counter on here for a while but only just noticed the "community" side of it! :-)

Bump! Anyone?

Sorry, yeah I didnt write that out properly (at work and shouldnt be online)! BMR is 1530 and TDEE is 2100. Cool, thanks for giving me those links. Well that's a helpful tip, I wasn't expecting - but I will eat some more now! Fabby - happy Friday or what. Thanks again :smile:

I'm not petite at all, I am medium build, 5"5'. I count back calories on the cycles and jogs but dont bother counting the calories for any squats/crunches or the yoga. I don't feel that I am all that active. Although my cycles are quite long, they are not hard-going as it's with my 6-year old son - so need to keep a steady…
