I have to work on the balance then. Maybe it is aa new hobby, or new priorities. We will have to work on it. I'm glad I'm not the only one, but I'm sorry as well. I know all to well how you feel.

I think I am passionate about linguistics, my field, and I do like teaching English. It feels lately more as if I can't compartmentalize everything in my life all that well. Maybe it is because it takes a lot of my day, but I used to be fine with that last year. The only different variable is the new diet. It's weird,…

Hi! You've lost a lot! Keep going and those 50 will be a thing of the past!. I like to think that I'm supportive, I log every day and try to keep up with my pals here :) Feel free to add me if you want

Just a couple of things. I've never had a good picture pre, during or post workout. People that look amazing while working out are a mystery for me. It's hard seeing that your effort is not showing on a photo but think of all the other victories and the health benefits from those 30 pounds that you no longer have. You have…

Hi! I'm in, I offer motivation and a bit of change, I'm on the other hemisphere so winter is coming! :)

Hey! I was on and off for years until I found something that works for me. I'd love to support you on your journey :)

Hi! I've had PCOS and pre-diabetes and hypothyroidism for over three years now, but only recently, after switching doctors and regimes, things have been improving. I'm doing a very controlled intermittent fasting (16-8) and a low carb, not quite keto diet. Honestly, these 40 days have been a million times better than the…

I think for me a smaller change is then way. I can't grasp those huge numbers, so my first goal is to control my sugar and insulin,then 10 kilos, then 5 more and so on. You can do this!

Hi! I'd love to! :) feel free to add me if you want.

I do three things: 1) I don't have anything bad in my house, as I know I'm too lazy to go and get it. 2) Drink green tea with spices, cinnamon or ginger does the trick. If after one or two cups I'm still craving food it means I'm hungry. 3) When I feel like giving in I watch YouTube videos of either people's journeys to…

I'm also 27, trying MFP for the third time. To be honest it took me about three years to find a program that worked with my prediabetes, and a doctor who saw beyond the typical loseweighttogetbetter.A good suggestion would be to find a good, doctor that can help, but I understand how hard that can be, so maybe try to…

It's powerful, so true... and I needed this today. Thanks for posting it! <3

I think I am sort of expecting the compliments once my weight loss becomes more noticeable... and I'm sure I'll miss them. I don't think it's petty, or if it is, I am a bit too.

So true, and I sort of needed this right now! :)

I cannot have warm avocado, it's just something beyond me. Maybe it's a cultural thing, in Chile avocados are always eaten cold. It looks pretty, but I'll pass.

I'm sorry about your sister. Take the time to process this and don't put too much on your plate, both literally and figuratively. I know from experience, when my dad died trying to do too much was terrible. Make good choices but doing beat yourself too bad if a mishap happens.

My mother had the same problem and surgery on both shoulders. It's painful and it sucks. In her rehabilitation they gave her guidelines of what she can do. Mostly walking and some exercises in the pool, mind ou she is 64 so maybe that limits it too. Ask the rehab team as well as your doctor. It's a horrible process, so I'm…

I usually walk rather fast, and when I'm with people I sometimes forget. My mother is always reminding me to slow down so we can walk together. Try telling this to her, maybe she is not doing it on purpose, but if she continuous to be like that and you're not comfortable mean girl or not, stop walking with her. :)

I need accountability, but I'm not sure how many lbs I need to lose, I use kilos... but I need to lose a lot, as well as regulate my blood sugar and insulin so... Add me if you like! :)

Hey, I'm also restarting this journey, two weeks in today! :) Feel free to add!

I'm by no means an expert, I started a new program only two weeks ago. But... It helped me to rid my house of all things unhealthy, since I know I'm too lazy to go out and buy more. This has helped me tons, all I eat is within my program because of it. I also overcame thinking about food constantly by drinking more…

I haven't thought about that, I can only have one piece of fruit a day, so thanks, I'll keep this in mind! Thanks for all the suggestions and tips :)

Wow, I already became a reading ninja, but since I eat mostly unprocessed food I've been lucky. Thanks for the advice, I'll look into that as well!

I see, ok nuts I can control the quantities and not go over it, perfect!I don't care too much for cashews, so all good! Ps: My bad, still, I like it. He looks huge, that's why I thought otherwise...

Thanks! I'm still new to this whole thing, that's why I wanted to ask, maybe there was a "forbidden" kind or something. I enjoy all fruits, I'll look into dried fruits as well, thanks! I can eat one portion of fruit a day, plus all the carbs from different salads I like. Ps: The doggie is gorgeous!

I'm also restarting this whole journey, with new goals, and a new approach. I log daily, but my diary is in a different language so I'm not sure how helpful it is. However, feel free to add me. I'm eating a low carb, not quite keto diet guided by my doctor to control my blood sugar and insulin, and hopefully lose some…

Hey! I'm from a different country, but your goal seems to me is the crucial and most important one, feeling comfortable in our skin. One way or another, most of us are working on that. We can do this.

Hey! I'm also trying this again, third time I think... I'm on the same path :)

I'm also a third timer here! I'm actually dealing with a similar approach to this whole thing! Add me if you want :)

Hey! I'm also trying again, came back here about a week ago... any friend is welcome!
