Had vsg 10/22/19. Developed 2 ulcers and a stricture after surgery so that sucked but I wouldn’t change a thing. Down 120 pounds since surgery. (80-something since I joined MFP again. I would love dedicated friends. I’ve been on here for years and my friends list is mostly inactive members. 😩. Hubs also had surgery this…

I've had taco bell, chinese food 2 days and 2 sodas this week. I lost 3.4 lbs. The difference? It was only 3 meals of the week, the rest was fairly healthy food and I drank a ton of water. Plus I used mfp to make sure the Chinese food, soda and TB stayed within my calorie limit. My husband and co workers wanted this food,…

Open to any new friends! I am 31 and have about 150 lbs to lose.

Would love new buddies. I have a little over 150 lbs to lose.

Hey, I would love to be a buddy. I have about 150 lbs to lose and need support as well. I think adding friends is different on each app. I have Droid so under my menu I have a friend's link. I have to add my username. I'll request you.

I would love to have more active friends on MFP. I was very active last year and fell off the bandwagon as all my other mfp friends left. I'd love some supportive friends in it to for the long haul to be a buddy. I'm 31 and have about 150 lbs to lose. My main goal this month is to work on my diet, which has been abysmal…

Welcome Jess! I'd love to be another support buddy if you need one. I'm 31 and have nothing but being fat as an excuse to not workout. When you get so heavy it's hard to get motivated when you spend the next 24 hours in pain from working out. Everyone says it gets easier as you lose weight and get healthier but they all…

Welcome whitney! I would live to be a support buddy if you need another.

Welcome back! I'm very much a yo-yo dieter. I'm primarily on mfp now to monitor my food intake. When I try to do it all at once I quit. So this year we're starting with food. When I learn to manage my food, we're moving to exercise, etc. I'd love to be a support buddy if you need another.

Hey! Hey!!

Hmm...maybe this will be my present to myself for V-Day. I can only stare at 3 buttons on the treadmill while working out. If I look anywhere else I get motion sickness from all the movin' and groovin' going on.

I think it really depends on your fitness level. Right now, because I haven't excercised since I was an egg, I am riding the recumbent bike for 30 and walking on the treadmill at a moderate pace (for me is 2.5. woe) for 60 but I am so damn sore the next day. I should mention I have been doing that for a month and am still…

Holy salivary glands Batman!! That sounds AMAZING right now!! You can bet it is on the grocery list!!

This Alien Chase sounds fun! My husband almost had me talked into a road trip to Roswell for my birthday but then I decided to go to New Orleans to see my friend. Could I pull off another road trip??? hmmm.... My long term goal is to run a marathon. I have been working out for almost 2 months and I am still walking so I…

I would like to lose 16 pounds. I am going to do it by sticking to my calorie budget, cutting back on processed foods and getting to the dang gym. I would like to work out at least 4 days a week and get above a 3 on the treadmill. If I do this I will reward myself with buying a hotel room for my *hopeful* road trip to New…

HA!

Good for you! It is incredibly intimidating to put yourself out there in a class like that. I admire your strength to stick it out. I myself was not able to truly start dieting until my husband joined in. I started working out with my brother but I still ate like crap. It wasnt until my husband saw how I was doing and…

My name is Emily and I would love to have more friends. Especially if you show your diary!!!! It's such a great way for us to swap ideas and see meal development but everybody keeps it a secret. :(

In 3 weeks ive: -Lost 8 pounds. -Gave up 99% of my soda--and have only had diet the two times I gave in. It was diet coke, which tells you how bad I wanted it. -Started exercising -Started at a GYM!!! -Went from a 45 minute mile to a 20 minute mile (today!!) -talked for an hour exercising without passing out! -More…

Sometimes I feel like the doctors stress me out more. I have clinically diagnosed anxiety and social phobia. Everytime I go to the doc I get stressed...they inevitably spend 10 minutes telling me to calm down and then check my bp every 5 minutes for the next 30. Kind of hard to calm down when your telling me im going to…

1. I was fat baby. I almost went to a normal weight in grade school but then I hit puberty at 9 and just ballooned! I was always at least twice as big as my other friends when looking back at pics.

I crave crunchy things. There has to be a calorie issue in there somewhere as well because the crunch of vegetables does not work. This came as quite a surprise in the last few weeks seeing as I was having nightmares about quitting soda and fast food. Not as much of an issue as the crunch.

Im in!

Hi! My name is Emily, Im 27 and live in Colorado. I am currently hovering around the 300 mark. My motivation to get fit is to start living. Because my husband and I are the size we are we miss out on a lot of things. We can't get off the floor so camping, hiking and a lot of mountain activities are out. We cant fit in…

Hey All, My name is Emily. I am new to mfp. I watched fok a while back on Netflix after watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. I thought it was a great documentary and I thought their arguments for a plant based diet made a lot of sense. I am hoping to get meal advice and help transitioning to a plant based diet. I have…

I just bought Happy Herbivore which is great but I also got Karma Chow by Melissa Costello. LOVE IT!!
