  • Hello! I have been in and out of using MyFitnessPal for quite a while. I just decided I should do the premium so I can scan foods, but everything I've scanned today is totally inaccurate? Does anyone else have this issue? Is it just a temporary glitch.
  • I just looked back at my history of MFP and realize since 2013 I’ve been losing and regaining the same twenty pounds or so. I really would like to also make new friends that can relate. I have a hard time being consistent for a long period of time. I was doing weight watchers until about Halloween then fell off the wagon…
  • Sorry, I didn't really introduce myself. I am 42, weighing the highest I have in my entire life, and diabetes and heart disease runs very strong in my family, along with obesity. I am getting to the point, where I need to try something and figure out what works for me. Because doing nothing, and just letting everything…
  • Yes I can certainly relate. I need to lose 75 lbs or more and I just can't keep it together long enough to stick with it. My emotion I am working through is anger and annoyances with my job my husband and feeling indecisive and stuck,
  • Thanks for starting this group! It might just be the short term goal I need to get headed in right direction again! I've had a rough year and all the progress of last year at this time I've gained back. I'll probably weigh in on Saturdays: Starting weight: 225 My first mini goal is to stop night eating and start logging…
  • I like to write too and used to keep journals all the time and just got "too busy". I think this is a great idea because writing gives you something to do with your hands and also allows you to reflect on the patterns of when you eat or that binging feeling and where the root of the problem is. . I will definitely try this…
  • Date: November 1st Exercised?: Yes: 50 minute walk Calories?: Yes Tracked?: Yes!! I almost skipped my at least 20 minutes of exercise, because I had a horrible headache, but knowing I didn't want to fail on my first day, helped me get outside. My headache went away, and I was able to take a longer walk!!
  • Hello everyone, I also fall under this category of needing to lose 60 lb plus.. maybe 70 or so. I am currently 217 which is my absolute highest all time weight of my life, and I am so discouraged and uncomfortable. I started MFP last January and lost 15 lbs until April or so. Then in May I went way off track, and had some…
  • Hello everyone! My name is Denise, and this is my first time trying this challenge. It seems do-able, but at the same time could be challenging if I forget to log, or update on this board. I'm in!! I am also a moderator for a group, "Buddy Challenge group for November" if anyone wants to join this group as well. It really…
  • I am totally in the same boat.. starting over again. All of the weight I had lost from January to May of last year, is now guess where? Yup!

  • .Excited for a new week.. because last week I didn't really post with this idea of merging teams, and re-organization. So, how do we know who is on our newly merged team?
  • Hello everyone .. My name is Denise and I was on the brown team... I'm glad we can continue the challenge !,:smile:
  • I would still like to participate... and was part of Brown Team. So however we merge, that is fine with me! I can't be a captain right now, but maybe we can rotate captain duties monthly on our merged teams so that is more manageable.
  • I'm still here.. and most my team was posting just a few days ago.. so maybe the weekend has everyone behind..
