new active friends would be great

ive been on the site for approximately 7 years. havent really refreshed my friends for ages and just looked and none of them were active any more (no wonder it was quiet) if anyone wants support and advice, encouragement. im 75lbs down since start and have maintained for around 3 years (give or take a holiday or two)

Thanks for all your kind words! Even more motivation to keep me going

my personal experience. is a kind of yes, based on my own results. at the moment i have lost 18lbs in total weight since January. on Jan 1st 2017 i was 277lbs 26% body fat. which is 72.02 Lbs of Fatty Mcfattyness. As of today 02/03/2017 i am 259 Lbs 21% body fat. which is 54lbs so i have lost, in total 22lbs of fat. but as…

it seems to be a very common scenario and its not one to get you down. ive reached my target weight twice and put the same if not more weight back on twice. Im back throwing caution to the wind. I always feel like i can stop using MFP once i reach my target, this time ive decided im using it forever.

hes already getting huge! hes 4 months old now, that picture is at 10 weeks. ive got some comparison pics.. god i hope everyone loves dogs.

Hi Gary, i do all body weight training myself, mainly supersets and sprints in the gym. Yes im that annoying guy who jumps on and off a treadmill every 2 minutes. But basically ive found it to be the best way to get fitter. ive no interest in being stronger. agility and muscular endurance matter to me. no aesthetics.

@Rachel0778 if i knew that puppies were going to get involved in MFP i may have returned alot sooner, this is my Labrador cross Bernese mountain dog, called Bruce wayne

@ajarseneau i pay for the pro feature because when you get close to the goal weight you can have different macros and goals for each day. This is more important for those last few pounds. Alas, im back after a break to basically start over, i also like the custom reports that you get on Pro. and then as a really wish washy…

im in Reading here, always looking for more active friends. Uk or not

im on a renewed hunt for more friends. regular user

What sort of help do you need? as in types of food to eat? specific cravings? im happy to add my 2 cents if you know what you specifically would like to know.

i found that it really helps to put some dates in a diary or calendar that are short and long term goals. im back again after a break from calorie counting and ive made some notes of what i should be aiming for. that helps to not fret over the decreasing progression. try making a 1 month goal, 3 month goal and a 6 month…

i hope no one minds but im trawling through this post to add friends. feel free to reject at will. i wont take it personally. anyone can add me, ive never said no to more support

@jdelaroy thanks for the heads up. it looks like a time served active thread so i can hopefully join in to see how everyone is doing

yeh, im basically taking that approach, if someone mentions something ive struggled with then i try and help and then offer friendship. I just wondered if anyone had any other methods. its a slow process to build up the common relation ships

is this group still accepting applications for new members? I'm a pretty common MFP candidate, adopted the calorie count in 2013 and weighed 270 lbs. lost 40lbs and then stopped counting calories. low and behold im back up near my original weight so im back with vengeance. As with the original Op on page 1 (founder of the…

ive never personally tried this because i would know how you choose which days to go low on. ive met lots of people who have been successful long term with it. They basically live on soup for two days per week.

anyone can feel free to add me, i like seeing everyone's progress while i have my 1 millionth attempt at sticking to the plan

anyone can add me, i try to be encouraging and active

Hair-mazing

i cant decide if thats mean or helpful... haha

i like lots of these suggstions, ive never thought of learning a language or something while im on my quiet times but that would be very helpful. Im going to mexico in June so thats somewhere to start. i like the calendar appointments thing, right before lunch and around snack times just a pop up to remind me what im…

i dont have to be at my desk, that isnt an issue actually. ive never thought of taking a workout in the middle of the day. i usually run in the mornings. do weights Mon-Wed-Fri and have rugby Tues and thursday. i think i associate boredom with hunger as its very easy to satisfy boredom with eating. today ive written meal…

im an engineer and the work is seasonal as such, and it comes in big waves. so some times im super busy , other times im not. i do absolutely pick up all the work i can already. but it just seems like i still have lots of time at my computer without a lot to do.

request sent,

definitley in need of more friends to keep me consistent. anyone is gladly accepted :)

thats not what i said at all. i dont for one minute think i will lose faster... i didnt realise it was a race. what i was celebrating was finding a comfortable calorie and macro composite that gave me equivalent weight loss to a restricted diet. where as before i didnt believe that would be true. and if you want to talk…

1) dont buy any book 2) use google to find a list of low carb foods. 3) replace current meals with low carb foods. why is your Dr recommending a brand? (USA?) Low carb lifestyle wont change your thyroid issues. eating a Carb rich diet means the body is catabolic and gets its energy from breaking down carbs into sugers..…

im always around and about, anyone can feel free to add me
