Hi everyone! My name is Jen and I'm from Southern New Jersey. Currently I'm 250 (the quarantine 15 is apparently so real for me) My May goals: Log all my food Exercise at least 4 days a week Loose at least 8lbs Not to fear the scale and to get on it regularly Try something new every week I have completely gone back to all…

I'm so glad I found this! I just started myself and am slowly working my morning coffee from lots of creamer to black. I'm just learning & have questions if anyone has good resources... so I'm open to anyones suggestions! I'm really liking it and my hunger is better controlled for sure already.

I am an emotional eater and a binge eater. The only thing besides medication (I was desperate) that has helped me is talking when I feel like eating and rebuilding my friendships to not revolve around food as much. Not a success story yet.

I'm struggling & looking for support myself and new friends. Feel free to add me!

So usually when I do this it's because my stomach has been messed up and I want to know how bad it's been as it gets better

I completely understand where you are coming from. I have the same issue. Lately I'm struggling really hard. Keep the faith and keep asking yourself why am I hungry. Sometimes I know why other times I don't. But I found asking myself is helping.

My petty reason is that im tired of being single and not feeling like I can attract the kind of man I'm interested in because of my looks.

I just turned 30 in December and my goalfor 2020 is to get under 200lbs. I am looking for people to help keep me motivated with interaction in MFP because I don't have a support system for weight loss at home

Going I confident then having an anxiety attack and crying in a corner Having a bad day and trying hard but feeling like your completely uncoordinated

Hey, I'm just getting back into the swing of things & am looking for motivated friends as well! Feel free to ad me!

I'm sorry to hear about your struggle. I have depression, fibromyalgia, and 2019 was a rough year for my depression. I also gained back a portion of weight I had previously lost. What seems to help me is to find support and to talk about it. To set obtainable goals and to have real support In reaching them. Even hitting…

I have a Garmin, I can see texts but not send them.seems to work well with MFP

Thank you for all your insight, I appreciate the time you guys took to answer my question. "Anyone else who is frustrated & has found ways to get past it and change into a positive state of mind when they are struggling for long term success?"

Hey! I also struggle to keep going, finding friends on here helps so much! And remember track it and move on if you have something over your limit, don't dwell on mistakes. I've found lots of fresh veggies usually keeps your calories low and baked chicken well seasoned you can do alot with. Ive found these wraps in my…

Track it and move on, tomorrow will be better. I'm a serial binge eater trying hard not to give into my night time cravings, so I understand the frustration with yourself when you do stuff like that.

I struggle with the same myself, the best thing I've done is sign up for something expensive class or personal training... have guilt if I don't go and it takes up money out of the food budget so I can't buy bad things. I'm currently struggling and have rebounded to my heaviest, but I'm still fighting. Keep positive and…

Your not a failure, failure is giving up. It's okay to rebound and have to try again, it's part of life sometimes. Just keep tracking even on bad days and keep your head up, I'm in the same boat, I have Fibromyalgia and one of the meds they put me on turned me into a log and I went from 215 to 256, loosing weight and…

I loved my Jawbone Up, but kept killing them, I also went with Garmin because it was water proof & am loving it, I'm 5 months in, no real issues battery still lasts a week, even seems to be baby proof

I am struggling with chrinic fatigue & pain amoung a large last of symptoms that my GP believes is fibromyalgia. It makes exercise so much harder & is mentally taking a toll on me to get my weight under control. It's reassuring to know and hear from other people who are having the same feelings, that I am not alone.

Southern New Jersey as well! Not far from Philly! Stratford 08084 to be exact! Feel free to add me! -Put trying to get back In action this summer.

I confess that success is a scary thing and I keep sabatoging myself. Some of it is my depression holding me back but some is fear.

Yes and I have diverticulosis. They put me on the FODMAP diet, and it's really rough

I know the feeling all to well, this is the rough part. But the scale isn't lying, you are loosing. Just keep going! You are doing a great job! You will soon notice a shirt that was to tight loosening up or pants that you used to be your squeeze into parts aren't a challenge. If it helps try taking measurements once a…
