Welcome @Luanneli You sound a lot like I did when I first joined up many years ago now. I lost and gained for over 30 of my adult years. What worked for me was doing low carb, some keto time, and I do fasting protocols when I need to recover from holidays, etc. You can do it. Be sure and check out the announcements area.…

You show up as a leader in my view, are you seeing yourself there as well? If not MFP support will need to be contacted.

Thanks @sewfast I really appreciate your stepping up. I'll set you up, by tomorrow if all goes well you should show as a leader in the membership area.

Welcome Elizabeth, it should like you are doing well. Exercise usually doesn't happen unless it is something you enjoy doing. I do a lot of varies fasting protocols, IF almost daily.

Big welcome to the newbies. "That's always the hardest part for me, maintaining the loss." This was always my problem. I finally went low carb and then added intermittent fasting 14/10, with occasional longer fasts. I am working on year five of maintaining now. It can be done, so find what works for you and go for it.
