Hello Beauties! Glad to be back with you all in this community space :smile: 🌼 SW 333 🌼 CW 289 🌼 GW 230 I am so happy to be here with you all. In fact, I am so happy to be on this journey. Eating better and exercising makes me feel so good in mental, emotional, physical and spiritual ways. I’m a person of faith and I…

Right now in this moment. I realize that obesity is a much closer killer to me than the pandemic. (Rest assured, I take all recommended precautions and care.) I can't let my fears and the limitations of the pandemic lead me to fall off of my weight loss journey. I have come so far. I have to remember--and remind…

Hi everyone and thanks Raven for gathering these inspiring ladies! I love reading all of your goals 🙏 AGE: 44 H: 5"5' SW: 333 CW: 297 ->🙌💖🥰 Last week I joined TWO-erland 🤩 and achieved my goal of losing 10% of my body weight. I'm really proud of myself and I feel so good! When all this quarantine started I said, "Corona…

I’m discovering a beautiful inner peace doing this program. Having my meals basically planned out a day or so ahead is such a relief. Keeping my gym bag packed and ready. Winding down to be in bed for 10:30. I’m so grateful that my prayers for balance and relief from the chaos are being answered. God is good. I’ve never…

I’m looking at evening snacking in my own life too. And these are some ideas that I’m going to implement: 1. Take this as something to learn about, without judgement. 2. Observe if my evening snacking is linked to activities I associate with snacking, such as watching TV. Then maybe I can change the equation. Instead of TV…

Welcome :) I’m relatively new too, I’ve been here about a month. And yes it is nice to come back to this message boards. This is a great group! :) All the best!

Hi Everybody! Glad to be here!! :blush: My first time checking in like this... but I LIKE IT!! 5”5 44yo SW (Jan 1): 330 CW (Jan 31): 314 (WOOHOO!!!) GW: 230 JANUARY ::: I learned two important things: 1) Having favourite foods less often makes me enjoy them more... and it’s really nice to enjoy things more. 2) ALSO I…

Hi, I’m 43 and refinding a spark for feeling healthy!

Hi Kai and hello everyone, a big wave from beautiful Monteal, Canada! I'm a two-year member of mfp, looking to get back into the swing of things. I'm 39, upbeat and hard working... But just can't seem to find a rhythm to healthy eating and weight loss. So I'm here to gain inspiration and support from all of you lovely…

Hi there, I FIRMLY BELIEVE that your clothes should express your personality and style, not just cover your body!!!! Here is my list of plus size retailers who do online shopping. Maybe you can find some inspiration for your personal style, and some good finds :) MY FAVES: "AdditionElle" and "Penningtons" are two great…

HONEST ANSWER TO HONEST QUESTION: I am the same way you are. I love the way I look and the things I have accomplished in my life with this body. I have great self-esteem. I love my body and care for it in a million ways! However, I have been feeling sluggish and tired, and unable sometimes. I have felt excluded socially…

Energy shots = Avoid! My advice to you is, find your energy from within, and build it from there. A great positive attitude, good sleep and lots of water are the best energy boosts out there (and cost nothing!!)! SUGAR Concerning your question about sugar: I looked it up, and 75 cherries = 64 grams of sugar. Hmmm… you…

Thank you for sharing your success with us! and congratulations on your amazing achievement! :)

Hi :) I found a good seated workout for larger bodies here. They have a 12-part series of videos (seated for large bodies). You can find it in their playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-iKrlw00Dw&list=PL-3ha1N51FWOHt_G7xKX_Eq_94_NFsVk1 Also, i really liked this one which uses "exercise bands":…

tonight my girlfriend made: avocado chocolate mousse. a-maz-ing. basically: mashed up avey, with cocoa powder, something sweet and some vanilla. http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-11379/the-best-vegan-chocolate-mousse-youll-ever-put-in-your-mouth.html

I noticed the same thing about the back-lash, and genuinely wondered why… and decided to do something about it. A few weeks ago, there was an mfp main-blog post about the health benefits of vegan or vegetarian options. A member commented to the post that was so surprisingly intolerant, rude and full of swear-words (not to…

you look so handsome and healthy! and full of confidence and style :) congratulations!

Hi Starchile, Some of the best advice my old boss ever gave me was that I had to work on my confidence at the office. He said that I had great skills but they weren't coming across because of my body language, and my overall modest-and-meek demeanour. I was a total hide-in-the-shadows wallflower. I was so sad and…

LOL - no it's a picture of me… if I was a cat!! I'd be a pure white and fluffy cat with super-chic glasses, wearing prada perfume behind my ears, and pink nail polish on my paw-dicured toes… ^&^ meow!!

I just started 5 days ago. The first thing I've changed: logging everything I eat, without judgement. We'll see how it goes! Loved reading everyone's answers!! ^&^

You look amazing, so confident and totally hot! I love that you combined research and action! You are a really inspiring guy :) ~ Legion

Hi Garlenerains, Hi Kym, I'm also new here and thought I'd say hello. My name is Legion and I live in Canada. Kym, I work with someone from Australia, so I'll be sure to apply the charming Aussie accent when reading your posts :) This is only my 3rd day on this site, but I'm glad that you are finding it a good place now. I…

Hi Nicole, Hi Starchile, I'm also new to the group…!! I'm 38 years old and am here to make my outsides match how I feel on the inside!! My THEME SONG on this journey is: Jump Around by House of Pain. It goes: "Jump Around! Jump Around! Jump up, Jump Up and Get Down!"… -->> geesh, that's mildly embarrassing!! my…

Hi everybody! My name is Legion and I thought I'd say a quick hello! I'm new to this group and to MyFitnessPal, and looking to share with people on a similar journey of health and wellness. I'm also hoping to find support in the framework of the MFP website… A bit about me: I live in the NorthEast in a small but bright…
