I'm there with you! I miss how good I felt when I was eating mostly clean, living my best life! I need some extra encouragement and some ways to get more clean protein without a ton of calories. Looking forward to this group and please add me as a friend! Anyone interested in eating clean, we can do this!

Okay friends... Lets do this!

Accept. We're all in this together b/+&h*$!

I'd like to join this group as well. I'm 5'8", 170 pounds and I need to be 155 by August 3! I was there then gained more than my share of holiday weight and can't seem to keep my act together long enough to lose it. I have only been running 3 days a week, need to make that 5 and I committed to that this week so we will see…

Respect. Confidence without arrogance. Humor.

I'm in!

You all inspire me! I lost 123 pounds several years back and have yo-yo'd at a smaller number than I did for many years. I've still not completely figured out how to handle my negative relationship with food but I'm getting there. I have about 25 pounds to lose to really be where I want to be. I love the energy you all…

Just found this thread today. I'm in for May and June! :)

I'm late in the game here, but I need to try something to get me back on the right track! Current goal weight: 155 May 1st weight: 172.4 June 1 goal: 165 July 1 goal: 161 August 1 goal: 158 Sept 1 goal: 155 And please feel free to friend me as well! Good luck to us all. :)

The last few months have been terrible, inconsistent, sugar loaded and over calories on the regular. HOWEVER, I am highly motivated right now to lose 15 or so pounds (I'd like to lose 5 in the next 10 days but that is a lofty goal)! No matter if I'm doing well or poorly, my diary is open and I've vowed to to log even when…

I have to be all in as well. If I give myself an inch, I take a mile.

I'm no expert, but I certainly think you should consider yoga practice if your diagnosis is a tight back and hamstrings. It makes a huge difference. I incorporated yoga poses into my cool down routine when I was training for my half last summer and it made a great difference in my running and my day after my run.

I'm much older than you so my concerns and abilities are different than you at 20something. But I have PCOS and my daughters, who are closer to your age, also have PCOS so I understand the struggles. I spent many years being morbidly obese, early in my 30s decided to make a change. I work to maintain a healthy weight and…

Anyone, please feel free to add me. I need an extra push of motivation. I log daily but have missed a few lately because I don't feel like I need to be accountable. when I have active friends it helps me stay accountable to myself and to them, vice versa. I've had a couple friends I chatted with often but they've left MFP…

Forgot to log this yesterday...I am so ready for accountability! My weigh in day will be Friday Starting weight this challenge: 161.7 September goal: 155 Utimate goal is still undecided, I'm more motivated by fitness vs scale at this point but I think 145 would be my lowest acceptable weight. September 1: 161.7 September…

I want in! I'll post all my info in the morning. I can't believe it's September already!

55 pounds is a big deal!! Congratulations! I too had to do a lifestyle overhaul about 10 years ago. I still have some weight fluctuations, that's life. However, I yo-yo in a much lower range than I did back then. Keep challenging yourself in new ways, be it eating more vegetables, moving more, trying new workouts, drinking…

Fellow emotional eater here...add me for support if you like!

Good luck! Add me if you like. I've been here a while. :)

Let's do this! I'm always happy to have more friends!

@floridamatty - How do you make your own sausage? I'd like to give that a whirl!

You are all so inspiring! ❤

You're all so intense but it looks like if I want to improve my running in preparation for a half marathon this is the place to be!! I'm going to go for a measly 70 miles for this month.

Always happy to offer support and motivation and hope to get the same. You're doing great! Anyone can add me if you like! :)

The time will pass no matter what you are doing so why not use that time to work on being the person you want to be? Work on being the version of you that makes you happy, makes you feel proud of who you are and what you've become, makes you flip your hair when you look in that mirror! :smiley:

1200-1300 is what I eat now for loss so I don't think it's going to hurt you but I don't think you need to reduce your calories in order to avoid gaining. Just make sure you're logging everything and staying within your daily goals. You say you've quit before, so plan every day for what you might expect (I'm an ex-smoker…

Feel free to add me! :smile: I've been about where you are now. We need people in differences places in weight loss and fitness to help us move forward. Whatever works for you can't be wrong! Keep it up!
