200lbs to lose and looking for support/friends
A little about my current journey. Forgive the ADHD storytelling! I have been on and off MFP for a while, and I've battled with my weight for over 20 years, but 2020 was a turning point. All the stress and weight gain during the pandemic caused me to start blood pressure medication. Then we lost my grandmother quickly and…

My first NSV - a gift to my granny!
Since it’s officially 4/4/2021...HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my Old Lady! I miss you tons! ❤️ Last September or August I bought some new jeans and two pairs of shorts because I hadn’t much else going on outside of school and care taking with the pandemic. In the shorts I bought “my size” in one and another a size up thinking the…

Made it through my first 7 days! *sorry for the length*
I started low carb last Monday after being fed up of feeling out of shape, and having to start another around of knee injections and physical therapy. SEVERAL years ago while working at Duke with my mom I tried to follow Dr. Westman’s program with her. She lost 66lbs while I kept jumping off the train lol. When I decided…

What supplements are you taking?
I pretty much discovered in the first week that I would need to get some help getting vitamins in while going through this new LCHF life! So that week I bought a Women’s Multivitamin I had been taking before but stopped. I also noticed I was cramping like mad no matter how little or how much sodium I was getting. So last…

Looking for low carb buddies!
Today makes 14 days in and 13lbs down! :D ...but no one to talk to.... :( I see people on my friend's list talking about pizza, cake, and eating out. Then everyone I work with constantly eats fast food and brings carb heavy potluck items. I just sit at work in my office all day with no one to really talk to or to support…

First sucessful week of low carbing....I think? Support/advice needed.
It's been about 2 years since I last tried low carb and well about 2 weeks ago, something in me decided I would give this another go. I thought if by modifying/tweeking Dr Westman's "new atkins" program if I could do a little better than previous attempts. I started on 9/15/2015 so I'm a day shy of completing my first…

How often do you log your loss?
Quick question for the seasoned folks. How often do you log your weight loss? Eveytime you get on the scale? Weekly? Not at all? The last time I used MFP I lost 40lbs, but I also went bat-s*** crazy with the scale. So this go around I took a starting weight and decided to put the scale away in the attic. Out of sight out…

Young and young at heart professionals need apply!
I'm not new, but I have lost many "pals" along the way. :'( So i'm looking for (but not limiting to) other young professionals. I also have over 100lbs to lose so I'm hoping to find friends that will be here for the long hall! I'll be 29 this year and while I will LOVE losing weight for all the glooooorious health…

Is this going TOO far???
Hello everyone! So today was an interesting day at work....VERY interesting..... One of the doctors in our clinic is Pro low carb, no more than 20g/day outside of the list of acceptable foods, and director of his own lifestyle management weight loss clinic. He is currently working with another physician here in our area to…

Support/Friends
Hi! I'm 26 years old and I've been on and off MFP a couple times, but I generally stayed about 15-20lbs below my starting weight from when I first joined. After financial hardship over the last few months, the resulting depression and emotional eating, I am now right back to where I first began. I'm looking for some new…

Over 100lbs to go and motivated...just lacking supporters :(
I don't meant to sound annoying and I feel like I'm begging for friends. But a lot of the folks who were around when I first joined MFP have either deleted their pages, or just haven't logged in for months. My heaviest weight was 361.8 last year. I was 354 at the begining of this month (August 2012) and since then I've…

In need of true support!
Hi guys. I usually don't do this....actually i've never done this! I've been an MFP member since late January 2012. Since joining I've been up and down within a 15lb range on the scale. I knew I was ready to lose the weight this year but now it's May 1st and I'm just fed up. I'm 5'9" and at my heaviest (on January 20th…

Low carb anyone?
Is anyone doing the low garb/Atkins diet? I've tried it several times and its great the first week, but after that I don't see the results like others claim. My weight just bounces up and down on the scale after a while, plus it gets boring when putting so many restrictions on yourself.
