Looking for friends - people who are active on MFP and are motivated
Hey everyone! I lost 90 pounds about 5 or 6 years ago and kept it off for 4 years. I struggled to keep it off in 2017 after getting out of an abusive relationship, then in 2018 I returned to old habits and was fighting a major infection. I'm up 29 pounds, realistically want to lose about 10 to 15 pounds to be healthy and…

When I was 11 I weighed 130lbs. I decided I wanted to be slender in my teenage years, so my mother helped me to diet my way down to 95lbs. Once I…

Maintaining - Help!
So I'm at a spot where I would like to maintain for a while, and I'm in tears right now because I weighed myself unofficially two days ago - I was at my goal (awesome), and this morning, after eating at my supposed maintenance for two days, I was up half a pound (awful). I'm sick and tired of eating 1500 calories when I…

Let me see your war face!!!
So I've currently got my profile picture as a picture of me with war paint. Along with being my rave paint, this paint symbolizes that I am a warrior and that I will win this battle to reach my goal and once again take my rightful place as the ruler of my body! Anyone else who likes to play with face paint, please join me…

Will it mess up the scale to store it on its side?
So my scale recently had quite the hiccup, and I'm not sure if it was because the battery needed to be changed (which it did) or in part because we store the scale on its side... Anyone else experiencing this or know the answer? Thanks!
