33/f/dfw all the doctors are telling me I have to lose weight!
Hey guys. This is my 325,652,456th time on this app trying to lose weight. I've gained so much in quarantine and in several run-ins with depression, and all my doctors are telling me I need to lose weight for my health and not just my appearance. I'm 33 and living in the Dallas area (Texas). I need friends to keep me…

31, Texas, trying to lose weight for my health!
Hey guys! I'm Katie! I used mfp back in like 2012 and lost 30 pounds! Of course, I gained it all back, and I moved around a lot the last few years and managed to gain like 15 pounds in each new city. So now I'm on a mission to lose like 70 pounds *sigh* It has always been something I've struggled with, I've never liked the…

Goal: Roller Derby! Need friends to help motivate!
Hey Guys. I tried to join roller derby back in January and instead got hurt my second day on skates. I'm FINALLY back out there, but I've managed to gain even more weight since then. I need to get on skates, but I also need to go to the gym regularly and work out to lose some weight and build some muscles, specifically in…

Quit Smoking, Now Vaping/using e-cig
Hey everyone, Does anyone else use an e-cig of some kind or vape and have any ideas about logging that? I'm sure there's added calories there that I'm not aware of, but I don't know if it's negligible or not. It's like inhaling sugar, though, no? So it should be logged, right? Thanks!

Back again... hopefully for the last time!
Alright, y'all. I'm 30 now. It's time to get healthy. Last blood test (okay, let's be real, this was my first one, because apparently this is something we need to do as adults?!) said I'm borderline for all the bad stuff like high blood pressure and cholesterol. Like, I don't even know what that means, but I know it's…

This time's the charm!
I did MFP back in 2012 and lost 30 pounds. It was awesome, I felt motivated and I looked great in my best friend's wedding! Then I got a new job and relocated and things started to get rough. I gained 10 pounds. Then, I lost that new job and was suddenly unemployed. I gained 10 more pounds. I got a new job but it was…

The Re-Return, need friends!
I can't count the number of times I've started and stopped. My most recent excuse was that my last job was so bad, I couldn't function outside of work. Like, really, I spent all my time on the couch. Then I got a new job and moved across the country. That has come with its own set of challengers, but it's really really…

Looking for more friends to hold me accountable!
Man, this working out game is tough! Sometimes I just don't want to do it. Or sometimes, I want to say yes to the free food at work (seriously, it's like they waited for me to start counting calories to bring donuts, cake, and pizza into the office every day). I need people who get it to help me stay on track! My roommate…

I'm back and looking for new friends to motivate!
I'm 28, and once upon a time I lost 30 pounds while using this website. 4 years and a whole bunch of messes later, I've gained it all back and then some. Looking for active MFP users to help keep me motivated and who I can help keep motivated, too. Looking for like minded, motivated, focused people who are and will be…

back on MFP again... time to re-lose weight!
Hello! Back on MFP for the third time (I think?). I lost 35 or 40 pounds my first time around. The second time, I never found the right motivation or support. Now, I'm back in the States after living in Jerusalem, Israel for 6 months. I am at my highest weight since college, and realizing that I gained back every pound I…

I don't know!

Round 2, looking for new friends to motivate and encourage!
Hey there, I'm Katie, 25 years old, currently living in Indianapolis. I lost 20ish pounds in 2011ish and somehow managed to keep it off, but I still have another 25-30 pounds to go. Getting back into it is tough, and finding will power and motivation is even tougher. MFP really helped me in the past, but it looks like over…

Looking or new pals!
Hey All!! This is sort of my second swing at MFP. I lost about 20 pounds, but then life took me on an interesting detour for about 4 months and I wasn't able to log in and work out the way I was. Anyways, I'm back! Well, I'm ready, anyways. New location, new fancy gym membership that puts my last gym to shame, and a new…

Arm exercises to get rid of the wings...
I have these awful fatty areas on my arms by my armpits. They flap around and are awful and I don't like them. I want to be able to wear tank tops without worrying about them. And I'm wearing a dress that exposes these wings at my best friend's wedding in October. Anyone have any good exercise recommendations specifically…

Looking for some MFPals! 24 y/o with 35 pounds to go!
Hey there! I'm pretty new to this website but I've found it extremely helpful so far. I started going to the gym a year and a half ago with a friend, but then she moved away, and I went very inconsistently after she left. I'm trying to get back on the horse and fix what I did to myself/my body while I was in college. I…

Grocery Recommendations?
I have somewhat of a weird life situation that doesn't give me much opportunity to eat extremely healthy, so I need recommendations. I live in a basement and I don't have a kitchen or any means of cooking anything other than in a microwave. I do have a refrigerator and a freezer and a small pantry-like area. I almost never…
