Half way there but new friends would be appreciated :)
Hey all! the name is Meg, I'm 25 from Michigan. I've lost over 60lbs since August 2015, and would like to lose around 50 more, at least. I've been on MFP for quite some time, but this go-around is the one that is sticking. I'm looking to build my friend group on MFP. The friends I have on here are great, but I am trying to…

Meal ideas for 1? Help!
Hey all! I love to cook, but with a busy lifestyle I really only have time on the weekends to food prep for the week. I'm a big fan of anything that can be frozen then reheated (mind you, I don't own a microwave). The problem I have is that I am currently single, and it's HARD to find recipes for one person. Any ideas or…

Committed Friends/Support System Needed!
Hey y'all, I am in need of a few new COMMITTED friends. I recently went through and realized that more than half of my MFP friends have gone inactive, and so I am in need of a stronger support system. Background: I've been a "member" of this site since 2010, when I was using it to track my intake for medical reasons. I…

NSV- One week & the hope
The full story at http://youbetiwill.wordpress.com/ The short story: It's been a week since I last binged. It's been years since that was a true statement. Furthermore, I haven't missed a gym day, and haven't given into temptations. It may be small, but it makes me proud and gives me hope :)

Weight loss bet
As a long time binge eater with copious health issues, I was finding it... let's say "difficult"... to stay on track in losing weight and gaining health. Finally, I had enough, and, long story short, I ended up making a bet with some of my friends that I could lose weight. I got the idea from different online bets, but…

Michiganders, support please!
Hello all! I'm not "new" to MFP: I joined a while back and worked hard and lost weight. Then, I became very sick, and "fell off the wagon," so to speak, as I dealt with my health issues. Then, I graduated from college and moved back to my parents' as I looked for a job. I now work in Flint, commuting from the Brighton…

Sometimes, it's good to fail...
... because sometimes failure lets you know that you gave all that you had, and more. ~~ Back story (short version): I am female, 5'10, and when I started MFP, I weighed 250lbs, which I had weighed for most of my life. I have no idea what I weigh now- I stopped weighing in a while ago. I don't want my goal to be…

Cooking with bell peppers
I want to like peppers, I really do! However, I really don't like them. Any recipes/ideas that might start me on a path to appreciation?? (note: Tomato-free recipes, please. I am allergic) Thanks!

Don't tell me that I can't..
One of the best ways to guarantee that I will succeed is to tell me that I am bound to fail. I never had a choice in putting on this weight- health problems when I was younger ensured that I would. I have, however, always had the choice to take it off or keep it. For about 8 years, I chose to keep it. Did I realize that I…

Turning "can't" into "can"- motivation
There are so many things I cannot do as a result of health problems and/or being overweight. And that motivates me. So my question to you is: what can't you do that you want to do? How does that motivate you? I can't right now, but I will: Run more than a mile Snowboard Hike long distances White water raft Rollerblade…

Looking for ACCOUNTABILITY.
Hello All! A bit about me (the short version): I am a 22 year old student at Central Michigan University, studying Child Development. In eighth grade, I became extremely sick, which caused me to lose the ability to stay active and I quickly became a couch potato. It didn't help that I was never truly taught how to eat…
