Back to the smörgåsbord
Hi all, After a really great year-and-a-bit where I lost close to 70lb, I fell off the wagon last summer and have gradually put back on a fair chunk of that. Not all of it, but a disappointing amount, and I'm finally through the sort of denial and shame feelings I think, and motivated to just sort it out again. Glad for…

Returning member... UK
Hey, I'm not new here, but having a bit of a fresh start after having fallen off the wagon over the last nine months or so. Back on it now, happy for any new friends to support and be supported by, from UK or elsewhere. I hope to lose about 4 or 5 stone eventually, but one day at a time. I lost around 5st a couple of years…

One-year hump
Hi there, I don't really use the forums much (hi!) but I'm at a little bit of a wall at the moment so thought I'd write to see what advice people had as I'm sure I'm not alone! So I've been doing this for just over a year (today is my 400-day streak!) and have lost 74lb. A few months ago I'd lost 89lb. My weight has sort…

Insanity for jogging
Hi there, I know this isn't the first thread on here about this, so sorry to bring it up again. The stuff I've read online doesn't really have a conclusive answer, so I wanted to give you my situation and hope to get your opinions on the best option. In short, I'm a fairly novice runner (been training since last August)…

Advice for post-5k moving on to Zombies, Run!
Hi there, After next week I'll've finished the 5k training! I'm running a 5k race on Halloween so I'll have a month to keep on going, improve times, etc. I'm obviously keen to start using the Zombies, Run! main app as I love the story side of things. However, I've also really enjoyed the structure and interval training of…

Half-way through 5k training!
Hi everyone. Just a message to say hello! I'm totally hooked on the Zombies, Run! 5k training. About three years ago I was in a jogging club, and trained for a 5k race (took about 35 mins) - but since then I got completely out of shape and about three months ago was at my heaviest adult weight. With a combination of MFP…

Positive changes through weight loss.
Hey everyone. What with all the posts about the pressures to be slim, and perhaps feeling self-conscious, have you found your weight loss/lifestyle change has helped you so far? I'm some way off my final goal, but having now lost a couple of stone I'm fitting back into tshirts which I haven't had out in a long time, and am…

A 'hello' from the UK, and some thoughts on the gay scene...
Hullo, dear LGBT+ers. Please indulge me in an introduction and a bit of a ramble, or feel free to ignore...! I'm a 28 year old gayman in the UK, and this isn't the first time I've struggled to manage my weight. All of my adult life it's been something I have never managed to get on top of, and although I've had some…

Favourite meals
I know that we'll all be focussing on different things with our eating, so what works for one may not work for another... and I know not everyone likes cooking, either... but I thought it might be nice to keep a thread with any favourite recipes or meal ideas/tips. I've started thinking about what things have high flavour…
