Hey! I don't know what made me think today was the right day to post some photos of my progress, but here we are anyway. I'm a disabled woman, my impairment was really severe a few years ago and I was constantly in hospital, in ICU unable to breathe. I was in crisis, physically and mentally. And so I decided I needed to do…

Fine tuning macros - advice please!
Hey guys, So just a quick bit of background. I'm at goal, have been maintaining for a good little while now, having lost over 150lbs over the last 4/5years. I've used MFP for the last 3ish years and over that time I've been putting more and more energy into fine tuning what works for me in terms of diet. Like many people I…

Disabled or wheelchair using members?
Hey guys, I'm wondering if there are any other wheelchair using or disabled members? I've managed a good amount of weight loss and I'm confident it'll keep working out for me, but it's really hard when you're disabled and your ability to move around or monitor food is different to non disabled people. I'd really like to…

Something to say!?
Hey guys! It's lovely to have an LBGT board here, a space of our own to talk about whatever gay **** we wanna talk about .. but all we seem to say to one thing: 'be my friend!' ..

I will be your friend!
So .. given that many people seem to come here looking for the same thing, we figured it would be a good idea to have a directory of people willing to be added by anyone who may come here looking for friends .. rather than starting the same post over and over. If you are happy to be added by people, please leave you name…

She's struggling to keep up here though as without friends to motivate its easy to fall into old habits.

How do you feel about starting a family?
I imagine people here have had to consider the possibility that they might not be able to start a family by conceiving and giving birth, so how do you, your partners, your families feel about starting families through adoption, fostering or surrogacy?

Changing 'my recipe', is it possible?
So, I'm making soup and I'm keeping a track of everything that's going in on the recipe function. Only, I've no idea how many portions it'll be in the end, and I can't find anyway to edit it on my iPhone/pad/mobile site? Any ideas? (Also no search function for the message boards here so I'm sorry if a million other people…

Calorie counting as a disabled person
Hey everyone, I've only been using MFP a few weeks, but already have a really good punch of people around me and I've lost 28lbs. I've seen lots of people talking about TDEE and although I worked out my requirements on fitness frog, I'm unsure it's right given that I'm disabled. There are two issues as far as I can see,…

Another new face

I'm a full time wheelchair user, can't walk at all and have developed serious weakness of my upper body too. It means keeping weight off is crazy hard. It has to be done…
