What 100 lbs gone looks like
Posting because I am so proud of where I am now! And because comparisons like this inspired me when I started my journey. This is over the course of 6 years. Stay the course! There are plateaus, but don’t get discouraged.

Preparing to start keto. Where do u track your net carbs?
Hi everyone. I’m planning to start keto (still reading and educating myself). Where can I track my net carbs and total calories at the same time? I downloaded atkins app, but that only tracks net carbs. I don’t see net carbs on MFP, unless I am missing something.

I bought a size 12 swimsuit today

So, I'm kind of new here
I've been doing SL 5x5 for about 4 months now. I started them last year, but quit not long after (I'm a group class/cardio addict, so SL was a little boring and lonely for me). This time I'm not quitting. Sometimes I feel like I need more workout, but I assume as the weight grows I won't feel that way. Currently: Squat:…

To the LA fitness sales person
Firstly, I don't mean to offend anyone, I'm sure LA fitness has great employees somewhere, but I have to vent about my "fitness assessment" at LA Fitness. I've been a member of a small Lady of America gym since last summer, however it closed on Jan 1 and had to find something else. LA fitness is the closest to me and their…

Losing hair
Hi everyone, I have lost cca 25lbs since August and I started losing hair recently (2-3 weeks ago). I do have PCOS, but hair loss was never my issue. As far as I know, my thyroid is ok, but I will have that checked once the holidays are over. I do eat my exercise calories back, sometimes not all of them, but around 50%. If…

Hair loss
Hi everyone, In general don't have a hair loss problem with PCOS. I have now lost about 20 lbs since July and lately I noticed more hair shedding when showering than usual. Is something missing in my diet? Protein maybe? Can someone shed some light? TIA!

Zumba lovers - what shoes do you like/wear?
Hi everyone, I am a fairly new... well old/new member. I finally joined the gym and my favorite are Zumba classes. I have used Nike Musique shoes in the past, they were ok. This time around I started with Nike Musique, but thought I would replace them because their soles were a bit worn. So I bought Blochs, but my feet are…

I need some motivation PLS
I have been losing continuously for about 3 months and then plateaued. My in-laws were visiting for a month and I was so busy with them I stopped logging in my food, but I was still eating good and exercising.

New here
Hi everyone, I'm new here, downloaded the Iphone app first and then realized (duh) there is a whole website behind it. My goal is to lose about 60 lbs, and just seeing that number scares me. :) . I have never been a calorie-counting person, I have (purposely) lost weight on three different occasions in my life (30lbs,…
