Audiobooks For Motivation
Hi! I could tell you my long journey/story, but it mirrors so many others. I'm planning to begin increasing my walking and I'm hoping audiobooks will cure a lot of issues I have staying motivated. Does anyone have any suggestions? I loved the movie Brittany Runs A Marathon so that's sort of my vibe. I used to be an avid…

Help - Navigating the App
Hi! I need help! I’m familiar with how to navigate the browser version, but navigating the community via app seems… clunky. I’m on day 2 of restarting my journey. I had an initial victory 10 years ago when I lost enough weight with nutrition to become someone who would run 5ks every other day for fun! That’s gone now…

Anyone on here doing Optifast and want to create a message channel?

Just started - small losses -Support requested
So I just started back up and I have seen an incremental loss of 1.8lbs. Most people typically have large initial losses... I know they’re water weight losses but I’m super bummed because I could REALLY use the starting push to feel successful. Anyone else experience this?

Incremental losses initially... not large water weight losses.

Why? Why are you here? Motivation!
So, I know that we all have some common goals. For instance, a lot of us are here to "lose weight, get healthy, be better for our kids/family" but I'm sure there are a lot of reasons we may not even think about for being here. I'm here because I want my energy and confidence back. I don't mean confidence in how I look, but…

Serial Restarter/Succeeded Once Before!
I stopped using the forums and the counting and the support groups when I got down to 170. I counted calories and I had started running when I hit 245. I recall cutting calories to 1200 and being tired. I recall pushing through that and running 3 miles a night 4 times a week. I got to 170 and I felt really fit so I…

Tactics To Success?
Hi guys! Sometimes when I go to track a food, I realize it's going to put me over or it will cause me to need to skip out on something else. I'm wondering what you say to yourself or what do you do that helps prevent you from saying "F it." What pulls you back and sets you straight? I'm thinking using Pinterest and this…

Regaining Focus!
Hello all, I used to be very active in these forums when I began my journey over 7 years ago. I began by changing eating habits and getting more active in my daily life. Then I began a running program and changed my eating habits even more. I lost 75lbs! Then life changed. I got a very intense research job and I couldn't…

Down 75lbs... Up 45lbs. Thanks life! New friends? Starting over!
Hey ya'll! I started MFP in 2011. I lost 75lbs! First I changed diet, then I began working out occasionally... then I was a runner! I burned through fat and it was crazy! I hit platueas but I broke them! Fast forward 6 years and for around 3 years I've been slowly gaining the weight back. 45lbs to be exact. I got injuried…

Weight Watchers to kill my plateau?
Yesterday I made this post: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1090633-plateau-from-hell. Please look at it first. Who thinks that doing WW might help break my plateau? I don't want to quit MFP. I'm not saying that, but honestly, I followed their requirements and it's not getting my body going... PS The link has to be…

Plateau from HELL!
I went from 245 to 205 by calorie counting. I started this clear back in March of 2011. At the beginning of 2012 I began running again. I ran almost 40 miles a month and got all the way down to 170. By this time I wasn't calorie counting anything and my appetite for carbs and everything else was insatiable. After a few…

Sick... Calorie Counting...
I'm sick... I have a cold. I found out orange juice is 110 calories a cup. I know I could eat oranges, but I already bought the juice... and I can't peel oranges very well... so I ruin them and then throw them away. Anyhoo... I still fully intend to calorie count everything, but I was wondering if I should try to stay…

WATCH THIS!
I thought it'd help to take the edge off of all the hard work we put into this weight loss stuff... and this looks like me in the dressing room, which I must admit is pretty ****ing hysterical. Just thought it might take some of the edge off. <3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMlcBXDdqaA I wanted to embed... but I can't…

SO Discouraged... UNTIL
I made this thingy on paint. It's a virtual model of the weight loss I could see... if I get it together. I lost 10lbs the first two weeks... then only 1 last week... so I was feeling pretty crappy. (I know, I know. That's how it happens, a lot at first, little later... but I at least wanted to see 2lbs. I was sick... but…

Wondering...
Okay... so I lost 5 pounds the first, 4 the second... and 1 last week. I'm discouraged... to say the least, but I'm really trying to put it all back together this week... so I was thinking maybe my calorie intake was my problem... I didn't change anything else. I was also sick last week... so that might have been a…
