I'm Back!!!
Hi everyone! I'm back here again as life has come full circle! Between the added pandemic weight loss and having a baby in June 2021, I'm back on the train again. I hit my all time weight low in 2017 at 170 but after getting with my husband, we both gained about 60 pounds. (yay happy fat) now it's time to lose it again so…

ugh! Knee surgery/Vacation
Ugh!!! So this past week I've had knee surgery and a 4 day mini-vacation to Atlanta. I ate all the good Southern foods while not being able to exercise/walk much. I feel so lazy! On the flip side, I only gained 4 pounds when I though I for sure gained a lot more than that and some of it is probably water weight. I wish I…

Anyone else suffer from migraines?
Hey everyone... Does anyone else here suffer from severe migraines? And if you do, how do you get through them? I had one so severe last night that even my abortive medicines didn't work, so I didn't make it to the gym. I'm not sure how effective working out would be to help stop the pain. Are any of yall able to work…

Morning workout
Just did my first ever 5am workout instead of a night workout!! If I can do it so can you! Happy Monday!

Morning workout
How do you guys make yourself get up in the mornings to workout? I always want to work out before work but can’t bring myself to wake up in the mornings. I would work out at night but it keeps me up for hours. Help?!

Coffee
Good morning MFPer's! So I have a love/hate relationship with coffee. I have stopped drinking it mostly and only have a cup every now and then. My question is, can coffee cause a stall in weight loss? It seems to me that when I do drink it, I don't lose any weight.

restarting for the 100th time
Hey everyone! So I'm not quite new to MFP, but I feel like I've restarted so many times it's crazy.... But here's my story. I've been overweight all my life. Nothing crazy but just overweight. I moved away from my family in 2014 at my then highest weight and was able to drop 40 pounds healthily. I was in and out of…

well i think it finally hit home
After many years of struggling with my weight, I've finally come to terms with it. I need to lose the weight. Not only have I put on 50 pounds over 2 years, but my health is at risk. I have struggled with the weight loss, not because I'm lazy, but because of the fact that my boyfriend wasn't into all the healthy stuff, and…

Anyone starting out around 210 and 5' 8"?
I'm currently around 210 and 5' 8". I just want to find someone around my stats that's trying to get down around 140-150ish? What are you guys doing to jump start your weight loss? I could totally use the support. Even if you're not around my stats, we can all use the support!!

working out at night??
Does anyone else enjoy working out at night? I know they say it's better to work out in the morning, but I am totally NOT a morning person. I am a die hard night owl so it just makes sense to me to workout at night... Plus there's not many people at the gym this late at night.... The only problem is, when I get home from…

sinus surgery
Has anyone else had sinus surgery? How long did it keep you from exercising? I myself had the procedure done this past Thursday, 10/11. I woke up to NO sense of taste or smell. That said, without my sense of taste, I am kind of turned off from food. I've lost almost 5 pounds since the procedure due to just not eating as…

C25K
I went to the gym to run my C25K Week 3 day 2 run after taking a 3 day rest due to pain in my legs. I did okay and finished it. But for some reason I think I have shin splints… It hurts soooo bad and it gets to the point when I’m running that I can’t move my ankle certain ways. I feel that endurance wise I’m ok with the…

does anyone see it
So I just created a side by side comparison. The pictures on the left column are from when I started on August 14th, 2012. The right column are from tonight, 10/5/12. I actually have gained a little weight since I started but I'm going to chock that up to gaining a little muscle. Does anyone notice anything different…

sleeping
Does being overweight cause sleeping issues? I find that i can never fall asleep and its even worse when i work out at night :(

Running music
So I've recently re-discovered my love for running and am now shooting to finish the C25K program. I'm currently on Week 3 Day 2 but I had to take a couple of days off due to REALLY sore inner calf muscles (which I think are possibly related to shin splints?) Anyways, I need some good upbeat music that I can keep a pace…

Starting over
So here I am again, starting on this weight loss journey for good. I tried a few months back but I couldn't keep up with the daily and constant logging. Now I am determined, as I have a very fun Cancun trip in about oh, 4 months. I know I'm not going to be losing a lot of weight by that time, but hey a girl can dream…

here's a little motivation :)

help!!! :(
So I've been on this weight loss journey since the beginning of the year. My boyfriend is big as well but he lacks any kind of motivation to lose the weight! He always says he'll go to the gym with me (I hate going alone) but anytime I ask him to go with, he always has some excuse! I know he wants to lose the weight too…

new to fitness pal :)
Hi all! I'm kinda new to fitness pal. I joined a while back and just couldn't get into logging everything. I would forget or feel too embarrassed. I hopped on the scale the yesterday and felt horrible by what I saw. I've been struggling with my weight for some time now but I just can't get motivated to do anything about…
