Anyone around? Went back to reddit just for this community and can't stand the reddit app. (lemmy.zip)

Hi everyone,

I'm on a long delayed (re-weight loss journey) about 10 years ago I lost 115 lbs and kept it off until the last year or two where it's kept back up and now I found myself at 240lbs (previous high was 294). So anywho, I'm on day 4 tracking calories again and I was disappointed this community is inactive. I went back to Reddit for the first time in over a year and the reddit app is so bad. Ads everywhere.

So anywho, if anyone is interested maybe we can restart this community or start a new one if the mod here is gone. If anyone is interested let's share or stories, successes, tips and failures.

Edit: so cool to see all the comments! Thanks y'all.

Seems to me that weight maintenance is inherently difficult. Given that such a small percentage manage to preserve a major weight loss. It's something that requires daily mindfulness that is difficult to maintain in the stresses of life in this era.

I mean, I understand the difficulty conceptually, I've even seen friends struggle with it, but "understanding" is a whole 'nother ball game. I've had more struggle in the other direction, perhaps that's why.
