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.

Sure. The side panel is not super explicit. Is discussion around medication such as wegovy/ozempic allowed?

The mods don't look particularly active so I'm going to make a guess based on how the reddit community worked.

Medical interventions are fine to talk about so long as they are kept in perspective. Medication, surgery, therapy, etc are tools that can help with weight loss. They aren't a magic bullet and losing weight requires effort and commitment with or without them. They shouldn't be pushed on others and no one should be discouraged from using them. Respect that the journey is a personal one.
