Getting Serious About my Health
Hi y’all, I’m 38, live in NC and am getting serious about my health due to some recent health issues. I’m plus size and haven’t worked out in around 6 years 🥴. Would love to befriend some other women with the same issues so we can motivate and encourage/educate. My husband and I joined our local YMCA last night so excited…

Need friends to keep me going
Trying to take back my health after spending 50 days in the hospital and having 15 surgeries thanks to my Type 2 diabetes and a very faulty glucose meter. I'm still recovering so I have to go slow but am doing well walking, playing the game Pokémon Go (please don't judge, it's fun lol) and watching what I eat. Just looking…

Is Video Documenting Weight Loss Actually a Motivator?
I have mixed feelings on this... I've followed some people who do this that just stop making progress losing weight and then make videos about food. I've seen some who go all the way. I'm absolutely not looking to be instafamous (I work a real job and I'm earning my BA). I was just curious what the consensus is on this?…

Breaking the binge / delete / create new account cycle
Sometimes I feel like an addict! As soon as I stray from my perception of a healthy day (even just a little), I go full throttle vacuum mouth mode. I've read a bit about binge-eating, and I understand that it isn't about the food as much as it's about the binge... but I can't seem to break the cycle. It's almost like, as…

Weight Loss Journey - Starting Over
Hello everyone! :) I'm Susu. I'm 33, 5'10'' and I'm here to talk about my weight loss journey. I weigh 343 lbs and my goal is to reach at least 200 lbs. I'd be very happy with that being that I'm tall. I'm not sure if an accountability partner is what I'm looking for. As a matter of fact, I don't know what I'm even doing.…

Big climb ahead!
Hey folks :) Gonna give MFP a whirl. Back in 2022 I was laid-off from Shopify and immediately started my own business creating corporate training experiences using comedy as a learning tool.

Starting Over
Hello all! My name is Nikki. Last year, my son, Jack, and I left my ex after a very messy, scary break-up and I’ve spent this past year focused on Jack.

Post pregnancy weight loss
Support needed! I’ve lost nearly 4 and a half stone since having my daughter almost 18 months ago which is great! But I find I’m so tired every day that it’s a struggle to calorie count, make healthy choices or exercise more. Think I need some accountability! I’m UK based so please add 😊

Workout partners/accountabilibuddys
Hi just curious do people prefer working out by themselves or with a partner or group or even trainer? I have made quite a bit of progress over the summer by myself but I do miss working out with my uni's weightlifting society - I just find it more fun and energising and I have people to correct my form etc. For privacy I…

What to do at the gym?

Reading MFP stats
Wondering if anyone can help... looking at my weekly stat, the calories burned are much lower than calories consumed. Is this not accounting for the daily calories that my body uses just to exist? Or do I not have a calories deficit at all?

Friends make MFP more interesting!
Hello, everyone! I'm April, a 35-year-old Texas native. I'm here to lose weight, just like most people here. It's been a while since I last used MFP. I never thought I'd want to count calories again, but it's the only thing that seems to be effective when combined with exercise. So, here I am, hoping to make friends who…

Calories confusion
In the daily category of calories that is calories=food+excercise -remaining etc those amount of calories do we need to burn or do we need to eat.

No need to worry, I am not a real Wookiee
Pretty big Star Wars fan here, have been my entire life. I also enjoy Marvel and Batman. It's time to start thinking about my health and what that means for my future. Change can be hard sometimes, but when a Wookiee makes a decision, it's time for action. Looking for some motivational and accountability partners.
