Who Killed My Fitness Pal?
I was a member of My Fitness Pal years ago, and it was one of the most active, instructive, encouraging, accountability helpers around! There was always a lot of activity on my "Feed", a lot of interaction, much instruction coming from senior successful weight losers, and all around a general feel of "we're all in this…

Looking to make losing weight fun? Try the BLC challenge next round!
I started my weight loss journey in January 2023. Started just by walking, started with a mile and added a little more each week. I also started tracking my calories on MFP, I lost 15 pounds the first few months, but then was getting bored. This was my usual weight loss journey - I would get bored and then quit and gain it…

No more newsfeed-I’ve got you covered.
I created a Facebook group called My Fitness Pal-Circle Of Friends Since MFP got rid of their newsfeed you can no longer view your friends/connections achievements. The other MFP group I was part of didn’t allow you to put your user name on there to request friends. I’m creating this group so we can all post our…

What is your "Petty" Reason to Lose Weight?
I know that many of us choose to lose weight because we want to have a healthy lifestyle and feel better about ourselves, but c'mon, we also have "I'm going to stick it to X" reasons. For me, it's because I don't want to be the fat gay cousin. I want to be the hot gay cousin. I also want people's minds to be blown when I…

Support appreciated
Aloha I have been a WW for many many years and this month I started double tracking using MFP and WW. So interesting to run out of daily points but still have 700+ calories for the day. I’d love to add more friends. My user name is Chrisnginagarcia13. And if anyone else lives on Maui that would be a bonus 🌺

New beginnings
Starting (again) I've been stuck between 195# and 215# for 5 years. I get in a groove and do well for a while then crash and give up. It's been a vicious cycle. Well into menopause the weight just seems to stick. But I'm giving it another round and maybe I'll figure out the trick to my weight loss. August 7th - 212# August…

From CT
The 50’s feel so different. Scale isn’t budging. I’m tired but still making an effort to move every no matter what as part of my self-care. Really want to take off about 20 pounds so that I feel more healthy and clothes fit better. Really unsure how snd a little bit disappointed that I put this weight on to begin with.

Went over my calorie goal today ☹️
I've been dieting for just under a month or so now, I've been so strict with my habits and keeping at or below my 1200 calories a day but today I've gone over. I feel terrible. I know its not the end of the world and I will get bk on track tomorrow. Does anyone else feel terrible when they go over their limits.

Could use some support
Am at my highest non pregnant weight of 154.7 and my goal weight is 135. I want to lose the weight in the healthiest way possible but don’t want to “diet” meaning restrict, avoid food groups, be obsessive and have it be the biggest thing in my life. But if I’m not “mindful” I eat whatever I want and the weight keeps…

Is it possible?
I’m really disappointed with myself. At the beginning of the year I said I wanted to lose at least 30 pounds by the next Christmas as my New Year’s resolution. I lost 10 pounds (using this app) and then just stopped logging and gave up, I gained the weight back plus some. Now I’m 200 pounds (AGAIN) Is it possible to still…

Where’s My Post
I joined this group over a week ago and I posted an introduction and question. I have also responded to someone else’s post. When I look it says I have no posts. I did see where my response went out, but I can’t find my post. I’m wondering where it went.

Discouraged but digging in

I'm in New Orleans, 56, mother of 2, working FT now after working just PT for 20 years, so doing some shuffling! I lost 24lbs on WW last year after working the plan really hard. I lost…

Newsfeed
Well I can’t believe they have gotten rid of the newsfeed, it was a way of liking posts and commenting to others on their progress and saying well done as well as sharing our own updates and successes, or failures. Time to find a new food logging app I think and leave MFP after 9 years in total. What a shame, will miss the…
