Four Years on MyFitnessPal
This past Friday, August 30 2024, was my 4 year MFP anniversary!! I’m proud of myself for sticking with it through the ups and downs. I honestly feel MyFitnessPal has helped me to become a better and healthier (and happier) version of myself. 😀

5'8-5'11 women before/after pics?
Looking for preferrably large framed women of those heights with their before/during/after pics for some motivation. If you could also post what body frame you have if you know, that'd also be great. Thanks in advance!

Have you told anyone that you were on a diet?
Did you just start your diet by yourself? I did… and after losing 16 lbs I noticed friends looking at me differently. What’s your story ?

Would really like to join in
I have been off this wagon for a few months now and my stats from weigh-in are awful. Protein, water and muscle are down. Needless to say the wrong readings are up. I would really like to be accountable for my choices and if a nudge from you kind folks is necessary please feel welcome. I am in my late 60s so I now its time…

Success! The road to a healthier me.
In February of 2012 I was at the doctor’s and my blood pressure kept setting of the alarm on the machine, they put me on a scale and I found out I weighed 207lbs. This shocked me, I knew I was overweight but I did not know I had gotten that heavy. They put me on blood pressure medication at that time. I was 35 years old…

Put the weight on again. Started again this year.
Started again in Janurary and half way through! Doing it all differently, joined a proper gym with an instructor to tell me what im meant to do, still allowing myself chocolate and crisps. One thing I will say though is that I've only lost a stone between these two pictures which is hella demotivating...so I've thrown the…

Loose Skin: 50lbs loss at 60+, 4+ years maintenance
On my MFP friend feed, someone asked about my experience with loose skin, as someone who lost weight at 60+. Not the first time the question has come up. I decided to post a thread, being as honest as I can manage. Photos will be in spoilers, even though not indecent in technical terms (I'm wearing a tank top & short…

One Month!
I started tracking my calories and macros on 7/1. One month later, and I’m down 10.8 pounds! I have a long way to go still (starting weight was 330.2 pounds and I’m a 5’2” female), but I’m feeling great, which is almost more important to me than the weight loss itself!

Discipline is greater fuel than Motivation
I was 395+ pounds at the top of last year, I now hover around 235 pounds. Today the weather sucked... and I wasn't in the mood to workout but I got up and did my 5 mile walk to get my 10,000 feet today. These are the days that count... when you really don't wanna do it and you still do it...builds character! It builds…

Survived the "widowmaker"
I was riding in Missouri this weekend (from Minnesota) and ended up in the ER with chest and back pain. Turns out that I had apparently had a heart attack some time in the previous 24 hours. They put 2 stents in my heart. How is this a victory? In the past 6 months, I have lost 40 pounds and been walking 3-7 miles a day.…

Officially 25lbs gone
25 lbs gone today, it’s been a rollercoaster. There are changes to my face, and I can fit in my clothes I bought years ago. I was getting extremely discouraged, I knew I was eating unhealthy and my relationship was suffering. Not because my husband was turned off by my weight, but because of how differently I felt because…

14 years and 50 lbs gone!
When I started using MFP I had no idea I would still be here recording steps and food and meeting people 14 years later. This morning the app told me that I have lost 50lbs!! 🥳 This makes me both very proud and very happy. There were many years of frustration, successes, increases and injuries. But, clearly I didn’t give…

NSV and more!
I went to Jamaica with friends last month and wore two-piece bathing suits!!!! I would have never had the self-confidence to do that before losing 57 lbs. I bought a small trampoline (rebounder) for my office and am watching youtube videos and working out for 30 minutes a day and it's really helping me break through my…

Starting over alcohol free
Today is day 15 alcohol free. Starting over with diet and exercise today. About a year and a half or so ago, I went a couple of months with no alcohol and dieting and exercising regularly. Lost 20+ pounds, and then one day, decided margaritas would be a good idea. Well, that ended December 3 when I was detoxing so bad I…

Huge NSV - Post COVID cardio goal met
I know you all will get what a huge success this is. I had COVID in October 2023. I did several months of physical therapy before my doc and PT thought I could start light cardio on my own. When I started, I would get winded just walking from the car to the gym. It's been 6 months, and I've had a huge breakthrough in the…

Almost there!
In January 2004 I weighed 292 lbs and in 2006 I was around 285 and when diagnosed with diabetes, high cholesterol and triglycerides. I lost about 20 lbs right away and then hit a wall where I was around 250 to 260 for years. In 2021 I started trying to lose weight again and by 2022 I was around 216 to 220 then hit another…

This App Works
Hi Been using this app since the beginning of January and I’ve now lost 62 pounds. What people need to understand is that diets don’t work. You need to decide one day I’m going to care about what I eat and how much I eat. I’ve cut my food intake by half and feel amazing. My blood pressure has plummeted my doctor cut my…

I see my muscles!
I used to think I struggled with consistency, but I have realized what I really struggle with is perfectionism. I used to get so discouraged and down on myself if I got off track. In the last six months or so I have really been working on that and started listening to my body more. I’ve been more accepting that life isn’t…

Now I am at my highest weight ever. I’m through my first year of nursing school and currently working full time. Convenient foods are just…
