I started one year ago today...
I gained 80 lbs over the 10 years after college. It happened so slowly that I never even saw that I had changed so much, but now I see it. Honestly i avoided having my body seen by a camera for a few years so I don't have many comparison photos to "showcase" my progress. I started MFP 365 days ago, 36 years old, 5'4 and…

How long did it take you?
To hit that goal weight. For example, If you wanted to lose 50lbs by losing half a pound a week would it take you a little over 2 years? Was it quicker or slower than MFP predictions?

I've lost 165 lbs and 10 more to go.
On Nov.13th 2017 my wife took me to the emergency room. I thought I had pneumonia or bronchitis. They quickly discovered that I was in AFib. That day changed my life. I weighed in at 390.2 lbs. Today I am down to 225.6 lbs with a goal weight of 215 by my one year anniversary of going to the hospital. I owe a lot of my…

Bulking
Hello my MFP fam! Thank you everyone for your support and motivation. I couldn’t have done it without ya all and there’s still a long way to go but I feel good about the support and lucky to get the guidance. Started hitting the gym when I weighed just under 100 lbs, abnormally skinny but didn’t give up. Gained 40 lbs, for…

1 year photo comparison! 3 months MFP!
OK here goes! Heres a 1 year comparison pic! I started MFP in November but fell off the wagon pretty quickly... 20th April I restarted and have been pretty good the last 3 months (I won't deny I have not been overly strict!) Mixed with watching what I eat, eating back my exercise calories, running 2-3 times a week and…

My toxic and manipulative relationship motivated me to start working out again! Im 42.4lbs down!
For 6 years of my life i was in a relationship that seemed incredibly loving and real or so seemed. At the core of it there were so many lies and toxicity.She(56) was much older and took advantage of my(28) naivety and trusting nature. I was so blinded by love that i did not even notice all the control and manipulation.…

NSV- I climbed a mountain
Long story short, I was an overweight kid with a low activity lifestyle. Never moved unless I had to and even then I'd consider alternatives. Graduated college at 240lb and decided that was probably not a good thing as I'm just 5'4. Joined curves, started tracking and got down to 155. That was the lowest I'd weighed since…

If I can do it, you can to!
The pictures are ten years and 70 pounds apart. Lots of logging, exercising, stopping and starting over in between. Still working on toning but I am happy in my body. The moral of the story is believe in yourself!

I've lost 20 pounds!
Hello, I just thought I would touch base with people out there and let you know that I've had a little success, so far so good. I started April 30th 2020 and have lost just over 20 pounds. I'm eating around 1600 calories a day and I weigh myself every two weeks. There are times when I eaten more or less than 1600 calories…

My Success Story
Hopefully my story can give anyone who needs it some motivation to stay positive and keep trying! My weight was always a little higher than normal throughout childhood, but loneliness and depression made my weight balloon to almost 18st by the time I was 18 years old. When I was about to start university, I made the…

More PCOS weight loss progress!
Picture on the right was taken this morning. I’m just speechless... I’m very proud of how far I’ve come. It was a tough climb but I’m so glad that with each fall, I got back up again and persevered. Still got a long way to go but I’m happy with my progress. ❤️

58lbs lost in 4 months
Hi, I’m new to this App but since March 20th I’ve lost 58lbs. Just to say all I did was walk 20,000 steps 7 days a week and eat no more than 1,200 calories a day. I found I was losing between 3-4lb a week consistently. It was slow and boring but if consistent not that difficult really. It’s made me obsessed with the scales…

Celebrating One Year and 115lbs down - New 8wk push to peak fitness for B-Day
I celebrated the one-year mark of this little project on Sunday. To date I am down right around 115lbs, from 320ish to 205ish. I have been getting a ton of great exercise this summer but admittedly my diet has waned in the past couple of months with far more "adult beverages" and fat/sugar intake. My weight has been steady…

35lb down,getting there!!
35lb down since the 6th of January, I’ve gone from a UK 16 to a big 10.some days may be hard but it will be worth it in the end, I would still like to loose around 10lbs to be the right weight for me. The best advice I could give anyone is that you need to be ready,there were so many times I tried to diet but I just wasn’t…

What can calisthenics do for you? Let me show you.
One quick note – PLEASE do not turn this into a debate of weightlifting vs. calisthenics/bodyweight strength training (it is not at all my intention to imply that one is better than the other). The “lift heavy” mantra is very popular on MFP, that’s obvious – but for those of you who don’t necessarily have heavy lifting…

Lost 8 pounds in 4 weeks using this app I wish I'd found about this earlier!
The last 10-15 pounds is always the toughest to shed and I've been struggling with this remaining "skinny fat" for the past 2 years. This app really does the trick. I started out at around 150 about 3 years ago but unfortunately I don't have any pics. The first 15 pounds came off very quickly and then I plateaued at around…

FB Memories Success!
This mornings FB memories actually made me happy for once. A year ago I posted about being 25lbs down and I was pretty dang happy but today at around 60lbs down I’m blissful! I still have about 30lbs to go but the confidence in my body is growing. I have got to get my butt in gear with the home work outs since the gym is…

16 lbs in 14 days
Just want to say thanks to Myfitnesspal for allowing the use of this website, and that, thus far - it's working! I started off at 177 lbs (not the 174 I put on my check-in as I was embarrassed) but now I am at 161 in just 14 days later. The first 8 days, I shed 12 pounds. The only wish I have, is they had a place to put in…

My 7 month transformation
Hey guys, So I was a big alcoholic after my breakup. From 2017-2019 I just drank the first 2 years of college. Messed up my GPA. Was in a really bad mental space and just ate *kitten* food. So 13th November 2020 I turned 20 years old and I looked into the mirror and saw this belly staring right back at me. Something was…

1 Year of Logging - Success!
I've reached one year of logging with myfitnesspal, and 11 months of weight lifting consistently. It has not been easy, I have fallen off track, failed, and picked myself back up more times than I can count. Most of all, even on days where I 'blew it' calorie wise, I still logged. The first picture was my starting point,…

Skinny fat
6 months between photos. Slow progress because I had no idea about lifting or nutrition, so many stop starts. I have only started counting macros in the last 2 weeks, so am pretty keen to see future progress!

I lost 1 pound
I know it seems too little but I am really excited and I wanted to share. I have started counting calories, weighing my food with food scale, logging and keeping it in 1200-1400 range. It has been just 10 days but initially I gained 3 lbs and truth to be told, I was a little discouraged but reading the forums, other…
