New today, hello everyone 👋

Hello everyone! I am a newbie here, and ready to kick this! In January I weighed in at 240. In April I was 222. Today I got on the scale and am now 178. I have been hitting the gym and doing tons of walking and bike riding and I LOVE it! I have not felt this happy or confident in decades. I am 61 now and want to live a long and healthy life! Loving this site and the people already! And looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Hello you all. I have been using MFP for some years now, not regularly though until recently. Have not been on this message board before. Have trouble with my weight and need some motivation.

Hey MFP friends! My name is Debbie & I have been a silent, inactive member of MFP for a while. I appreciate the invite to this group. Hoping to make friends & share this journey. I obviously can't do this alone, hence I am starting over! Cheers!

Hello all, I'm new here. I started my weight loss journey in 2019. I weigh 243 lb at the time. I work with an endocrine specialist to fix my unhealthy gut and I dropped down to 198 lb and felt great again. I was unable to lose any more weight put about 10 to 12 lb back on a year later. I started working with an Endocrinologist who put me on Phentermine and topiramate. I lost the 10 to 12 pounds I had gained and still just hovered around 198 lb. Was not been able to lose any since. The medications quit working so I weaned off of them and my regular doctor sent me to see her nutritionist who wants me counting my macros. I started counting my macros about a week and a half ago and today I weighed in at 193.4. I'd love to weigh 150 lb again. I hate counting, weighing, and tracking food, but I'll give it a go. Having a hard time hitting my numbers because it's a lot of protein. Need help with high protein lower fat lower carb foods.

Hi Everyone,

I’m new to MFP and am looking to shed about 80 pounds that I gained on a medication for my nervous system. I’ve been using MFP for two weeks and have been able to shed 3 pounds without exercise. I’m looking to incorporate weight lifting into my daily routine and am welcoming any tips, motivation, knowledge, etc. Feel free to friend me as I am a very warm and supportive person. Good luck to everyone on your weight loss journey!

Hi there, I'm new as well. Not even sure I know how to reply to your message, lol.

Just FYI, especially for the new folks - MyFitnessPal has disabled the Add Friend feature. It's sort of like taking a 2x4 to a mosquito, but should cut down on friend requests from scammers and spammers - I hope they're able to figure out how to do the latter while restoring the former, but it's not you, if you can't figure out how to make Add Friend work. It simply doesn't work.

Meanwhile, if you're human (and again, in the HOPE that they will restore the feature, not disable it permanently because they can't figure out how to stop fake accounts from happening), I'd suggest adding enough info to your personal profile to look like a real human being and make that public (OR "myfitnesspal members only") - keeping your news feed (status updates) "friends only".

Many of us will decline all friend requests from accounts that are missing any profile info, or have only a duck-lips selfie (or worse).

I've been here a while, but always looking to give support and add supportive friends. This is a tough endeavor to do all by yourself. Feel free to add.

Hi guys! I've just joined My Fitness Pal for some serious accountability. I've been WFH since last year and even though I'm loving the flexibility, I need to get up and keep active! Counting on you all for some inspo

Not exactly a new member, but I have returned to MyFitnessPal after deleting my original account a few years ago.

Hi, I'm starting up...again and wanting to gain support because I struggle to stay on track. I've done all the local groups, Slimming World, WW etc to no, long term effect. I really like MFP as nothing is forbidden and it makes me move my butt to gain calories. I live in Surrey, UK. I'd love it if there was a local group that get together to support each other but online works too. To add, I'm 50 now which seems to make loosing weight even harder!

GrumpyDumpty

well well well, like a bad smell you thought you got rid of im back again, this time with all the gear but no idea, got myself a posh watch and some weights, makes an excellent place to hang clothes.


former member of the 100 pound club,

follow my journey for some laughs, highs and lows, and me just being funny i hope,
