    Hi all. I have been using MFP since March, but only now looking to join the community. I wasn't convinced that I would be able to stick to my targets as I've tried to lose weight many times over the years and never managed to make it. So far so good though and in the last 5 months I have managed to lose 51lbs. I have set an arbitrary target of losing 100lbs so I'm about half way.

    Hello Everyone! I just started on this site today. I was on Spark People for 14 years and 11 months. I've lost 100 lbs, but still have a lot to go. I'm looking to connect with some of my Spark friends as well as meeting new friends. I'm diabetic and I'm a cancer survivor. I no longer do fad diets. I yo-yo'd for years because of fad diets. Now, I'm working on healthy eating and exercise. I eat whatever I want, as long as I do portion control. That's what helped me lose the first 100 lbs.

    Started here a few weeks ago and need to understand how this site works. Over 300 SparkPeople have joined the Fall 5% Challenge that we hope to execute here. . .would love to know if I can send group e-mails (as a Challenge Leader) and/or if there is a limit to the number of people that I can send to at once.

    Hey everyone! I was tracking regularly on SparkPeople and now that the site is closed as of today, I want to keep tracking my exercise goals. I did start MFP a little while back but never really took it seriously, well now I am a newbie and will be here most of the time. Just saying hello!

    Hi I am new to this calorie counting, my Slimming World subscription ran out a few days ago. On recommendation I thought I would give this calorie counting ago. I am on my second day and I am finding it really easy. I currently weigh 21st 8lbs and would love to get to 12st. I eat mainly plant based with little meat in my diet. I love how no food is off limit.

    I have a question. Are we able to sync a fitbit with MFP? I have not been able to figure that our yet. I am using the free version of MFP.

    I am new to MFP and on the free app as well. If you go to "Me" at the bottom right, bottom of that page there is the option to connect apps & devices. Hope this Helps!

    Hello Everyone, I am a SparkPeople refugee who is happy to have found MFP. I tried Noom but it is tedious, expensive, and I didn't lose nearly the weight they had predicted when sell the program to me. I think this just what I need to lose 15-20 lbs. I find the food diary easy to use and the data base very easy but I have found some mistakes in the data which I was able to edit. how do I get this picture to turn?

    Hi all, I am a few weeks into using MFP. I started out just using the calorie counter but I’m now seeing other useful features.

    Hello. Been here a couple times before and had success, especially using the calorie counter. I'm good at underestimating my intake and it really helps to have that reality check. Blew the first day by about 250 calories, and that's not bothering to take the macros into consideration. For now, I'm simply trying to gain a realistic view of how much I eat vs how much I should be eating. I'll work on the rest as I get that under better control. I'm already seeing where fruits will replace some bad choices as I start planning grocery lists better. Looking to drop about 50, maybe 60lbs, then actually learn to maintain it this time. I can always handle having friends, so feel free to add me of you like. I'll do my best to be one.

    I’m on here looking to find very motivated friends. Not looking to have the most friends, just very active and motivated friends. I’m a runner struggling to consistently strength train. I’m a fairly active person looking for accountability partners looking to get better every day. Feel free to add me if your the same way. Thanks

    Hi there! I'm 22, 5'10 tall and my current weight is 172 lbs. My goal weight is 143. I'm trying to change my lifestyle by finding healthier food options for the things I crave (ice cream bowls and chocolate) instead of completely avoiding them. I would love to make some accountability friends to avoid putting my head in the sand! I'm trying to take it slow and to be patient with myself, since I tend to be overly disciplined and end up burning and crashing when I make one ''mistake''. I want to approach this as a lifestyle change, so it might take longer, which is okay.

    A good Introduction for me Is always humorous!
    87qgom8fmrf5.jpg

    Zak. I've been type 1 diabetic since age 7 and never had a problem with weight. I was 90lbs in 6th grade. I started bodybuilding and fitness in 2011 and transformed into a beast. I was 210lbs of pure muscle but always had a "beer belly" because of what could possibly be my insulin injection sites there. My life crumbled, I lost everything I had and moved into a toxic environment where I became an alcoholic through out 2020, drinking all day, every day and never even glanced at a vegetable. I recently been training MMA and was at 220lbs. I cleaned up my diet, and now have an incredible home gym. I am 200lbs now, but my goal is 180, and I want abs! Men in my family have all been weight lifters but no one has ever had abs, and I want to be the first one! My biggest downfall Is I have no support and I can barely ever sleep. I do everything alone. So, I really need your guys' help to keep me on track and motivated. I need a community. I need relationships, but more than anything, I want to help YOU!

    I'm a refugee from Spark People also and find MFP's trackers very easy and quick to use. The down side is finding groups to join because of the sheer overwhelming numbers of them. To end on a positive note, have lost over 2 pounds in the 10 days I've been here so am finally losing the "pandemic pounds" I put on. Have a wonderful day!

    I need friends. I don’t know how to make friends on this app. Maybe someone will see this and friend me. I don’t understand how to friend others… I was part of this app long ago and it has changed a lot…

    You have to click on the profile name, then click on it again, before you get the option to request as a friend. I think the messaging is disabled until you are friends, but the icon is still there for it.

    I'm an Android/Windows user, so if there are changes for Mac stuff someone else will have to fill you in.
