    New to the community section of MFP.
    I’m 59 and lost 40lbs but looking to lose another 22lbs to hit what I have as a target weight.
    My fitness goal is to be in the best shape I’ve ever been in when I hit 60. I have 10 months to go and so far I’m still on track. Started 1.5 years ago. Starting out it was more of a chore but over time it has become an addiction. Thanks to earlier COVID shutdowns, I now have a home gym where I workout 5 days a week. Mostly strength training with very little cardio. I hope to meet some like minded people here to share the experience with.

    How do you post a topic ? Fitbit is easier to navigate but the watches suck . Apple Watch is better

    I could learn a lot from you, in that I too am trying to lose tons of weight (50 to 75 lbs to be exact). But my routines are the opposite of yours: I do loads of cardio, but hardly any strength. I can’t stay still long enough. I need to move.
    So I think we could help each other.

    Hello. I'm William Main. I was born in November of '56. I'm a retread. I've been a member of other groups on here before. I'm about to start the Mediterranean Diet and try to lose a little more weight. I just left WW, which I like, but I want to try this for awhile as I love some of the foods that are very high in points on WW. I'm a father of 3, grandfather of 5 and husband of one for the last 39 years. Hope to meet more of you here soon! God bless.

    Hello all,
    I have used MFP off and on for years, but just realizing the community aspect. I am totally needing some accountability buddies. I run and try to workout daily (super consistant with running, but lack motivation to be consistant with the other stuff), and have gotten a tad lazy with my diet. I'd love to meet some new like-minded people to motivate each other!

    That is what is great about this community, everyone has something to offer someone else. It doesn’t matter what stage of this we are in each of our experiences has some benefit to someone else.
    Digging deeper into my story-
    When I started out I was doing a lot of cardio in the beginning as well. I had to do that just to build my endurance. It was so challenging that I often thought of sitting in my car in the parking lot and then driving home to tell my wife I did my workout. I NEVER though I had it in me to stick with it. Here I am 1.5 years later and going at it harder than ever!
    I slowly built up my cardio time and then started to take time away by added strength training. I found what has worked for me with excessive and eating habits was that I was not committed enough to follow someone else’s plan. I have researched so many different opinions and plans and slowly adapted things from them to develop what I could commit to and what has given me the results I was looking for. I do feel that had I committed to someone else’s plan I could be further along in this process, but I also could and most likely would have thrown in the towel by now.
    The biggest thing for me is that I never set a lofty goal. I just want to be consistent and make small gains and enjoy the process!

    So I say all that to say that it sounds like you are on track to making positive progress. The key to weight loss is watching our calorie intake. We can do all the exercise, cardio and strength but if we are not in a caloric deficit we will not lose that fat that we have accumulated. Are you using the calorie tracker as well?

    Hello! I'm 19 years old. I've used this application for a few years and lost 20 kilograms but during quarantine I took a break and deleted my old account. We are still in quarantine here but I want to start fresh. I am looking forward to losing another 20 kilograms. Does anyone want to be buddies? Add me! 🖤

    Hi, my name is Jennifer and I have used this app for many years, each to certain degrees. I am back to using it as a full on tool again. I lost 70lbs the last time I did and I am looking forward to do so again. I am an avid weightlifter and split cardio times between running 5Ks and cycling, but I broke my right wrist in several places and it took me out of commission for 6 months. I also suffer from PCOS and have put on a lot of weight in the 6 months off. Looking forward to getting back on track. Taking my weightlifting, cardio and dieting back to basics.

    Thanks!
