    I'm 43, my goal weight is 120. I reached 124 a few days ago but somehow gained 3 pounds. My appetite varies, sometimes not hungry other times famished 😬
    About 10 years ago I weighed 253. I had high blood pressure and was always tired. I decided to not eat fast food and give up Coke I also decided to get more active and walked at least 30 mins a day for over a year. I have since kept off the 100+lbs. My lowest weight was 109, but I looked and felt horrible. My body is happy at 120, so that's what I'm aiming for. Blessings all😀

    That's a massive accomplishment! Congratulations! Do you have a maintenance range? It could be the three pounds is just normal hormonal weight fluctuation. Do you use a weight trending app?

    Like Lisa said, That's a huge accomplishment!!!!!!! Congratulations!! I also agree with her in that it could be just normal fluctuations.

    Hi!

    I am new to Fitness Pal and would love to support and motivate others! I need to lose 15 pounds and looking forward to sticking to my plan. For the most part I do eat healthy; however, I have let unnecessary alcohol calories overall hurt my daily totals. I am going dry in January. What are your goals?

    Does anyone want to join me to support whatever goals you are aiming for? I would like to find accountability people that would like to join in a weekly weigh in. Any one game?

    I'm 46 (soon to be 47), and as I typed that it shocked me to realize I'm almost 47! I would like to lose about 50 pounds in total, but right now I'd be happy with 30. I really want to lose the weight and get fit so I can continue to play with my grandchildren easily for many years.

    Hi everyone! I'm 42 and new to MyFitnessPal.

    A bit about me -- about four years I was diagnosed with a gluten allergy, spurring me to start eating cleaner and finally lose weight. I returned to Weight Watchers, where I was able to lose 60 lbs, reclaimed Lifetime status, and became a runner in the process.

    I unfortunately have put on a few of my pounds back since the summer due to stress. And I also have found myself struggling with WW's food limitations as I am now a half-marathoner and I work out normally twice a day, with strength training in the morning and running/Zumba in the evening. I'm now working with a sports nutritionist to lose those few pounds I gained and make sure I'm fueling myself properly, and she suggested I use MyFitnessPal.

    I'm looking forward to learning lots and continuing my fitness journey!
