Hello. My name is Susan. Am 12 lbs. to goal but have lost my motivation. Weight steadily creeping up. Fall is a bad time depression wise. Where can I find motivation?
Susan, congratulations on only needing 12 more pounds. You've done the work and proved you are capable of doing it, so when you lose your motivation, write on your mirror "look at the success you've already achieved! I gotta this! Easy peasy!" So everytime you fill in motivated go look at yourself in the mirror.
Hi 🙋♀️ first time MFP user! Started late June with a personal trainer for half an hour once a week. So far I am strength training 5 days a week, cardio on the weekends. 11,000 steps a day. And a calorie deficit! Definitely working!
Hi All! Been using the app daily since early Feb..down 55 lbs so far, and hoping for 80 eventually 60 yrs old, and been enjoying reading everyone's success stories!! up to 6 days a week in the gym, 2000 calories a day, and learned what macro's are all about
Week one down. I’ve tried this so many times before but it finally feels different. Like I’m ready to shed these extra 100 lbs. I’m praying I can do this. I’m 54 and want to be successful.

Wow! How did you stay motivated the entire time? Motivation is something that I struggle with. Not at first, but when I mess up one day, I feel like I have to start from scratch
Also, I'm new to MFP and would love to have a support group that can hold me accountable. Right now I'm on a basic calorie deficit with long walks here and there.
Hey Everyone!
I’m on day 3 of MFP and calorie counting is completely new to me 🙈🙈, previously used slimming world which worked a treat for me (I lost 5 and a half stone) but over recent years I’ve picked up some terrible habits and thought I’d give this a go. Seem relatively simple....But my goodness am I shocked by the calories in some things. I do the occasional fitness class through FiiT from home which is amazing and would highly recommend.
Looking to shift around a stone and then really get in shape.....
Hi Everyone I’m back again on here, I’m 31 2 little ones and although I’m not as big as I was I’m more miserable than ever! Feel free to add me and we can keep each other going
Hi everyone!! This is my first day on MFP. I have been on WW for a year and I've already lost 55 pounds! Im so incredibly proud of this but recently I've been stuck in a plateau. I'm hoping by double tracking on WW and MFP I can see where I can make some better choices to get out of this rut. My overall goal is 100 pounds. But my next mini goal is to lose 10 pounds by Thanksgiving. For exercise I've been doing Morning Meltdown 100 on Beach Body and I love it. I hope you all have a good week!!!
Hi everyone. Have made the decision that this next 12 months is going to be the year I lose weight and start to feel better about myself. I’m closer to 60 than 50 and want to be around for quite a lot more years. Some days I am up and away, feeling good and tackling goals then suddenly I can snap and be spiralling back a couple of paces. Hope there are people out there who understand what I’m saying. Goodbye excess weight and hellllloooooo to bringing sexy back 🙂🙂🙂
Starting fresh, looking for new supportive friends. I have lost 25 lbs without tracking food. Have 25 more to go but need to start tracking. Workout 5-6 days a week, joined boxing 3 days a week, yoga, running and Zumba the other days. Also enjoy walking my dog. Please add me also if you have Fitbit we could challenge each other.
used program in the past and now back with it again as of 10/18/19. lost a lot of weight on WW last year but have been motivated to re-join WW. I like this program since it accounts for all food consumed. Goal is to try and lose 30 pounds and keep going for a total of 50 pounds.
Hello everyone. I am an actor trying to change his life in the gym. When i was 15 years old I had that body. But now that i am 23 years old and being lazy for that past couple of years I am ready to accept my second chance into fitness. Today on 10/23/2019 I am staring a NEW Diet with this amazing site. I do hope to make friends along the way. God bless and i hope everyone stays positive in the amazing things everyone does.
Cant wait to get started. Lots to do in terms of getting fit but we can do this together. Lets do this!
First question............................... how do it do this ???!!!!
