Hi everyone 😊

This is such a huge community, I hope I can find some people to chat with and help each other stay focused on goals. I have lived a healthy lifestyle since I was 14 years old and I'm now 27, so I'm used to staying healthy, active, and trying to maintain my weight. I've actually read a lot on my fitness pal for years and just now created an account! 😂 I had my first child a year and a half ago and still trying to drop 10 pounds. So I'm really hoping a community can help me out right now as I live in a new town with no friends and during this pandemic this is insanely hard to stay motivated for me! I just got back into weight lifting and I'm feeling excited to get my body back. 💪

Ive been a member for over a year... and I've been using the app for a couple of years. Ive just started to really use it though. Ive changed my mindset and outlook. Im going to be carrying on with the amazing journey i have started.

Hello everyone. I NEED YOU HELP. I need the extra motivation. Please add me as a friend. And lets help each other during this lifestyle

I'm not new per say. I've had the app for years but never really did anything with it. Just started getting serious about what I'm eating this past month (turns out I have gluten sensitivity). I think I have a good plan going and I think this plan is doable.

Hi guys, Im Hannah. Looking to maintain and tone. I will take any support and help I can get because I definitely need it!

Been active since May and always looking to make new friends! Please feel free to add me. Look forward to supporting you on your fitness journey! 😃

Feel free to add me

Hey everyone! I've used MyFitnessPal on and off in the past, but I'm looking to use it more effectively to help reach my goal along with help others achieve theirs'. I'm in Los Angeles, California. Reach out if you want to be friends!

Hey everyone! I'm so happy to be on the app again! I've used it on and off for years. I'm from Texas (currently in Utah) and I'm looking for a way to keep myself accountable. My goals is to lose around 30 pounds, but overall I just want to feel healthier and happier! My biggest culprit is my diet currently. I have a major sweet tooth and it's been a major issue in my fitness goals. I'm hoping to find support and healthier recipes here! To a wonderful rest of 2020!

Hi! I need motivators! I need someone to hold me accountable. I keep getting on the wagon and falling off! High energy, welcome! I am 38, 39 in less than a month and I am not where I want to be at all. I need help!!! I need to lose about 30lbs, possibly more. I haven't stepped on a scale in a very long time...kinda scared too!

Hey girl! It seems like 30lbs is the goal around here lol I'm trying to lose 30lbs as well. I'd love for us to work together and hold each other accountable to get this weight outta here!! Are you in the US? And if so where do you live? I'm from NJ. Anyway, let's do this thing! Lmk if you would like to partner up.

Hi everyone

I recently got out of hospital after getting my arm sliced open during a very violent, drunken altercation. I'm guessing the picture is too gruesome to be posted here.
I was waiting for surgery for four days with no food or drink and the helicopter kept bringing in emergencies. I came out with 14 external stitches, and quite a few internal stitches.
I have quit drinking in a big way.
When I first saw myself in the mirror, I was shocked. My gut was distended, and I have virtually no muscle. When I was drinking I just didn't notice or care. I thought "holy *kitten*, has my girlfriend been putting up with this as well?".
I have had disabling chronic pain which led to a decade long Oxycodone addiction, and sometimes weeks spent in bed. I slowly weaned myself down from 1,000mg/day to 10mg/day; a most painfully horrendous experience!
I used alcohol in conjunction with oxys to kill pain. It's very seductive as together they work ten times better than either one alone.
I'm a vegetarian who often eats vegan and occasionally will eat ethical seafood.
Since restarting MyFitnessPal I have been losing about a kg a day! I think that must be something to do with reduced fluid retention.
I live in a place with no Covid cases. Right next to the beautiful Noosa River, about a five minute cycle away from Noosa Main Beach and the spectacularly beautiful National Park.
There's no excuse for me to not get out and exercise every day. Unless my pain flares up.
I'm 5'10". Was 96kg ten days ago when I got out of hospital; currently 90.4kg. My ultimate goal is 75kg.
Sincere thanks to anybody who bothered to read this long-winded and downbeat rave. 💖

Back again!! Get this *kitten* into gear

Hello all, back on MFP, on and off since 2011. Now, at 59, happily retired, serious about lengthening and improving my active life. 28 kg down since January 10th 2020 and another 10 kg to go to my 23 year old weight at the end of my National Service! Have fun all!

Hi, I got my account some time ago but actually never was active here. A recent life made me think of a change and start doing something for me and start loving me more. I am a new way of eating, exercising and I feel excited about these recent changes I am doing.

Happy to be here.
