    Hello there, I'm newish user, cause I use Myfitsnesspal since 2017, but with not consistency. Now the lockdown took me very hard on my weight, so I decided re-take MyFitnessPal to get in shape again. o:)

    Best wishes, from Chile

    XOXO

    I have used this app before, but it's been a few years. Decided to get back at it because I had a stroke recently (I'm only 30!) I need to start watching cholesterol and blood sugar, and it wouldn't hurt to watch my sodium and lose a few pounds. I'm hoping to use this app more to track my nutrition than as a weight loss tool, but I imagine the two will go hand in hand!

    Hello! It's been a few years for me as well since I have used this app, but after putting on the quarantine lbs, and with summer right around the corner, I figured it was time to come back to the skinny side. I'm 5'9 and 148, I hope to get back to my slim 135 over the next couple of months. I look forward to sharing the progress with the community and seeing all of y'alls as well! :)

    Hello, I am Myra, and really looking for some friends to help keep me on track. I do not know a lot about how much carb, protein and fat percentages that I should be consuming. I need to lose about 130 lbs. I am type 2 diabetic and have pcos. Someone help?? Lol. But really, I could use some friends to talk to about this stuff.

    Hi Myra...I can help cheer you on, but your first decision is to log in everyday and fill in your food diary. There are great MFP articles on Macro's (short for carb,proteins, and fats) you are consuming. That is why the food diary is great to log...it could be your benchmark. Dedication to log everyday, will help with the "habit"..something small...I friend requested you :):)

    Hello!! I have used the My Fitness App in the past. But, I haven't been an active participant in chats and on boards. My goal is to be more active in the community pages and hopefully become more accountable and motivated. Here's to a fruitful 2021 and a goal weight by 2022!!

    Hey guys, my name is Josie.
    I’m 22 and am from central Canada. I have been on a weight loss journey for the past two months and it’s really been trying me lately. The novelty of exercise and religiously logging food has lost its novelty and some community would be dope. I need to lose big and I’m 1/5 of the way there. It would be nice to have a few people on my team that I could cheer for and support as well.

    Send me a request and a message!! 💕
    All love,
    Josie

    Hi Priscilia, I am Deb...I *love* doing Zumba...and recently started up again. I want to become stronger because I have weak bones (Osteoporosis), but have no doubt I will be strengthening them...You will get down to your goal weight with all that exercise you and doing and good nutrition :) WTG!!

    @nonchalant1girl ...I love your profile photo!!! Best to you...just a small encouragement...you DO...or you DON'T...no Trying!!! I used to say I will "try". If you DON'T one day...pick yourself back up and START again....(smile)...we don't quit. An example is logging into MFP everyday!! Then you fill in your food diary. The most important "tiny task" is logging in here! When it becomes automatic, you can try another simple task...for instance "staying away from junk food" (I am talking to myself!! I am very happy that I am finally thinking like this, I am 40 plus days now off processed sugar...and no longer crave that darn sugar!! You can do it!!! We will cheer you on :):):)

    Hello! I'm not new to MFP but I'm new to taking it seriously. I have 50 pounds to lose. I've already been at it for two months, implemented changes gradually. So far I've given up alcohol, soda, fast food, and got a trainer at the gym. I have my first meeting with a nutritionist tomorrow and I'm feeling motivated right now. My momentum tends to ebb and flow so please add me so I can follow you and get motivation from you! :)

    Hi! I've used FitnessPal before, but have been absent for quite awhile. Now I'm back and ready to go! I find that keeping track of my food intake and exercise really helps me stay accountable. (Especially the food tracker!) I'm just wondering about the database though. How do I add an item from the database to my daily exercise list? There's no "Add" button! Any suggestions/help would be appreciated - thanks!
