    Hi everyone. I'm new here and I'm still trying to figure out the app. It seems to look different on my phone every time I open it. I'm excited and nervous about the next few weeks/months, exercising isn't too much of a worry for me, it's the not eating whatever I want that scares me. Looking forward to gaining insight, inspiration and tips from others who have been successful. Good luck to everyone beginning and great job to those who have succeeded.

    Hi everyone this is third time lucky time I've been on and off this app a few times but i'm determined to stick to it this time. I'm turning 40 next year and i'm currently 32st with chronic back pain so cant walk or stand for very long with out being in pain. Lock down hasn't helped as i cant get to see my doctor or even go to the gym until now. I'm hoping to get a few stone off before my birthday next year

    Welcome to all the newcomers, and those jumping back in.

    Being that you've all apparently found the forums.... use them! There are plenty of good resources for most of the common questions, though I haven't seen a thread where we have found great 0 calorie donuts yet.

    Just about anything else is covered at some point. And just about every situation, goal, hurdle, or success story as well. And the plus is that nobody here is trying to sell you something, so the advice is free, usually much more realistic than what you find on other sources, and doesn't require a completely insane diet and exercise routine.

    Good morning! I just joined MyFitnessPal yesterday. I am excited, nervous and ready! I was part of weight watchers but I do not like the way the program handles clean and whole foods. I don't understand counting huge points for avocados, good fats and nuts.....all the things I love consuming!!!

    I am starting this new journey and I hope this program and app will fit my needs a lot better! So here I go!!!!!

    Hi. I gained the Covid 40!! I need to lose. So I am looking for friends to help me stay motivated. I am usually the cheerleader. Never putting myself first. The older I get the harder it seems. At end of the April ('21) I had 2 surgeries on my hand and I think I am pre-diabetic.

    Hi! I am new to MyFitnessPal and am very excited! I am here to maintain my current weight and eating habits, and tone. I figured the best way to ensure I do that is to couple my workouts with tracking macros. I have always been hesitant to track macros for fear that I will become too obsessed and will let it rule my life and every single thing I eat...but I figured I would give it a shot and see what happens! Good luck to everyone on their journeys :)

    Hi Everyone!

    Starting MFP again. I lost a good amount of weight to have a baby. I had our beautiful girl in March of 2020. Thanks to postpartum and pandemic, I've gained it back and then some.

    Looking for friends and motivators!

    Best wishes to you all 💪

    Hi Guys,

    Started using this app consistently the last 5 months or so. Last 2 months I’ve made an effort to record my eating and some of my training. I’m really looking to match my efforts by making a few friends in the community. It’s always more fun when you have friends on here. I have 0 lol, so please add me.

    Thank you :)

    Hi all, I'm Stewart, 34 and from Scotland

    A little bit about me for context. I have been on a diet and fitness program now for just over 2 months and I've lost 1.5stone in weight (10kg)
    My starting weight was 18 stone 00lbs (114.3kg) and I'm now 16stone 6lbs (104.3kg)

    I've been taking part in virtual challenges to help keep me motivated and completed 3 so far and currently doing my 4th. I power walk mainly as my exercise as I'm still too heavy to run - trust me my poor knees didn't like it when I started off! On average I go 6.5km / 4 miles.

    I've only been on the app a few days and I'm loving it so far

    So yeah, that's my story, feel free to come say hi share your journey, follow each other and support each other!

    Looking forward to talking to you amazing people real soon

    Hey all, new here, many years on WW without much success. They have changed the plan so much that points have little relationship to actual calories so gave it up and came here where you can measure calories in and calories out in a way that makes sense. I’ve lost about #30 and have about #30 to go. Have had that to go for about 5 years 🙄and just need to pay a little more attention. Thanks for ‘listening.’

    Hi, I've just started with MFP. I'm a 65 year old female with RA and COPD. The RA is controlled with diet so I take no medications, thankfully. Also I am really into body building. I only started 2 years ago, & I love having muscles - its also great for controlling COPD. I came to this app as I've decided I need to start cutting & lose about 5 kg of fat, & MFP makes it much easier to keep track of my macros.
