Hello Everyone,
Well, I've decided to get serious about this journey TODAY! I have been dipping my toe in this water for long enough. Today is the day that I have decided to dive in. Over the past year since the onset of this COVID season, I have allowed myself to get discouraged and checked out. Well no more. I have put on too much weight and my clothes are not fitting and my body looks too big and old for my young mind. I want to live an active lifestyle and slim down to a healthier me. Today is the day! Thank you for all the encouragement and help along the way. Be blessed!4 -

Don’t you need rest days? I have never heard of people running every day. Is that common or are you promoting every day running? I used to run most days when I was 15-25 (20 yrs ago). I bought a treadmill 6 mo ago and am running 5km 3x a week. I’m working on adding more days!
@jmolina1920 so I do run everyday, but the key for me to not get injured is to make sure a lot of my moles are at an easy/ relaxed pace. This keeps me healthy. I’m not saying it’s for everyone, but I know it’s somewhat common. A lot of people with too streaks that last several years. Just need to balance your runs and maintaining body1 -
I used to run a lot too. At my peak I ran 4-5 5k's a week. I wouldn't be able to do that every day but I could see doing 2 miles a day or something at a relaxed pace. However it is hills for days everywhere where I live, so that makes it a bit more daunting.0

Hi everyone! I'm here for round 2. I had success in the past, but also went too aggressively. I'm back now and committed and already am seeing progress after a week and a half1

Hi, I'm Miller. I came over from SparkPeople. I had total knee replacement surgery six weeks ago (had the other knee done 3 yrs ago) so am just starting to feel much better with less pain and more function. My plans for the remainder of the summer are to eat when hungry, stop when full (not overly so), and walk or read inspirational books when in need of emotional comfort (instead of eating!). I'm joining the BLC Challenge this fall and am looking forward to that. Now that I have two good knees for the first time in a decade, I want to make walking my new hobby. My family and I have decided, together, that we want more veggies in our meals and no more buying empty calorie foods. I look forward to learning about everything myfitnesspal has to offer and in supporting others on their healthy journeys, too.2

Hi, first time ever trying something like this. I'm 148kg, do water walking almost every day, eat less than 1000 calories/day and drink 2litres of water but still can't lose weight. This program is telling me I need to eat 2120 calories a day and I'm wondering if that is right. Anybody else feeling this way?0

Good evening folks. For most of my life I've been big, but never let it limit me. With age (today is my 45th), size has caught up with me, so I'm serious about losing weight and improving general health. Goal is to lost 100 by my next birthday, and about twice that, long term. Nice to meet everyone!1

Thank You for your warm welcome0

Hi everyone 👋🏼 I joined mfp a few years ago but never got the hang off it. I’m now back and ready to take on the challenge 💪🏼 My weight gain has just crept on slowly from having my children and I’ve tried various diets with some success but I’m never able to stick to them. I’m really going to try hard and keep motivated this time though.
Would love to make new friends and we can motivate each other 🥰0 -

Hi, All! Back to focusing on dropping the last 20# after only playing around with the idea the past year or so. Have found myself newly single and with the necessary time to focus on myself and my health.0

Hi everyone
I have literally just deleted all my history and deleted my account from 2 years ago and restarted a new one all together. I have 27lb to lose to get back to my target weight after a 5st gain due to medication. I am 3st down so far but that's happened over 2 years now. Need the rest moving. I need help and support. With fitness and meals. I need meal plan ideas, I need friends and I need prompting to eat meals at meal time. Any help and support that anyone can offer will be accepted kindly and with much appreciation.
Thank you 😘2 -
Hello everyone, just joined the Premium section. Need to loose 30kg after having bubba 10years ago. Nearly lost all of it just after I had him, but having a job where I sit most of the time hasn't helped. Lost 7kg in 3.5 months earlier this year, but after donating blood, iron plummeted, then we were in lockdown again (Melbourne, Aust). Got back into the gym for 2 weeks, then another lockdown. Hoping the next 5 months I can loose 20kg. I know it is a big ask considering I am 48yrs old, but determined to do it with exercise at home if need be. I was going to the gym 5-6 times a week and really miss it - it is my mental health plan.
Hoping the premium offers things that can help.1 -
I joined MFP years ago but it sat...as did I. No more time for sitting. I am codependent when it comes to fitness so I'll be trying to break free of that mindset.2

I'm new to MyFitnessPal after deciding I need to take weight loss more seriously. I hit my highest weight in June of 255 pounds, and now I'm at 245. I'm finishing up college this year and implementing a short-term goal of getting down to 215!
The biggest issue I'm having is stopping snacking; if anyone has any tips on how to curb hunger when cutting calories, let me know! Also, the majority of my weight is in my belly. Exercise and diet tips to lose belly fat specifically would also be welcome!1 -
Can we be friends?0

Hi all, metta to everyone 🌱
I'm 27 skinny ectomorph, I've been into fitness for near about 7 year's, but never really gained enough weight that I could be proud of myself that I did a progress, that never really happened, now due to covid scenario from near about 2 year's gym's r shut & I'm into bodyweight, I don't feel like working out & eating had always been a big hurdle for me, I'm starting again in hope of being better again with fresh start & first thought that popped in mind is to be accountable here, because accountability actually creates a positive impact. Hope to continue this accountability thing regularly1 -
Again starting after 2 years.1

Restarting MFP after a 5 years and lots of weight gain, mostly from medication, restarting and need to loose 83lb.

I go to the USDA database when I get inconsistent answers here and then find the one in the MFP database that most nearly matches the USDA or just enter the USDA numbers as a new food. It's here... "https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/". Hope that helps.1
