I have lost 68 pounce since last March.8 -
Hello. Been here a couple times before and had success, especially using the calorie counter. I'm good at underestimating my intake and it really helps to have that reality check. Blew the first day by about 250 calories, and that's not bothering to take the macros into consideration. For now, I'm simply trying to gain a realistic view of how much I eat vs how much I should be eating. I'll work on the rest as I get that under better control. I'm already seeing where fruits will replace some bad choices as I start planning grocery lists better. Looking to drop about 50, maybe 60lbs, then actually learn to maintain it this time. I can always handle having friends, so feel free to add me of you like. I'll do my best to be one.0

I’m on here looking to find very motivated friends. Not looking to have the most friends, just very active and motivated friends. I’m a runner struggling to consistently strength train. I’m a fairly active person looking for accountability partners looking to get better every day. Feel free to add me if your the same way. Thanks0

Hi there! I'm 22, 5'10 tall and my current weight is 172 lbs. My goal weight is 143. I'm trying to change my lifestyle by finding healthier food options for the things I crave (ice cream bowls and chocolate) instead of completely avoiding them. I would love to make some accountability friends to avoid putting my head in the sand! I'm trying to take it slow and to be patient with myself, since I tend to be overly disciplined and end up burning and crashing when I make one ''mistake''. I want to approach this as a lifestyle change, so it might take longer, which is okay.3

A good Introduction for me Is always humorous!
Zak. I've been type 1 diabetic since age 7 and never had a problem with weight. I was 90lbs in 6th grade. I started bodybuilding and fitness in 2011 and transformed into a beast. I was 210lbs of pure muscle but always had a "beer belly" because of what could possibly be my insulin injection sites there. My life crumbled, I lost everything I had and moved into a toxic environment where I became an alcoholic through out 2020, drinking all day, every day and never even glanced at a vegetable. I recently been training MMA and was at 220lbs. I cleaned up my diet, and now have an incredible home gym. I am 200lbs now, but my goal is 180, and I want abs! Men in my family have all been weight lifters but no one has ever had abs, and I want to be the first one! My biggest downfall Is I have no support and I can barely ever sleep. I do everything alone. So, I really need your guys' help to keep me on track and motivated. I need a community. I need relationships, but more than anything, I want to help YOU!

I'm a refugee from Spark People also and find MFP's trackers very easy and quick to use. The down side is finding groups to join because of the sheer overwhelming numbers of them. To end on a positive note, have lost over 2 pounds in the 10 days I've been here so am finally losing the "pandemic pounds" I put on. Have a wonderful day!1

I need friends. I don’t know how to make friends on this app. Maybe someone will see this and friend me. I don’t understand how to friend others… I was part of this app long ago and it has changed a lot…1

You have to click on the profile name, then click on it again, before you get the option to request as a friend. I think the messaging is disabled until you are friends, but the icon is still there for it.
I'm an Android/Windows user, so if there are changes for Mac stuff someone else will have to fill you in.2 -

Hi everyone. I just wanted to say hello.
Just starting out. I lost 5 stone a few years ago but 2 back on...trying MFP for first time so fingers crossed! I have a back disorder and left leg paralysis (have to wear a leg brace) so find exercising difficult but I try to walk as much as possible everyday! My main thing is over eating so hoping this helps! Good luck and lots of positivity to everyone on here

I am new to mfp and was wondering how to log exercises for people with disabilities. I don’t really know how many calories are burned, but many of the exercises are core and designed to improve strength, muscle control and overall quality of life. Any help would be greatly appreciated.1

This is something I've come across as a bit of a problem but I've just been logging it from my Samsung health on my phone...it seems to be quite accurate and tells you at what pace you are completing things. There is also a few apps that show you pace and calories burning that are specifically for people with disabilities..
