    Hello, I am hitting the wall since July, my weight and body fat won't decrease whatever I do watch diet and exercise regularly, and thought of taking friends' support here. Thank you.

    Once you download the app, click the 3 bards on the top left--click diary--click 'add food' under meal --scanner located at the top right.

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I too had no idea as to where the barcode scanner "thingy" was!!! You made my day! (laughing... which is kinda sad when a person gets that excited over finding the barcode scanner, isn't it? ;) ) But it really did make my day, so THANK YOU! <3

    Life can change quickly. I lost 70 pounds four years ago thanks to this app. I've had extremely difficult year due to a severe medical condition. I am leaning to live again and here to loose another 30 pounds. I know it's going to take longer this time but I know I can do it and so can you!

    Looking forward to mutual support!

    Although the date says I have been a member for a long time, I am new here. I began this journey the beginning of 02/2021 after fighting for years to try to lose any weight at all. After reaching 247 lbs at my heaviest I had enough. I am on a journey to lose 100 lbs. I am currently at 214 lbs!! Y'all feel free to add me to your journey as I will add you to mine also! Friends are great!!

    Hello All! I am new to the community after many failed attempts to lose weight on my own. I lost weight in college, but I've since lacked the discipline needed to buckle down and lose weight again. In hopes of meeting accountability partners that want to see each other reach our goals. Also, I am a fan of weight lifting and strength training. Anyone looking to build muscle and lose weight I would love to chat. :) Even if those are not the goals, I am here to soak in all the knowledge and positivity towards a happy, healthy, and active lifestyle.

    Hello everyone! I am a newbie here, and ready to kick this! In January I weighed in at 240. In April I was 222. Today I got on the scale and am now 178. I have been hitting the gym and doing tons of walking and bike riding and I LOVE it! I have not felt this happy or confident in decades. I am 61 now and want to live a long and healthy life! Loving this site and the people already! And looking forward to getting to know everyone!

    Hello you all. I have been using MFP for some years now, not regularly though until recently. Have not been on this message board before. Have trouble with my weight and need some motivation.

    Hey MFP friends! My name is Debbie & I have been a silent, inactive member of MFP for a while. I appreciate the invite to this group. Hoping to make friends & share this journey. I obviously can't do this alone, hence I am starting over! Cheers!

    Hello all, I'm new here. I started my weight loss journey in 2019. I weigh 243 lb at the time. I work with an endocrine specialist to fix my unhealthy gut and I dropped down to 198 lb and felt great again. I was unable to lose any more weight put about 10 to 12 lb back on a year later. I started working with an Endocrinologist who put me on Phentermine and topiramate. I lost the 10 to 12 pounds I had gained and still just hovered around 198 lb. Was not been able to lose any since. The medications quit working so I weaned off of them and my regular doctor sent me to see her nutritionist who wants me counting my macros. I started counting my macros about a week and a half ago and today I weighed in at 193.4. I'd love to weigh 150 lb again. I hate counting, weighing, and tracking food, but I'll give it a go. Having a hard time hitting my numbers because it's a lot of protein. Need help with high protein lower fat lower carb foods.
  • Hi Everyone,

    I’m new to MFP and am looking to shed about 80 pounds that I gained on a medication for my nervous system. I’ve been using MFP for two weeks and have been able to shed 3 pounds without exercise. I’m looking to incorporate weight lifting into my daily routine and am welcoming any tips, motivation, knowledge, etc. Feel free to friend me as I am a very warm and supportive person. Good luck to everyone on your weight loss journey!

    Just FYI, especially for the new folks - MyFitnessPal has disabled the Add Friend feature. It's sort of like taking a 2x4 to a mosquito, but should cut down on friend requests from scammers and spammers - I hope they're able to figure out how to do the latter while restoring the former, but it's not you, if you can't figure out how to make Add Friend work. It simply doesn't work.

    Meanwhile, if you're human (and again, in the HOPE that they will restore the feature, not disable it permanently because they can't figure out how to stop fake accounts from happening), I'd suggest adding enough info to your personal profile to look like a real human being and make that public (OR "myfitnesspal members only") - keeping your news feed (status updates) "friends only".

    Many of us will decline all friend requests from accounts that are missing any profile info, or have only a duck-lips selfie (or worse).

    Morning Everyone.
    I'm a mum of 3 who's desperately trying to juggle work, kids, housework plus get healthy and loose nearly 6st.

    Hi, I'm starting up...again ;) and wanting to gain support because I struggle to stay on track. I've done all the local groups, Slimming World, WW etc to no, long term effect. I really like MFP as nothing is forbidden and it makes me move my butt to gain calories. I live in Surrey, UK. I'd love it if there was a local group that get together to support each other but online works too. To add, I'm 50 now which seems to make loosing weight even harder! :p
