Hi, I have been looking for a diabetic grp on MFP but have only found inactive ones. Maybe, I should open my own group?! LOL... I'm newly diagnosed with T1D but could use some helpful tips as well.

Hello MFP people. It’s my first time back on the app for a very long time.
Having somewhat fallen off the fitness wagon during the pandemic I’m here for a little motivation/inspiration to help climb back on, and hopefully return the favour as well. I’m still in reasonable shape, but could do with shedding a few of those pesky covid kilos that just won’t budge, as well as improve my overall fitness.
I’m also currently at university studying health and nutrition. I am very passionate about healthy eating and love to talk shop, so I f anyone out there is likeminded or wants some advice, please feel free to add me.2 -
Been away from the app for a while and I’m just starting using it again daily. Add me if you would like!3

Hi All!
Not really new here, but here with a new attitude!
I'm tired of all the "eat this and lose 50 lbs" or "join this plan and all the fat will melt away". Nope, this time it's eat properly, and move my body everyday, in some mannner.
I have a desk job so I need to try to get in some activity at some point, but it's summer almost and that should help.
I've booked our holiday for Dec and want to be comfortable in my clothes. I don't want to spend all holiday worrying that I need to cover my tymmy or my thighs jiggle. I know that I wont be at my goal by then, but I will be well on my way. I'm thinking 85 pounds will put me in a great zone. I don't want to be skinny but I do want to be lean and strong! And at 60 y/o I want to be in a heatlhy place. So if it takes a year to get there safely and my health is improved (not that its bad but let's not tempt fate) I'm fine with that...as long as I'm losing I can live with a slower pace.
Cheers all and let's get losing!
I'd love to connect with you. I'm looking to more comfortable too... I'm on track to be lean and strong. Let's connect.0 -

Hey all! I had gastric bypass in 2015 and have regained about 50 lbs. The past few years have been tough but I’m in a good headspace now and ready to regain control. I’d love to make new friends here and be apart of helping motivate others. Feel free to add me 😃0

Hi, I'm Randi and I live in San Antonio. I've been doing WW for awhile and just need a change. I want to have more food freedom without obsessing...which has always been hard for me.
Hoping to connect with others!1 -
Hello, I am technically not "new" to mfp but returning! A lot has happened in the last couple years (multiple family deaths including my mom & sister, job loss after 10 yrs due to covid, and my husband became disabled/no longer able to work due to a car accident) and I got distracted with my weight loss efforts but now I am ready to get back on track and reach my goals!!! I still thank God for being awesome and keeping my mental health in tact!!0

MFP was started in 2016, then off, and went to another paid program. I only choose to use these programs as a support. Having lost 40 pounds I too have yo-yo'd depending on the stressors in life. I realigned my reasons to get healthy: avoid pharmaceuticals, ease the impact on joints, improve walking and balance, feel emotionally better. I started at 189.0 lbs. and now have plateaued at 150 to 155 depending on life stressors: Migrated to MFP for maintenance but I feel like 140 to 145 would suit my 5'3" medium frame better. As a second new start to MFP, I do know "do not give up on yourself." It is difficult to get healthy, given all of the inputs and information we need to process, not to mention influences that side track and de-rail the best intentions: It is a mental game and I plan on winning.0

Had my annual physical today and went over my lab results. The good news is I do not have diabetes! However, I did have warning flags on glucose, cholesterol and sodium chloride. I can control and lower these levels with a healthy diet and more exercise.
I am so glad I joined this group and am seriously making changes to ensure healthier life! BTW I am 71 yrs old.1 -

Hello everyone 👋 I have been here before, and still have some contacts from that time! I’m ‘back’ cause I want some more insight in what I eat and I always loved using this app.
Please feel free to add me, we can all use some support and motivation from time to time! Have a great start of the new week! Miranda4 -
Hi. On the countdown to my 50 and determined to be fabulous at 50....not flabby! Ive also had the 'pre diabetes' warning and my blood pressure is higher than it should be. So lots of reasons to make changes. Im looking forward to getting started (I think 🤔 🤣)3

hello, new to MFP plans, looking forward to finding inspiration to make new habits click and stick!1

Hiiii —I’m kind of a MYP yo yo user . It worked for me 5 years ago when I was tracking for 5 weeks and then I made some home made chili and it was really frustrating to log so I gave up. Tried a few times over the years but here we are again.
Also, I can’t tell if I’m making my own independent post or I’m replying to someone…sorry!4 -
Hi Crystal, I to have a long on again, off again relationship w/ MFP - but I keep coming back. I agree, about tracking homemade meals. At this point I do the best I can with estimation - and look for a reasonable substitute that is already in the database. I also try to err on the side of higher calories. For instance, today I'm meeting up w/ a friend for lunch. I'm going to order a black bean patty over wild greens with a light lime chili dressing, so I entered the generic 1/2 avocado, black bean patty, mixed greens and chili lim dressing. It took me longer to type this than to enter those items. Anyway, here's to trying again for us both!0

Find the "Quote" button under the post you want to reply to if you want to reply to a specific post. Just go to the bottom of the feed and add a comment if you just want to add to the stream. As far as chili or anything else you put together from scratch, the first time is the worst because you have to find and enter every ingredient... but then save it as a meal, and the next time it's one click magic. You can even then go into your daily entries and edit an ingredient or delete and add as needed. Welcome back!0 -
Heya, im mew to the community but have used myfitnesspal for years. It was a great help to lose 30kj about 4 years ago, especially tracking macros while i was doing keto. Now i mainly use it to build a recipe base for my favourite meals. At 5'2 i don't have a lot of room to move with my calorie intake so the app is great for tracking my intake so i don't blow out. Looking forward to some inspiration from the community on consistency and motivation especially now that i am less active and working predominantly from home.0

Hello All - I am starting over with MFP. I really have never used the community part in the past. I am looking for some support. I have just over 20 pounds to lose. I have been a runner all my life but have not been consistent lately.

Back again...
As can see, I have had success with MFP. However, as life is life it didn't go to plan (deaths, breakups, depression, redundancy) and now feels like I am starting all over again... However, this time I know myself a bit better.
Please Add on MFP, liking and commenting on each other's actions we are taking for our wellbeing! Let us help motivate each other.0 -
5kg to lose. Hoping the community feature will help to hold me accountable and be a positive source of motivation. Let's do this 💪2
