    Hi

    I am newly retired and am looking for friends to help me stay motivated in my journey to better health. My goal is to lose 30 pounds and to increase my overall fitness. I have used other diet & exercise apps, but lost motivation because of my slow progress. Please send me a friend request if you also need a positive friend to help keep you motivated.

    😊

    Happy to be here. I'm finally taking this seriously and practicing mindfulness. I'm in my 40s and I just want to be confident and see progress in my wellness goals.

    Diving back in after a health hiatus. I love to run, hate my 40-something joints, love cookies, not loving my forty something ever expanding waistline, love my 10+ years of sobriety, hate feeling alone in my efforts. Send some good vibes my way!

    My problem is alcohol. What follows is bad eating after a heavy night. At 46 I'm overweight and unfit. I long to be healthy, sober and have friends. I'm looking forward to this.

    Who’s into calisthenics? Been doing it for 2 years now and haven’t gone back to traditional weight lifting. Let’s get it!

    I have dabbled with this app for a while but it’s time to go all in! Premium, plans, community, challenges I want to do it all so I can learn more about what I am eating and how it affects my body. Would love to know where you are all logging in from. I’m in Queensland Australia! Hi 👋

    Hi - this is D, I’m not really new though I took a few years off from the app (at my own peril :)) but I have never introduced myself. I eat keto (standard, 4:1), more or less OMAD, no dairy no fruits no carbs no legumes no alcohol and I am currently training for my first half-marathon. Always looking for best grass-fed meat provider tips, or how to spend as little time as possible on cooking as nutrient rich as possible dinners (my one meal). I add some brain octane sometimes too and some ketone-iq for my run.

    Been using the ap for 7 months but starting to join communities on here. I am T2 diabetic on Ozempic and have lost 27 pounds. I go to the Dr every 3 months with lab work and have a health coach online. I have recently changed to a keto meal plan but it has been a bit of a struggle. So any Keto people I would love to hear your journey. I have been obese for over 30 years. It is now or never. I survived breast cancer during the pandemic so I will not let obesity get me. That is my motivation.

    Hello, My name is Janelle and I am new here. After a couple years of studying for my masters and then transitioning from Drug and Alcohol Counselor to Therapist, I added 30-40 pounds on top to other weight I had wanted to lose. Thought it was time to get involved and am now in a program that uses MyFitnessPal. When I signed up here I realized I had a profile on here from 2013. Who knew?

    Hi all,
    First time on MFP, but I lost 20+ pounds 3 years ago. Recently I have gained 12 back. Community has always been helpful on my fitness journey, so I am hoping to find groups with similar interests for encouragement. I run some, quite slowly, and I am in my 50s so everything happens slower.

    I just joined MFP for the first time as a young adult so I can easily track calories and exercise to lose weight and get stronger. I would love some support and tips to achieve my fitness goals!
