    Hello world. I'm not new to MFP but I haven't been consistent about using it. I'm hoping to try again and stay consistent to help me achieve my goal of losing some lbs before I start trying to size up. I'm hoping to find a buddy or two on here that can help me stay accountable. Something like regular messaging to check in on each other if we worked out on a given day, or if we met our daily macros and calorie goals, etc. Best of luck to everyone trying to better themselves.

    After a few years, hello again! MFP is more $ now but I’m giving it a re-try. I’m so obese (70# min to lose) and so unfit; I fall easily and am heading into ‘disability’ and earlier death perhaps — so this really IS “life or death” for me now. I’d like to see my grandchildren graduate hs at least! I’ve jumped in and I choose LIFE.

    Hello all! I am new to MFP. I started about a month ago and just discovered the community today. I have always been overweight but last year at age 61 I was diagnosed with several autoimmune disorders. I know that losing weight will help in my quest to slow down the progression of the diseases. So here I am trying to get to a healthier weight. Thank you for the welcome.

    Hello! I have used this app off and on over quite a few years, but never for very long. However, this is the first time I've been dedicated to improving my overall health so I'm planning to use this app regularly for at least the next few months. My goal is to improve overall fitness and lose 30-50 pounds.

    I just started yesterday, so still trying to figure out what this app does and how it works. I have a fitbit and synced it, but not sure if it's working yet.
    A few years ago I used Spark People and logged my food there, plus there were motivational points for reading articles, logging meals, etc and lost weight. Unfortunately, they changed everything and it's basically a disappointing program now. I'm hoping to again inspiration to to help myself get back to losing weight and be a more fit me.
    Logged meals and water yesterday and today and found myself not eating as much as usual with the shock of seeing how many calories have been consumed. I just need to keep it up.

    Hello, hope everyone is having a good day. I'm not actually new but have never posted anything. I joined in 2014 when Spark People ended. I didn't use Fitnesspal much until Mar. 16, 2024 (weight 180.5). I have been fanatical with my diet and walking everyday for 5 months and reached my goal of 145 today. It's been a little hard at times, especially in social situations where I have less control, but 5 months went by fast and it was definitely worth it. I feel better and my cholesterol numbers are in the normal range. I'm a little scared. I have lost weight before a few times and gained it back within a couple of years. Maintaining is more frightening than actually losing weight to me. Thanks.

    Hi I'm new here. Im from Southern Calif, a singer, music teacher, and watercolor artist.
    I've been on this app for about a week. I have little over 100 lb to lose. I just started a group for those who are like me a little bit older, 58, and a lot of weight to lose, called 100# club: a support journey for 50+. I'm hoping to gain some friends on here to keep me encouraged and to give back some encouragement as well.

    Hello!!! My name is Danni 😊

    I'm starting over yet again... 2013/2014 I lost 75 pounds but after 10 years, COVID, two shoulder injuries, divorcing my ex, and moving back to the state I grew up in I have gained almost all of it back.

    My girlfriend and I are going vegan in November when we move in together. Until then, I eat vegetarian.

    If anyone has suggestions for exercise in a small apartment it would be appreciated.
