-165 lb. Weight Loss, 39 lb. Weight Gain, 5% Winter 2025 Challenge To Get Back To Goal
I have been obese my entire adult life. If you can relate, this story is for you. Looking at the pictures I selected to use to tell my story, I realized it took me 30 years to achieve my goal. 30 years is a long darn time to stay focused and true to who you want to become. In 2020 I started an ‘Annual Progression’…

New to myfitnesspal and have a conundrum about entering a recipe (serving size)
hey folks, been using this app for about a month now and have enjoyed it. I do a lot of home cooking (and sometimes baking), and I am not finding a resolution on the help section with respect to adding a recipe. After I “Title” the recipe, it then wants to know how many servings. I would like to be able to put in how many…

The Struggle is REAL!
Hello everyone! My name is Izzie! I've been using MFP on and off for about a year now but for the last few months I have logged every single day (except holidays where I can't go on my phone).

Enuf's Enuf! My 2nd effort at fitness.
In 2013 I found a book by Ferris outlining a 5 step lifestyle and habit plan for any fitness goal an individual could desire. I was 42, 6ft 289 lbs with a 44 waist. So I needed to change my patterns with food and exercise for weight loss and toning. The steps I am re-committing to are as follows: 1) upon waking,…

Calorie deficit and macros
I go back and forth between focusing on a calorie deficit and macros. Goal is to lose 20 lbs so I feel like if I focus on the deficit I can just not worry about carbs so much. Still get my protein numbers but just worry less about keeping carbs low. Everyone always seems to think low carb is the way to weight loss though…

Hi from Lincolnshire, UK
H i there, I am not new to My Fitness Pal but have never really engaged in the community side of it before. I wonder if this is where I've been going wrong?

Track net carbs instead of calories
Hi, My questions: Can I set up the app to prioritize tracking the carbs over the calories? Or not track calories at all? Background: I'm 30 weeks pregnant and am tending towards gestational diabetes (despite working out the whole time and trying to watch what I eat). Now I need to watch my carbs and sugar intake more than…

Not new but back to MFP because it worked the last time.
Hi, I'm JT, I am not new to MFP, I used it 10 years ago and dropped 85 pounds though diet and exercise. Then life happened and I slipped back into old habits. Got lazy and instead of meal prep it was easier and more convenient to go through the drive thru. Well, I finally got serious on 6 December 2024. I was tired of…
