I'm lost...
Hi there everyone! I'm sitting here after eating myself to the point of sickness for the past 2 days while wearing my "fat pants" that somehow also got too tight. I want to get out of this rut, and I figure my brain should focus on one thing, and take it one day at a time. But what do I focus on? I'm staring at all these…

Greetings!
My name is Alexis Pike! I joined last year when I decided to make a change in my health habits. My personal trainer suggested I use MFP, which I did, but I have never been successful using the program since I joined in Oct. 2020 (longest consistency was about a week). However, my physical and mental health have become of…

Fast forward 5 years
Hello fellow MFP! I didn't even realize I had signed up for this account 5 years ago, so I had my first weigh in and then crickets. I just logged in again to keep accountability and synced it with my Fitbit. I've been up and down in my weight, and looking to keep it off. It stinks that I am in love junk food. Most recently…

First time posting
Hello. I've been using myfitnesspal app for a long time with some success. My current attempt at achieving my goal weight has stalled out. I started at 198 and am down to 188 and am just struggling to keep the calories under control. My problem is snacking in the evening. Hoping someone can help me with the motivation and…

Can I eat the calories I burn?
So my recommended amount is 1200 calories however today I burned 600 calories from ballet and walking I entered this and my calorie intake went up to 1800. Does this mean I should eat 1800? I asked my friend and she said I should still stick to 1200 and the calorie tracker is probably overestimating what I have burned

Let’s do this! (Again)
Hi everyone! My name is Amy. I’ve struggled with binge-eating disorder and weight management my whole life. During the first year of the pandemic I worked hard to get to my life-long goal weight. However, this past year anxiety and depression helped me to regain 25 of the 50 lbs I lost. I’m hoping to get back to my healthy…

In 5 weeks you'll lose 10lbs... why is it not working?
When someone signs up for MFP, they are gung ho about losing weight, and want to shed those pounds FAST! They look at the calculator, enter their stats, and are asked... What is your lifestyle like... Sedentary? Lightly active? This is such a subjective question! Some people are fooling themselves... and think they're very…

Why am I still hungry?
Why am I so hungry after I run? Am I burning more than the approximate amount the app says? I eat 1600 or sometimes 1400 cals a day but I always reach my protein intake (plant based shakes) I’m never that hungry after I do weights and I lift fairly heavy. Example: during the day I eat 800 calories of my 1600. after I run I…

Wanting to lose 30+ pounds
Hi everyone! I'm 23, and have had quite a journey. Came from a food desert, having not eaten rice or spinach until I moved to a new state at 19. So weight has jumped around with this access to whole foods and not processed stuff. Then I got into weightlifting and gained muscle and fat during the bulk. So while I could…

I’m Back
I’ve used Fitness Pal in the past to track calories. This is when I’ve been most successful with weight loss. It promotes Mindful eating. But I’m new to the community side of things. I’m not much of a joiner. I’m trying for a bit more accountability this time. Checking in regularly. Making this part of my daily journey.

Working out after lack of sleep?
I've struggled to stay asleep the past few week or so and was wondering if I should skip working out today? The last chest day, I felt a little more noodle armed than I would've liked, but I was still able to force myself to get it done. And it's chest and back again today, but I had another bad night with a lack of good…

Alternatives to Grilled Chicken
Hi! I just started trying to eat healthy again and am hoping for some ideas for alternatives to grilled chicken to change it up. Last time I lost a lot of weight I stuck to salads for every lunch and grilled chicken for dinner with various sides (rice, sweet potato, broccoli, etc). While effective, I got really sick of…

Lose fat and maintain muscle simultaneously
Hi everyone, quick back story. I've been overweight to obese most of my life. A little over two years ago I lost about 42kg (93lbs), I've gained about 6kg (13lbs) back of that. I lost the weight through tracking my calories on MFP and walking. Over the past two years I worked my way up to running and cycling. I'm pretty…

Hi everyone! After my annual physical on Monday, I received a bad lab report for the first time in my life (202 cholesterol, 124 LDL, 129/88 bp). I'm 40, 5'7 and weigh 185 pounds. My goal is to lose 20 pounds (my fighting weight is 165!) and to get back to perfect lab work. Any Peloton users in here?! B)

May or may not have hit a plateau.
My weight kinda keeps bouncing up and down a few pounds every day. I'm so close to getting below 200 lbs, but it'll go up the next day 😫 I was like 202 pounds a day or two ago and today the scale said 205. Been bouncing back and forth between that range since Thanksgiving. I don't know if it's muscle from working out or…

Understanding the basics
Hey all, I have multiple questions which will essentially allow me to understand way better of what I’m exactly doing to lose weight. 1) why does the “Macro” and “nutrients” tabs have different intake values ? 2) why do my calories up (allow me to eat more) depending what protein/total fat intake I have? 3) I’ve seen a…
