Hello, I'm new here! Anyone want an accountability buddy?
I'm an 18 year-old uni student from Canada just trying to fit back into my dresses :) There's a lot of shame around weight loss, that's not a surprise to anyone. The biggest factor that keeps me from working out is that people will see, and they'll know that I struggle. That very "keeping it lowkey" mindset hinders my…

Been on MFP several years but never really committing. Just signed up for premium service. After retiring and going to cardiologist for first time was told my LDL was extremely high.

Last summer, I was able to go from 140 to 124 lbs due to kickboxing and being on a really strict diet. Now, I am back up to 130 lbs and aiming for 110. Not doing kickboxing anymore but hoping to eat better and mentally be motivated to do this. Goal is to be 120 lbs by February 18th, when I have a trip to California. We…

Reigniting the passion
I've had a personal trainer since October and strength/endurance wise I'm the strongest I've ever been. I want to lose about 30 lbs. I lost 80 before. I'm 40 lbs up from that but my composition is a *lot* more muscle than I had when I lost the weight. I'm starting to really hunker down on my diet and mental clarity again…

Stuck - want to lose weight and gain muscle
Have dropped almost 20 lbs from my peak, know I could drop another 10 but as I put on muscle the scale isn’t moving… I seem stuck. 20% carb, 40% fat, 40% protein. But I can’t keep up with the amount of calories everyone (and the app) says I should be consuming. Seems like getting lean and gaining muscle can be at odds with…

Calorie Deficit - Not Eating Enough? - Advice - Help?

I'm currently 25 years old, 6' 0" (female) and weigh in at 193…

Hi all! New here.../wave
I just turned 64 and am down to my last 10-25...not sure yet. I have been on a simple letting go of things I don't need any more mission.

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…
