Should I be losing weight or building muscle?
Hi I’m 22(f) and I just started using MyFitness Pal more seriously. I’m 5’1 and at ~120lbs. I recently gained about 10lbs over the past 2 months. The only thing that I can think caused this was quitting smoking. I haven’t done anything else different. I was even working out 3-4 times a week (spin classes) while I gained. I…

Lost 35 pounds last year, then gained back 40! Starting all over again 🥲
Hello community, I’m a guy in his 20’s here to work on losing around 30-40 pounds again because my last weight loss journey was wayy too unsustainable. So unsustainable in fact that my obsession with constant progress and total discipline eventually led me to developing a serious eating disorder 😬 Once I finally realized…

Struggling to lose the last pounds of fat.
Hi everybody ! To say I'm struggling is an understatement. For the background, I'm a woman and I weighed 90 kilos (200lbs) at my highest, and I lost it all without any help, making a few mistakes during the process (by cutting calories a lot, until I was down to 500/800 kcal a day, but at the time it worked like a charm).…

Hello
I used the app in 2012, the app did open my eyes and taught me not to over eat. I went from 160Ibs to 130Ibs. Kept the weight off until covid. I went up to 155Ibs close to 160Ibs and I knew had to do what I did in 2012. I have been also trying to eat once a day, fasting!

No Surprise - Sucralose is Bad for You
And why am I not surprised by this story? https://newsweek.com/artificial-sweetner-sucralose-dna-damage-1804008 I mean seriously, how many times have we found out eventually that man-made food ingredients do more harm than good? Funny thing, there is a simple way to determine (though not definitively) if something is okay…

Choosing entries
Hi everyone! I’ve been tracking my nutrition with MFP for 3 weeks now … and have gained weight. Sigh. I’m trying to lose about 15 lbs that my body very quickly put on over a couple of months with no changes in usual diet and exercise. I’ve had blood work recently, my thyroid and pituitary had low values but the dr wasn’t…

45 and healthy by genetics only- Day 2 of Diet Plan! 😀
My parents cooked healthy and I'm like a trust fund child with the genetics. I don't eat fried foods much and never season with salt. I do eat late at night and have a vicious craving for doughy sweets, cookies, honey buns with the icing etc. When I focus I lose weight quickly but since my diet is tied to emotional eating,…

Do you have items/clothing you will treat yourself to after reaching weight loss goals?
What item/clothing will you be rewarding yourself with? For me, I’d say the Luon Jacket by Lululemon Also, I’m looking for more MFP friends to share and track my progress with. Hopefully we can motivate each other, go ahead and friend me if you’d be interested. Let’s do this thing!!!

Starting over and need an accountability partner - women only please
I've been struggling with restarting so many times that I don't even know why. I finally gave myself permission to throw all caution to the wind through the end of May, and now that it's time to hunker down and reclaim some willpower, I would love to meet other women who might be in the same spot. I ate so much stuff that…

Returning to MFP
How many people type that subject line? At least I’m not alone! I was very successful with MFP but over the past year have gained back a pound a month, yikes!! Where did it come from?? From not using MFP (and eating too much, I take the blame). Back again because I know it is successful. This time I opted for the premium…
