Not New to MFP, but New to Forum
Hey everyone! :) While I am not new to MFP (been part of it since 2018), I am new to these forums - honestly hadn't explored much aside from the tracking! Even that has been hit and miss over the years. A little (or a lot) about me! I am 32F and have been overweight my whole life. I struggle mostly with just getting myself…

Hi, I am 55F and would love some encouragement and friends to share this journey
Hi! I am 55f and have been fighting my weight for a few decades. I need two new knees and I am beyond the age where weight is taking a toll on my health. I want my next few decades to be awesome, so I am working this weight off one way or another! Arthritis, menopause, depression, prediabetes, HRT, GLP-1, you name it, I…

I finally reached my goal weight
My fitness Pal I started on My Fitness Pal as a class 3 obese person. Class three obesity was previously described as morbidly obese. And I was solidly in that category. My nurse practitioner suggested looking into bariatric surgery. I really had no interest in doing that. She then mentioned trying to monitor my calories…

New with a lot to lose
Hey guys, I'm new to this group. I joined mfp in March of this year. Chose to totally revamp my life, in particular doing something about my weight. In March, I, at one point, was 358. Today, I am 329. I've gained and lost weight. So, it only shows about 11 lbs lost. I can't do real intense exercise because my knees are…

A new take on a life long issue
I recently started a 6 month pre-op journey towards bariatric surgery. No more losing 20 pounds just to gain 30 back. Surgery is serious and it brings a new thought process to weight loss. In the past it was easy to cheat on my diet or give up trying, especially for my husband. I don't expect this journey to be easy and so…

What weighs ___ lbs?
This is so random but it’s kind of a fun way to visualize how much weight you’ve lost- Google ‘what weighs ____lbs?’ Inserting the exact amount you’ve lost. Someone mentioned in another group they lost 6 lbs and someone else replied saying they lost a whole chihuahua haha! For example- I have lost 23.2 lbs so far so I have…

I’m looking for active friends on MyFitnessPal!
I’d love to connect with people who are on a bariatric journey whether you’re pre-op, post-op, or just working toward a healthier lifestyle. That’s not a requirement, though. I’m happy to meet anyone who is supportive and active. One thing I do prefer is an open food diary because I’m always looking for new meal and snack…

3 months in..

If you’d like to be friends I’m a 33 year old mom of two. I live on a horse farm and I’d love to make more friends :)

I'm a newbie
Hi all! I joined the app this week and I just took my 3rd GLP-1 shot. I'm down 6.5 lbs, feeling more energy and less inflammation. It's been a great experience so far. I'm basically trying to figure out how to eat. I don't really understand macros but I like that the food log figures it out. When in doubt,I just stick to…

Trying to keep Control
Today is my second day and I find myself having a hard time keeping control with the urge to eat even though I am not hungry. I stopped smoking two months ago after having been a smoker for 45 years. I am vaping though, but I know that needs to stop as well. But even with the vaping I am having the urge to grab something…

Greetings! My name is Pete, I live in a tiny town an hour north of Vegas. I just started (for the 834th time 😂) this weight loss journey 3 weeks ago. I’m 57, love food and have a very sedentary lifestyle which is a dangerous combination. Currently doing Keto and trying to walk 10k a day. Once I get that dialed in I’ll add…

I have lived a…

I'm back...
Several years ago I used MFP to lose over 100 pounds in two years. I felt great and managed to keep it off until my life went to… My husband of over 50 years developed dementia and it progressed fairly rapidly. Over a six month period I managed to clear out our home of nearly 30 years and sell it, buy a nice ground floor…

Hello!
I am a 50+ woman with over 100 pounds to lose. I have several health conditions that I have been using as an excuse to not take care of myself (including arthritis and fibromyalgia). I am starting over to get down to a healthy weight, and to quit wallowing in self pity for not getting there. I am looking for some…

Back at it!
2018 was the last time I use MFP. Started it back up almost a month ago to track calories and macros. I think it's helped keep me on track since I'm down 19lbs. At this rate, I'm hoping to be 100lbs down by July or August. I never used the community option before so I'd love to make a few friends to help with…

How do I make exercise a habit?
I have used this app to track my food and weight for a while but have not taken part in discussions or challenges. I have bad knees and a lot of weight to lose. I cannot motivate myself to exercise as a habit. When I do exercise, I always feel better, but I have some sort of mental block when it comes to making it a…

Hi Everyone
I think I may have been here years ago, but have been off doing my own thing for a while and have gained far too much weight. I'm back now because I need to lose at least 130 pounds before I am a candidate for a much needed hip replacement. My arthritis has me barely able to walk, so I find that it is extremely difficult…
