Halfway Progress Photo - 62 pounds down
Halfway through my goal. 62 pounds down. I cut out alcohol, changed jobs, and left an unhappy relationship. I have been walking with the aid of Pokémon Go! Only eating out 2 nights a week and high fiber, high protein, meals. Replaced candy with fruit. Please add me if you want to join me on the remainder of my journey!

MY 100 POUND JOURNEY
This challenge is for those who need to lose 100+ lbs. My name is Lisa. I’m 5’5” and weigh 300 lbs. My goal weight is 200 lbs (size 16). I’ll still be heavy, but I’m fine with that. I have no desire to be thin. I was always sick when I was thin (135). I’m much healthier with some meat on my bones (and fat smoothes out the…

Oldie but a Goodie
I have been using this app on & off for a few years now. So far I have lost 63 lbs w/110 to be at my goal weight. I have just switched jobs from one horrible place to what looks like another.

Over 100lbs lost after 10+ years of trying...I've learned a huge lesson (TW)

Hello all
I am conflicted about posting here but… I turned over a new leaf September 28, 2024. I eliminated all carbs from diet except those in fruit and vegetables. It worked. I lost almost 30 pounds before the end of 2024. I quit taking my diabetes medication. My doctor didn’t care because my 3 month checkup had my A1C down by 1.2…

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…

8 Months, 8 Stone Down - My Journey (So Far)
Eight months ago, I was 25 stone (159 kg) with a body fat percentage of 34%. This morning, I weighed in at 98 kg with 23% body fat. I’m still considered “obese” by BMI standards, but I feel stronger, healthier, and more in control than I have in years. I wanted to share my journey - not because I have all the answers, but…

Polyam, pansexual, ER nurse losing weight slowly!
I’ve lived my entire adult life in a fat body. I have been 374lbs for the last year. I’m ready to change. I decided mid-January that I’m going to try to start losing weight again. This has been a slippery slope in the past. Whenever I would try to lose weight, I would become obsessive about it. I would have to weigh and…

i am back
I am using the website version of myfitnesspal this morning and I find it to be more focused for the community section. Been a member since 2013 and occasional user I guess. I am pretty self aware of my diet, and used to track my meals, but it is quite cumbersome to track every single diet. #Iamback

Trying to step back into the community
Hi everyone! I'm Andrew, and I've been on MFP since 2013ish. In 2016, I had a mild health scare at 306 lbs and, through walking, going to the gym, healthier food decisions, and with the help of MFP, I dropped to 186 and virtually fixed my health problem (which was an irregular heart beat and PACs). I was literally in the…
