Don’t understand difference in mirror vs scale
About a month ago I started exercising daily (tracked through Fitbit) and tracking my calories and macros through MFP. I walk on the treadmill daily at an incline and the only day I didn’t do the treadmill I was on a bike ride. I also bought an Eros scale to track my body fat and other stats. I’ve ensured I’m drinking at…

Chocolate and carb cravings
Hi. This is Sele. I've successfully used fitnesspal in the past. And I saw results. But I always quit at some point and go back to bad habits. I don't have a healthy relationship with food. It's like all or nothing. My weight is always fluctuating. I can't seem to maintain when I lose weight. I raised my calorie goal from…

Fell off the wagon during pandemic
Hi everyone, I was on the right track back in 2019. I had lost 55lbs and going strong using this app. Unfortunately, with the pandemic, I gained all of it back and +10lbs more 😩. Now that things are getting back to normal, I need to lose all that weight again. Looking for friends that have gone through a similar situation…

Newbie! Anyone in their late 50s up for a Buddy system?
I have finally accepted the fact that I am an emotional eater. After losing 80 pounds, regaining 80 pounds, losing 80 pounds again, and gaining those pounds back again, it’s time to get healthy and stick to this for the last time. As we get older, it gets a little harder. Looking for others who would like to support each…

Calorie Adjustment - Enable Negative Adjustments
I do not understand the Calorie Adjustment? I have my Fitbit synced and I'm not sure if the Enable Negative Adjustments should be clicked or not. I am currently not exercising much and I do not want to use Fitbit's calories burned amount, only steps/miles walked. Should I unclick it? Thanks.

Double chin
One thing I have been extremely self conscious about is my double chin. I would do anything and everything to try and hide it. I’ve noticed that after losing 5lbs, my double chin is significantly smaller! It’s still there, and it’s a work in progress, but yay!

Guess who’s back?
This is the umpteenth time I’ve downloaded mfp, and I’m hoping to stick with it this time. Im tired of being the way I am, and I’m ready to make lifestyle changes. Anywho, I’m always looking for people I can become friends with and we can mutually cheer each other on. Every accomplishment should be celebrates, no matter…

The problem I have is I’ve been dieting for nearly 22yrs now and I’ve been on every diet going, so my head is a mess and I don’t know which way is up. I’m calorie…

Habits instead of numbers?
Hi everyone. I'm back again and having a hard time getting motivated. I first joined back in 2015. I was 187 lbs and thought that was as high as I’d ever get. I was eager and excited to make changes and I was successful in losing over 30lbs, then I stopped logging, quit smoking, and gained back every lb plus an extra 25,…

Day 1 (again)
There is no question here, just a statement. I need to be held more accountable for my health. I spend time on Facebook and Instagram all day, but nothing there is going to help me. So, here I am check in. I worked out and have a healthy meal plan for today. Day 1 (again) has started. Comment if you want or don’t 🤷🏻♀️…

Day 2
Here we are day 2! I got my work out in and my meal prep done extra early thanks to my sweet puppy. She decided pooping in the house was what she should do at 345am. 🤷🏻♀️ I hope your motivation was less stressful.

I'm gaining weight so, I'm back
Several years ago, I used MFP to lose 60 lbs. and have been keeping it off for the last seven years for the most part. I am a mental health patient and the medications that I take are notorious for causing massive weight gain. Recently I have had some medication changes and sure enough, I've experienced some weight gain. I…

Back on the horse…
Lifelong struggle with my weight. No support from hubby (who can eat anything and not gain weight) who thinks if I just eat salads for every meal, how can I not lose weight? I’ve done vegetarian, prescription medication, veganIsm, keto and low fat diets. I am open for new friends and to be a friend to others that struggle.

I am DONE!!
This is me about 12 years ago. I can see so much more self-confidence and self-reliance in my eyes. I miss that. Physical and mental health problems, nursing my Mother through dementia and grieving her death, along with comfort eating, have been the contributors to me gaining well over 70lbs since this photo was taken. I…

Yoga, Stairclimbing and MFP
Hello everyone! Technically I'm not spanking new because I was here 7 years ago when MFP helped me lose 60 lbs. by food logging. But I am now 7 lbs. above my ideal body weight so now I am back. I not only log my calories, but I do 40 to 50 minutes of yoga 4 to 5 days a week. I also do approximately 8 to 9 minutes of…

Feeling Guilty

Fibro and Fasting
I have just begun an extended protein sparing fast. I have multiple food intolerances, so fasting takes a lot of the guessing out of it. I am hoping to lose weight and also to decrease my inflammation and pain.

Serial Starter looking for some people to help me stick with it till the end this time.
If you go back in my profile I have said this a few times and I can't lie, it's frustrating as hell to admit it but I need to admit it. Hopefully the fact it's coming back into summer is going to be a kick up the backside I need to be able to get an actual kick start on this so in the winter I can slack a little whilst…

One day of Eating bad
Hello guys! Just feeling a little discouraged today. I worked out all last week and a couple of days actually lost 1000 calls through exercise and ate well. I ate pretty bad over the weekend and stepped on the scale today and the scale didn’t budge from last week :( Any advice on when the best time is to weigh yourself?
