New here
Hey all! I’m new to this and trying to figure things out. I know I don’t eat enough calories in my day and that is stopping any weight loss I could be doing. I have about 50 pounds to loose and a body to tone up! Add me as a friend to help keep me motivated!!!

Will my calories decrease over time if I start at 1,210?
Hi! I’m wondering how far MyFitnessPal will set the calorie goal. I know that they offer to change the goal for every 10 lbs lost, but is there a boundary where they can’t cross 1,200, or something? I’m only concerned since they’re starting me at 1,210. I don’t want to plateau. Thank you!

Keep forgetting to track 😩

Best macros for weight loss
I'm tired of fad diets that drastically reduce carbs, fat, sugar or whatever. They don't work for me ... I get really cranky and cheat. I find I am more satiated and less likely to cheat when I eat a balanced diet. I read online that the most effective approach for many people is eating a range of 5 to 15% carbs, 25 to 35%…

Starting Over after Grief
I have been a member of MFP for quite some time, and I was very close to my goal weight last fall, maybe 7 pounds to go. My mom died in September 2022, and I just gave up. I have been struggling very hard over the past year, gained 50 pounds, feeling very discouraged and embarrassed about it. This Saturday marks one year…

Scale Trust Issues
I’m skeptical about my scale. I don’t totally trust it. It’s on a thin carpet, (the floors in my bathroom are slanted, where my scale gives me 3 TOTALLY different readings within a minute in there) but its placement (on the rug) is the only thing that keeps me weighing in daily. It’s stayed in the same spot for 3 months…

Anyone looking to join or start a new challenger
Hi, I’m new to this and want to join a new challenge or willing start a new one for some accountability even if it’s just a few of us. If anyone has 50-100lbs to lose or is starting any of the Beachbody programs as well would be perfect too.
