Restarting the Journey
I’ve been a member of MFP since 1st Jan 2019 when I weighed in at 246 lbs. I am the world’s worst yo-yo dieter but my greatest success was during COVID. I cycled every day to get out of the house and was eventually able to drop to 184.4lbs in September 2020. Since then, unfortunately the yo-yo dieting recommenced and here…

Although for 10 years i’ve been off and on with the gym and eating very clean, i have pcos, insulin resistance and if I fall off and don’t go to the gym for weeks at a time or start eating inflammatory foods and overeat, i gain weight very fast and it…

A Re-Introduction
Hello, my name is Adam. I'm now 40 years old and I am a Wisconsinite living in the Chicagoland area. I've struggled with weight my entire life. I've done it all. Atkins, Keto, I've even talked to Richard Simmons once. Nothing really stuck. The most success I had was with Keto, but that wasn't a sustainable lifestyle for…

Looking for new Friends and some accountability
I've been on this journey for a long long time and I've had lots of ups and downs. I've gained and lost and re-gained more than I'd like to state. My biggest issue is self control and I kind of need to be held accountable since I'm not always great at doing that myself. I'm 40, live in the Chicagoland Area, and really…

Age 40+ accountability buddies needed!
Hello! I lost 100 pounds in 2023. I’m ready to build muscle and get more active! I started tracking again as of today and would like an accountability buddy to keep me on track. I’m at a comfortable weight (according to myself) but could stand to lose 30-50 more pounds to be considered not obese. I’m not looking to go…

New Year's Resolutions
As we prepare to welcome the New Year, many of us will make resolutions. Many people on MFP will make resolutions about fitness and diet. Sometimes those resolutions will be lofty; we are setting ourselves up for failure. As like any other time of year, we need our goals to be difficult but achievable. We need them to be…

Hello - 50 in August - my goal for weight loss
This isn't my first rodeo with MyFitnessPal but it's like my comfort blanket weight loss app. For 40 years I was thin and athletic but early perimenopause kicked me in the metabolism quite badly and for the last 9 years I have gone over my goal/standard/normal weight by 2 and a half stone, and up nearly 3 dress sizes. I…

Friends over 40
I turned 50 this year and have a history of night time binge eating. I have health/ medical issues. I've learned that I have control over what I eat, not my emotions. I'm on day 2 of getting back to healthy and cleaner living. I feel that it will also help alleviate some of my symptoms. If you are anything like me and my…

4 Million in 2024
Ok, here is my plan....... anyone who wants to join in would be welcome. 4 million steps in 2024...... that is an average of 11K per day. I am adding a few things myself, like food tracking and some short-circuit training, but the main drive is to get me back out walking. Starting Monday, maybe I can find some friends (or…

Lapsed ........ now I need to be back
My name is Will and well, I will admit, I am NOT back to where I was, but I am definitely more than my lowest.

I have a goal for this year, I…

I blew it this past few weeks
I was tempted with everything! Bread, sweets, overeating. Everything! I kept checking myself in the mirror and still look fine but stayed feeling bloated, depressed and alone. I have avoided logging my food and getting in the scale. So today I step back into my program. I hate that I reverted back but I am ready to jump…
