Annual check-up "Oh oh!" - Getting back on track NOW
I've been going through some stuff and knew I had let my own needs take a back seat - but the numbers from my annual visit are a huge wake-up call. I knew I had gained back about ten pounds, but I did NOT realize I had turned my "good" glucose and lipid numbers back to high-risk values. I have a metabolic syndrome that…

Hello
Hi everyone. I'm Tina. Been using this to log food for a few month off and on but taking it more seriously now. I really want to track what I'm eating and see how it makes me feel. Lost 15 pounds since the beginning of May by really paying attention to what I'm eating, logging food, adding exercise and getting off sugar.

Is this maintenance? Can I celebrate yet?
I just looked at what turns out to be about ten years of data. It made me feel a little bit better. Like most of us, I sometimes get a little frustrated when only looking at recent data. In my case, I had lost about 30 pounds to what I thought was an ideal weight. I maintained in a healthy range around that weight for…

New lifestyle
My name is Ed, and I have been close to the edge of no return as far as my physical well-being. However, my primary doctor and I were determined to bring me back off the edge. So I started back on the road to the new me. I have lost 36 pounds since April 26th. How did I do this? It was not so new or a passing fade of…

Motivation and consistency much needed!
I am 62 y/o female and have crept up and up in weight, have always been physically active and still ski, horse back ride and go bicycling. No major health issues but I have noticed a decrease in strength and need to turn the switch on for better health. Finally I want to look as good as I feel!

Add support for All Drugs
I think, it would be very beneficial, for everyone, if the app also had support for Alcohol, smoking & all Illegal drugs and their effects on health, to be better aware of the harms, as well as to mitigate them. I believe, drug addiction is not a criminal probelm, its a physical & mental health problem & should be treated…

Hiya, fabulous ladies! I'm Chellie, tuning in from Ireland. If you peek at my profile, you'll see I've been here since 24th June 2009—yep, I've been around the MyFitnessPal block a time or two! 🎉 Back in the day, I was on fire, following workouts from the likes of Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper.

Please help...desperate to lose 12-15lbs in next month and get my weight on track...
This might be long winded but I am looking for help and support. I am 41, 5'7, no kids, work, and have a fiancé'.

I've lost 90 lbs!!!!
2 1/2 years! I truly never thought I'd lose as much as I have and feel as good as I do! Started out this journey bc I couldn't move from the couch.

Trying it out
I’ve been a member of MFP for years but found another app that I actually liked using and have been with it for a few years. But, I’m back again to give MFP another try. Right now, my plan is to meet my protein goals. I’ve slacked this summer with nutrition and it’s time to change that. Life has also gotten in the way of…
