Let's Try This Again.....My Story
Hello and Happy New Year! I, as a lot of people, are making it a goal this year to focus more on my own health and wellbeing, both physically and mentally. I am not new to MFP as I have attempted to utilize in the past with minimal success. Minimal because I just have trouble and don't like tracking my nutrition. I find it…

Wanting to lose 30+ pounds
Hi everyone! I'm 23, and have had quite a journey. Came from a food desert, having not eaten rice or spinach until I moved to a new state at 19. So weight has jumped around with this access to whole foods and not processed stuff. Then I got into weightlifting and gained muscle and fat during the bulk. So while I could…

Not So New Newbie (Intro + My Journy)
Felt like making a little intro post so here goes! (Tw ED mention) I'm actually not new to MFP at all but this is kinda the first time I'm using it properly I suppose..

I’m Back
I’ve used Fitness Pal in the past to track calories. This is when I’ve been most successful with weight loss. It promotes Mindful eating. But I’m new to the community side of things. I’m not much of a joiner. I’m trying for a bit more accountability this time. Checking in regularly. Making this part of my daily journey.

Falling off the wagon aka food demons
So, yeah I went on a binge. Felt like a drug addict you see in the movies. If I could stand throwing up I would. So my question is now what??? Should I Fast tomorrow?? Will that balance this out? More importantly what about when I get these impulses?

What keeps you up at night?
Since I’m up late, I figured I’d see how many others have trouble resting and why? For me it’s the inability to turn my mind off. I’ve made major changes in all areas of my life, nutrition, physical fitness and mental health care. Yet I still find my mind always going.. Constantly thinking about things I can’t change or…

Lose fat and maintain muscle simultaneously
Hi everyone, quick back story. I've been overweight to obese most of my life. A little over two years ago I lost about 42kg (93lbs), I've gained about 6kg (13lbs) back of that. I lost the weight through tracking my calories on MFP and walking. Over the past two years I worked my way up to running and cycling. I'm pretty…

Is 5 Reps Enough?
I walk over 1 hour almost every morning, but I wanted to add some bodyweight exercises to my routine. I did 10 knee push ups, 10 squats, 10 lunges on each leg, 10 jumping jacks, a 30 second plank, and a 45 second side plank on each side. This left me pretty sore and feeling some concerning neck pain (from the plank,…

New member
Actually I’m a long term member but have just upgraded to Premium so that I could get more of a fully rounded program. I have gained 15 pounds over the last 6 months and I can’t seem to lose any of it. I need a community to support me in my goal. Someone needs to hold me accountable or I will never lose the weight alone.
