New to MFP,
I'm at my all time heaviest (281 lbs), and it's having an impact on my overall health. I'm 60 y/o (how did that happen!!), sedentary, and have been home-bound since the pandemic started (high risk underlying medical condition). I've been extremely sedentary, and am at the point where it's challenging to do much. I'm…

Best way to measure weight loss?
I don’t have a scale, I got rid of it when we moved but I’m hesitant to buy another one as sometimes, I would get very discouraged by the number I saw. Is it better to use body measurements, a scale, both? What have you all found works the best for a true idea of progress, as well as what works the best to help not get…

Anyone interested in a Beat Saber cardio group?
I play too much Beat Saber, and none of my friends IRL have a virtual reality headset or play rhythm games. If you have a VR setup and you're looking for fun cardio, Beat Saber is the way to go! Songs include dashing side-to-side, squats, and flailing your arms about wildly. In 30 minutes at my current fitness level, my…

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…
