A guide to get you started on your path to Sexypants.
I generally think that people put emphasis on things that either don't matter at all or only matter a small amount while ignoring the things that matter a great deal. Overview of what I think is important: * Eat the appropriate caloric (and macronutrient) intake for your goals and track intake accurately. I think eating…

118kg > 60kg - I'm going now!
Hi! I guess this is the next start of my journey. I say next start, because I've started many times. Just never stuck with it. I'm Jackie! I'm 32 and from the cold north, a.k.a Sweden. My goal is to lose weight and become a happier and healthier version of myself. I've used MFP before, but didn't stick with it. I'm willing…

Help! My weight loss has slowed to a crawl!
After hitting my first mini goal of 20lbs, I've only lost 0.7lbs in the last three weeks. I believe I've hit my first plateau, it's frustrating. Anyone have tips or advice how to bust through a plateau?

First time poster. Sharing my story
Hello! I'm Zach. I've been using mfp off and on for around a decade, but I've never posted on the forums. Figured I might as well give it a go and share a bit about my journey. I've been uncomfortable with my weight for as long as I can remember. Even as a child, I was on the heavy side. I spent my whole life thinking…

Foundation, foundation, foundation (Alternative title: In weight loss, I am the dog.)
I'm a professional dog trainer and a dog sports competitor -- stick with me, I have a point. One of the big principals in dog training is basically about laying a strong foundation, and only increasing the difficulty when you have success 80+ percent of the time. Another one is that you make getting it right as obvious and…

Hit my first mini goal today!
I've lost my first 20lbs! 21.6 to be exact. I even broke out some of my "what if pants" and was able to wear them. I cut almost all carbs out this past week and learned my body loves sugar and carbs if I eat just a small amount I maintain or gain weight. I'm going need all the motivation I can get because I love carbs 😁…

Week one down and no lose 😭
Feeling frustrated already in getting back on this plan. I kept my calories close or under the suggested daily intake and I didn't lose a pound. I figured I'd at least lost a little, even a quarter pound would have made me feel a little better about. In the past I would have lost a little, the only thing that's changed is…

What am I doing wrong? App says I’m like 1K cal / day
I have no idea what I’m doing wrong here but the app is yelling at me saying I’m only eating like a thousand calories a day. I really don’t think I’m eating that little of food, what am I underreporting on? Can anyone tell me common mistakes when first using the app?

A Podcast About "The Calorie"
I like food. Big surprise, right? I like to eat, and I like to cook. I like to watch cooking shows on public television and listen to them on public radio. Public television is the only thing that I can pick up over the air, but that’s irrelevant. If I had other channels, I’d probably watch food shows there too. When I had…

Oops! Just saw Show Us Your Graphs discussion...
Sometimes I just need a boost, and will take it anywhere I can find it! So much daily/weekly/hourly focus on the specifics that I can control. Seeing the incremental changes that result.

Fad Diets and general recommendations
Often times on myfitnesspal we get users asking about various diets such as one where you eat all bananas or one where you drink cayenne pepper and lemon juice daily. I wanted to make a brief video to talk about whether or not diets like this are a good idea and why or why not? And if not, what's a reasonable alternative?…

Hi everyone. I decided to rejoin after not using the app much before and this is my first time actually using the community feature.

Down 10 pounds in 14 days!
So, I'm in the military and I have semi-annual weigh-ins every 6 months. Like most of us, COVID caused some weight gain. Well, I have to weigh-in in a a few days and I'm having to slough weight like a madman. Since starting my new routine, I'm down 10lbs in 14 days... which is insane. And it's not like it's even had. 10k…

Calories in egg whites - confused?
My egg whites say there is 45 calories in 1/3 of a cup (100g) but 1/3 of a cup is not close to 100g when weighed it's only about 70g. What should I track by to make sure I'm as accurate as possible by the 1/3 cup or by 100g? Or something else completely?

Hunger and correct calorie counts
I'm trying to figure out if I've got the right calorie goals for me. When I set up MFP, I set it to sedentary and 2lb/wk loss. I weighed 315 at 6', 34yo female. I've been at this for almost 2 months now, I'm 299 as of this morning. My cals were set at about 1780. I have a fitbit alta hr that I set to do negative counts…

This time around... I cannot lose weight no matter how hard I try
50f, 5'11", 242 lbs. I've been using MFP off and on for a few years now but fell off the wagon after my mother died in 2018. Over the next four years, I devoted my life to caring for my father, and then my grandmother. Now that they have passed, I'm focusing on myself and my health. A couple of months ago, I started going…

The Slow Creep
Hi all, in 2020 I lost ~40 lbs logging food and through regular exercise. Well, I’m happy to say I’ve maintained the regular exercise which has been great for my mental health and body (and heart too I guess), but I’ve slacked off the logging. I’ve gained almost 10lbs since logging regularly (since about Oct ‘21). I’m sure…
