Is anyone really satisfied with their "success"?
I know I should be. I'm not. I started at 312lbs and am at 227lbs now. I've been at it for almost 2 years. I take a progress photo almost every day and say to myself "some day when I get where I want to be I'll put them all together and make a time lapse and share it." Someone who has reached "success" and I mean you truly…
Trying My Fitness Pal
I lost 25 pounds on Weight Watchers but program is too expensive. I’ve used My fitness pal briefly before. Going to try out the free version for now. Need to lose at least another 25+ pounds. Any words of advice for this over 50 gal is greatly appreciated.
Introduction
Hello! Pleased to meet you all. You can call me Moon. I started using MFP over a month ago now. I use a Garmin Venu 3 and an iPhone. I need to lose 30lbs more (I’ve lost 7 so far) and increase my muscle mass. At my goal weight I have a nice balance of the two. I’ve lost the weight before, and I can do it again. I wanna…

Currently on Mounjaro
Greetings ~ MyFitnessPal Pals!! I have used MyFitnessPal on and off for years. I now find that I have Type 2 Diabetes and have been taking insulin as well as other medications to lower my blood sugar and A1C. I started taking Mounjaro a few months ago.

Struggling to lose the last pounds of fat.
Hi everybody ! To say I'm struggling is an understatement. For the background, I'm a woman and I weighed 90 kilos (200lbs) at my highest, and I lost it all without any help, making a few mistakes during the process (by cutting calories a lot, until I was down to 500/800 kcal a day, but at the time it worked like a charm).…
Hi!

Show expected breakfast time
On the intermittent fasting counter, alongside the stopwatch, it would be helpful if it would project your program’s target breakfast time. So I know that if I eat late one night, exactly what time lunch will be in, say, 16 hours. I.e. just a target time that shows if you’re on the 16:8 program what time the next day your…

hi :) I’m 26 years old and 178 cm tall and I’m a med student. I really try to lose weight before my wedding which will happen on November but I want to change my life style so it will remain even after the wedding, and most of all, I don’t want to suffer during the process. My weight is 90.8. Can someone please help me…
Will the recommended calorie deficit and macros actually help me lose weight?
hi! I’ve been using my fitness pro for a couple years now but I’ve always had a coach or myself manually adjust my calories and my macros but now I want to try something different. I adjusted my weight and how many pounds I’d like to lose in a week and I’m wondering if the recommended numbers my fitness pal gave me will…
Hitting a plateau? Let’s talk about what actually works
I see a lot of people hitting sticking points, you’re training hard, eating well, but the scale or mirror isn’t moving. I’m curious how do you deal with plateaus in your fitness journey? • Do you increase volume, change exercises, or tweak nutrition? • Have you tried anything that actually broke through a plateau? Let’s…
Scale wont budge.
I am frustrated.....I am in a calorie deficit every day, eating protein, low carb most days, daily exercise. Based on my intake and output I should be losing at least 1- 1 & 1/2 lbs a week. Some weeks 2 lbs. Scale is not moving at all for a couple weeks. In fact it went up about a pound and a half. My typical day has about…

Add Day Start Time Adjustment
By now start time adjustment is a feature in almost every tracking app, and with MFP being the #1 most popular I’m highly surprised it doesn’t have the option yet. I’ve seen threads about it on Reddit dating back over 5 years, yet night shift workers (like myself) are still scrolling back to the previous day to make sure…
Middle aged and looking to FINALLY crack my addiction to salty junk food
I'm V, middle aged and am absolute junk food addict - particularly salty snacks. It is about time I tackled my addiction and focused on my health and weight. I am not new to the weight loss rodeo, or MFP but it has been many years since I have been able to commit to a healthy lifestyle and it sort of feels like 'now or…
Struggling to lose weight after a history of disordered eating (content warning)
Hello, I am a 20 y/o female, 155cm/5'1, 53.5kg/118lbs. I suffered from anorexia when I was 16 to just under 18, and weighed about 90-100lbs. I have since well recovered but often find myself eating unhealthily and emotionally, and now I am close to 120lbs. I am aware this is a healthy weight but I would like to lose some…
Week 1 of Intermittent Fasting
I am 383 Lbs and on Mounjaro. I started at 420 in the beginning of the year. I follow a low-carb diabetic diet to support my Type 2 husband. I have been obese since my late teens and being disabled limits my ability to exercise. I've been a proponent of healthy eating and cooking since my early 30s. I even have a side…
CheatYAY or NAY for Cheat days
What is your opinion about Cheat days? A) Break all the "rules" and eat anything and everything. B) Stick mostly to the plan with more leniency than usual. C) Not interested in cheat days. D) Other I'm usually B, like Boar's Head says: "Compromise elsewhere". But being a (10years) recovering alcoholic/ addict I know how my…

Trying to keep my carbs low.
Found out I have a fatty liver, will be seeing my gastrologist in January after having many blood tests, a fibro-scan to find out those results. When I saw this specialist he wanted me to lose 10 lbs. So far I've lost 12lbs. My family doctor wants me to lose much more. I'm on a low carb diet now and will be seeing a weight…
Best resource for customized recipes: ChatGPT
AI has been a game changer for me on my wellness journey. I have used it to create gluten-free vegetarian recipes, high-protein recipes, and low-calorie snacks. It's an amazing tool for dietary restrictions—my sister uses it for her son that has a special diet. One of my favorite things about using it is that I can tell it…
Add check boxes in daily tracking
Hi! I think it would be SO helpful if you guys could add check boxes to the daily diary. I pre-track my food for the day but I also have ADHD so sometimes I forget if I have eaten or drank everything I've tracked. Just a very small example, like I might track two string cheeses but I don't want both at the same time. I can…
