Diabetes Meal Plan and Goals
I’m newly diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and struggling to set goals and change my diet. It would be great if the app had some specific guidance to help with that management!
Tracking for gut health
Your gut health plan recommends to aim to consume at least 30 different kinds of fruits and veggies a week. It would be fantastic to have a weekly summary of how many different plants I’ve consumed, and suggestions on what other kinds to include if falling short of the goal. When I complete a day or a week, I’d like the…
Introduction
I'm not exactly new to My Fitness Pal but I am returning after a lapse of about a year. I am looking forward to cultivating new, healthier habits while incorporating a few more exercises into my week. I'm a 44 year old grandmother, who loves sugar, salt, and any kind of sour candy. I had a bit of an addiction to Cokes and…

Time for a change
Hi everyone, I’m a new app member looking to loose weight and get fit. I’ve tried to loose weight previously and following a diet I managed it no problem, having had my 3rd child I’m finding it hard to do the diet/weight loss again. So here I am hoping this app will help and what makes it good for me is, I’m even more…
How can I make my eating habits more consistent?
I normally eat pretty clean for the most of the week and hit my calorie goals and i consistently stay active as i workout 6 days a week and i do dance. However, during this time of year I have been going out more than usual and there have been some holiday parties and such. During these types of days I go extremely…
3rd Time losing weight
I have been 120lbs before too. It’s nothing that I or anybody needs to be concerned about but I just don’t want to buy new clothes. I hav done it before when I have bought medium sizes as I grew. Not this time, I will lose wait and wear my old clothes.
High protein snacks for work
I a looking to get back into things in the new year and I have a desk job. I was wondering if you could share suggestions for high-protein snacks I can eat in the office. I am happy to make things from scratch.
Is 115 pounds a good goal weight for a 5’4” female?
I currently weight 273 pounds. My goal weight is 115 lbs. I chose this goal weight because when I used to weigh 145 pounds years ago, and I still had a stomach. I want a flat stomach and I want to be able to fit in small outfits. I plan on getting gastric sleeve next year. I will also work out and eat healthy.

At my highest, I weighed 320 pounds, and over the years, I’ve lost 100 pounds—twice—but unfortunately gained it back both times.

Frikin newbie
Just joined yesterday, I started my Journey in September of 2023 at 287lbs and as a truck driver I found it hard to lose weight and eat healthy. Now today I’m at 220.4 and I hope this community will get me to my end goal of 180-190. I’m 51 years old and 5’11”.
Calorie deficit counter
Please this is very important I think for a lot of people. I do not want to see how many calories I still have to eat during the day, I just want to see simple and clear resting calories + active calories - calorie intake = calorie deficit. I counted it like this with my previous device and it worked perfectly, with you…
Lost 50# been here but never posted
I've been using my fitness pal for years but never used this feature. I live remotely so have a home gym only. I am female in my early 50's and lost 50's over the last 2.5 years. I'm finding no one is really that excited for you (like you are) when you lose weight. I don't want to post pictures on social media as I'm not…
Anything on the menu?
When I first hit the trails running on a diet I read certain items should be removed, like bread or grain items but now I understand that anything can be on the menu just so long as you control your intake. For example there was a guy named John Cisna who went on a McDonald's diet, he wrote about it in My McDonald's diet,…
Keto and vegetarian diet
I have dropped 10 lbs so far, weight 290, changing my life style. Want to weigh healthy weight and not be obese. Would like to run eventually. Exercising 45 minutes a day, at least. Would like to add weights. Have rower and recumbent bike. Could use support, meal ideas or follow my weight loss. Am also, diabetic type 2,…
Calculating Macros
In the past I have liked high protein macros. A few years back I went to a bariatric doctor, where I also spoke to a dietitian. The plan they put me on according to a friend who does body building was equivalent to around 1200 calories a day. I did a plan like this years ago and fell of fast and gained even more. In…

Help and advice needed with weight loss!!
I’ve been a calorie deficit since August and I’ve lost 21 pounds. I got down to 125 which is just 5 pounds off from my goal weight; however, once I updated my weight in the app it started to add more calories but not enough to where I wouldn’t still be in a deficit. I have since gained two pounds back and I haven’t been…
My Latest Weight Loss Journey
I recently went to the doctor and I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I am sure I am pre diabetic too. I am 51 years old, 207lbs, and 6'1". Just under the obese mark. So, I am kicking off my weight loss journey (again). It is pretty frustrating. I saw when setting up MFP that I have been a member since 2013. I…

Best Diet for Long Term
Hey everyone 👋 I was wondering which diet I should follow and which one also works best for me. There's so many. I was thinking of a simple vegetarian diet. But tbh I give in to meat and poultry a bit easily. Anyways, does anyone have any diets they recommend or dislike (:
It's me -again! Now down 32.4 pounds (Day 82) and in Love :)
The scale showed 315.6 lbs this morning. I have lost 32.4 pounds since September. I am all smiles. I have started to take pictures of myself. Not too pretty, but very honest. I will be a success story, so I will need them. :-) I am sugar-free (no added sugar), and the other day, I decided to eat the old soy yogurt that had…
