Looking for A Buddy Feb 2025
Hi I'm looking to Buddy up with another Newbie for Chit chat and Support and maybe a giggle or 2 .. . Cheers Maggie
Calorie counting
I've just started using this app to keep myself from gaining weight by overeating. However, I've caught myself undereating and constantly stressing about what I eat even when I'm very hungry. I'm worried that I'm pushing myself too hard. I'm 250lbs and just starting my journey. I just need some help understanding if I'm…
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…
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.

Introducing Me
Hi Everyone! 😊 I'm Keerthy Mohan, and this is my first time trying out this app. I got to know about it through an assignment for my class, and I'm really glad I discovered it. It’s already bringing a sense of positivity, and I’m excited to explore more! Nice to meet you all! 🌟
Natty or Not
Do you think it's important for fitness influencers to declare whether they take enhancement drugs or not?
Not a question but just a hello 👋🏻
Hello I am a new older member on this app and wanted to say a nervous hello, as I have just started or should I say re-started my new me personal fitness campaign 🙂. After a serious illness, it's time to have this last throw of the dice. I have got a super coach, great new gym, and hope that this app and community can help…
Easy and quick kid friendly recipes for dinner?
My husband and I are new to using the app. We are both trying to eat right but it’s incredibly hard when you have picky eaters to feed as well. Does anyone have some fast and easy kid friendly recipes they could share?
Loss of Control
When I am faced with foods I WANT to eat but I know I shouldn't. I go for it every time. Does anyone else have this problem? The voice in my head is shouting NO but I still go for it. And I am sad, and ashamed. I have no self-respect. I need help, anything to help me choose the right foods.
Weight Loss Rhythm
I have a weird kind of question, I guess it mainly depends on how an individual is goal-orientated. But which method of goal setting works better? "I will lose 50 lbs in one year" or "I will lose 10 lbs in two months"
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…
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…
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.
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!
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…
Diabetes Nutrition
I am a diabetes and trying to control my calories using this app. If anyone trying the same goal let’s connect. Happy new year!!

**"Lifelong Weight Loss Journey: Finding Balance in My 70s"**
Hi everyone, I’m in my 70s and have been on a lifelong journey with weight and health. At my highest, I weighed 320 pounds, and over the years, I’ve lost 100 pounds—twice—but unfortunately gained it back both times. Despite the ups and downs, I’m currently 50 pounds down and feeling determined to keep moving forward. My…

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…
