Exercise logging question
Exercise logging doesn't seem to be very flexible. My goal is 100 or more pull-ups per week. The days, sets, and reps per set vary depending on how I feel. But the logging interface is very rigid - you have to set up an exercise with a specified number of reps and sets, while mine vary all over the place. Similarly, I do a…

Those stubborn last 20 lbs

Now my husband and I are discussing baby # 3 and I want to lose the weight and improve my physical fitness. Has anyone made it over this hurtle that has any tips? Or does anyone want to…

Gym beginner overwhelmed with rules and macros and protein and calorie intake, calorie deficit:(
I’ve been at it for more than 2 months now and it still feels like a diet instead of a lifestyle, and I’m used to eating whole food with lots of fresh veggies and fruits but, I guess I lack organisation and consistency, adding to all that the disappointment when stepping on the scale, it’s not going back up, but not going…

45+ and Ready to Kick Some Butt! 🥋 Which Martial Art Should I Try?
Hey MFP So I'm 47 and having what I guess you could call a "martial arts midlife crisis" 😂 I keep watching action movies thinking "I could totally do that!" (spoiler alert: I probably can't... yet!) I'm reasonably fit but definitely not 20 anymore. My shoulds remind me of this daily. I'm looking for something that's:…

How can I start exercising?
Hello, I am new to this. I'm not very healthy right now, and I know it's probably important to start doing some exercise. But, I don't know where to really start and I kind of lack the motivation? Even when I really want to, I just can't get myself to do it. I don't know how to work on this :( I want to do better & be…

Starting my journey - again 😊 came in to say hello
Came in to see if I could build a tribe for community and accountability. I’m 62, live in the high desert of AZ. I’m raising a grandson, work fulltime, and have a hard time putting my self care first. I’m creeping up on some consequences of not taking care of myself, and refuse to give my doc all my retirement money!…

Easy Weight Loss with Tracking Too
Hi all, I'm on a goal to lose sixty pounds and have already gotten twenty off, mostly by reducing how much food I've eaten and passing time at the gymnasium & logging both the diet and the exercise here. I do think that myfitnesspal helps with my weight loss, and if I had a scale the regular feedback would do me even more…

Hello, been doing this for about 3 months
Hello I’m trying to lose 10 kg. Down 6 kg now. The last few kg have been slow to lose. Hoping that this will provide the strategy to keep the weight off. I’ve tried intermittent fasting but no luck. I’m still doing IF but need to control calories.

Calorie limit going down, why?
Okay I, finally, managed to get my Garmin to connect and log my (very limited steps), and now I have FEWER calories on a daily basis, and each day the number it is reducing it by is going up leaving me with even less to play with (started by removing 17, then 33, now up to 83 fewer calories!). Does anyone have any idea why?

Walk or Gym?
I have a goal of losing 5kg in 2 and a half months at most. Is it better to go for walks or go to the gym? I don't have much free time (if you didn't understand something, it's because I'm using the translator)

My Journey Building a Home Gym
Hey everyone, Just wanted to share a bit about my experience building a home gym over the past year. Like many, I started working out more from home, and while free weights and resistance bands were a good start, I eventually felt the need for something more versatile and safe—especially when lifting alone. After a lot of…

Positive Habits
I am back here on MFP after a very long absence. Despite much activity here in 2022, this is my first post. I'm working through an experiment which may be helpful to me. Recently I came across a journalling app that incorporates AI. Yes, I know…. it may sound corny, but please bear with me. Today, after adding my few…

New, but old here 👋🏼🤪
Hey y’all I have been using MFP on and off for years. I had to make a new profile because my old email was burnt toast. I just need to get more consistent with it here, apparently. My neurodivergent mind tends to struggle with that 🥲 but I’m hoping if I get some motivational friends on board with me here, maybe that could…

Weight gain status
Since there aren't many of us with this particular goal, I thought I'd create a thread where we gainers could share our status, issues, concerns, or questions. I think we could all learn much from each other and get some support as needed. I'll start. I'm recovering from an illness and dealing with golfers elbow, so it's…

Exercise everyday for a month starting 19th May 2025
I hate how I'm not consistent, especially with long hour shifts at work, I should still atleast have time to do 20 minutes minimum of some sort of exercise. So I have started this for my own accountability but if anyone wants to do the same then feel free to contribute. Exercises could be as simple as stretching, to…
