Exercise

Can I realistically reach my glute/toning goals at home with dumbbells up to 15kg?
I’m a 27 y/o woman, 157cm tall, currently 51kg. My main goal is glute growth — aiming for a 7–12cm increase (from ~93cm hips to around 100–105cm), plus overall toning and some upper body definition. I haven’t trained in years, but I plan to work out consistently 3–4x/week. I already have a diet and workout plan in place.…
20 More Pounds
I honestly just want to lose 20 more lbs but I feel like I'm just not going anywhere. The place I work at is very physical. I lift 50 lb bags pretty much for 12 hours 5 days a week. I try to stay around 1000 calories. I started out at 250 lbs roughly and I'm in the 160s now. My ultimate goal is the 130s but I would be…
Here we go
I am 71 and trying again to loose weight. This app is so helpful. Have a blessed day
Introduction
Hi there. I’m Sam m 22 years, 245 pounds 6”. I used to be an athlete but since my injury life has put me on a weight gain cycle, looking for friends and people with same interests to get myself back to the glory days.
Finally checking in
trying to get and stay fit in my mid-fifties. Feeling alone and isolated even though I know I’m not. Thought I’d drop an intro here to get connected. I am learning to enjoy exercising again, with modifications for now. I go to a Barre blend class 2x week, and this summer an early morning HIIT workout twice a week. I’m…
Saying hello!
been using MFP on and off quietly in the background. I’ve lost 150ish lbs over the past three years. Never reached goal weight, but it’s creeping back on and I just want once and for all to lose this last 30lbs and maintain in a 5lb range. I can be a great cheerleader and looking for like minded people. Me and my grandson…
Fitbit exercise linked to MFP
Can anyone explain how the calorie adjustment on MFP works? Is it purely for your steps or does it take into consideration all the other exercise logged in your Fitbit? I have them linked but today I walked 12,000 steps, did a 30 minute hit session (recorded as 200 calories on fitbit) and 15 min cross trainer (100…
Pain in forearms
Hey guys, everytime I let go of the preacher curl bar there is excruciating pain in my inner forearm bone (the Ulna) i took a break from them for 3 months and started to train my forearm muscles but tried again today and the pain is still there. Any tips? Has that happened to anyone else too?
Please help
I doubt anyone is gonna see this, but I am quite literally desperate at this point. I really want to gain muscle in places that'll make me look more like a guy - I'm transgender - but I have no idea where to start. For reference to anyone that wants to help me out, and 5'4.5 and fluctuate between 105-110 pounds. I really…
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
Hello! I've lost about 35 lbs since my son was born 4 years ago but I always get stuck at around 165-170lbs. I just want to be at 150. 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…
ITS TIME
Hey hey there folks. I’m Kevin but u can call me “Papa K”. I’m a 60 year old, peg-legged paramedic with a state of the art prosthetic leg, needing to lose 70 lbs for many reasons. I’m not new to MFP, but I need to make some new friends and new commitments. I’m an EMT Instructor but the dynamics of my job have changed. It…
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…
Introduction
Hi, Myself Abdul Moiz and I'm new to My Fitness Pal and my aim is to build muscles and some weight
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…
