Exercise

Introduction
Hello! Greetings to all from New York! My name is Marianna! Looking forward to getting to know everyone on here!
I need to find a way to exercise
I have an elliptical, a treadmill, and a weighted hula hoop (I love that thing). I also stole my nephew's weight set. However, I don't know where to begin. I haven't worked in over a year and a half due to anxiety and depression and my fear of people as a whole has grown exponentially since middle school. Needless to say,…
Add Orange Theory Input
I work out at Orange Theory and your app does not let me log in really good exercise information from my workouts. Without this information I am losing critical information pertinent to my health fitness journey. If you can't add OTF as a partner, then please allow your app manual input to add the information.
New
Hello! I am new to fitness pal. I had emergency C-section almost 5 months ago. Been working out for 12 weeks/5-6 days a week. Looking to get my macros down and find healthy satisfaction In food.
INTRODUCTION
Hi! I’m new to this app and I’m here to try and lose weight! Hopefully building muscle and losing fat!
Hello yet again 😊
Hello! Been awhile since I've been on here. Really want to stay motivated to stick to some goals so figured I'd try this app again. I really enjoy it, and it's always helped me. Hopefully this time I can stick with it!😊
Exercise
I ride my horse and clean my barn daily for exercise however there is no option to enter this activity for burning calories! I would like to see that category of adding exercise like bike riding ,walking , swimming etc
Tracking my exercises
I'm a member of F45 and cannot figure out the best way to log my exercises. We do so many different movement in a 45 minute span it's impossible to track. Any suggestions.
Can you delete exercise on here?
I can't find a button to do it and I don't want to have it on there as I didn't burn that many cals and it's throwing me off.
Sync issues with Samsung health
I can only track steps via health connect app or workout via Samsung health. Why workout and steps both can't tracked or synced via Samsung health
Starting again
I have been on and off this app through the years. I just want to lose this excess weight!
58, overweight, 25 lbs to go
Hi, I'm Kate. I'm 58, 59 next month. When I got on the scale at the dr's, I was (finally) disgusted. I looked in the mirror later that evening, and saw a big fat glob. I'm 5'5", with what I consider a curious (to me) body structure. I have a very short torso-low rise jeans come up to my belly button; 36" inseam; my lowest…
Can someone please help me figure out a good calorie deficit?
I’m a 32yr old female, 5’9, 215lbs. I’m exclusively breastfeeding my 7mo old. She just recently started on solids so, I’m nursing around 4-6 times day and at least 2 times at night. Stressed and a little confused on how much to add/subtract calories for breastfeeding. Thank you in advanced!
How do you begin, and continue full speed without ‘giving up’?
I want to hear your ways. I have been unmotivated after taking off 3 months with a broken hand, and I just can’t seem to stimulate the motivation within to get back into a routine. I even work at a gym, but that doesn’t even clue me in to get moving.
Where do I start?!
I really want to start weightlifting... But I have no clue where to start. I can do the machines but should I focus on one muscle group at a time? Ugh I feel so lost.
Walking Warriors, let me hear you!
Walking is a low-impact exercise that can lift your spirits, retain/build some muscle, and expose you to sunlight and nature My story I injured myself (peroneal tendonitis in both legs) during a 10k. I used to run half marathons and confused myself into believing I could interval-run a 10k at my current (much heavier than…
Starting Over
I'm trying to get in as good a shape as possible at 70! I'm hoping the app will help me in this goal. I'm curious about how many people have moved to premium, and if it helps even more with getting in shape. Thanks to all!
Add percentage of exercise calories to daily calories
The present version allows users to either add or not add calories burned during exercise to the daily allowance. It would be helpful to allow the option of adding just percentage of calories burned during exercise. So for example I could indicate I wanted 50% of calories I burned at the gym, added to my daily allowance…
The Struggle is REAL!
Hello everyone! My name is Izzie! I've been using MFP on and off for about a year now but for the last few months I have logged every single day (except holidays where I can't go on my phone). I was eating balanced meals (30% fat/carb and 40% protein) and reaching about 1000-1200 calories per day for about a month and my…
I have 4 different workout apps
I have 4 different workout apps on my phone and am doing challenges on each of them everyday. And thinking about starting different challenges while still doing the other challenges everyday... This is a problem 😂😂
Unable to drop weight even after calorie deficit and active lifestyle
Background Age & Stats: 37 years old, 175 cm, currently weighing 81 kg. Active lifestyle, working out 3-4 times per week. In early 2020, I took drastic steps to improve my health—quit smoking, reduced alcohol intake, cleaned up my diet, and started working out. During lockdown, I maintained a calorie deficit by meal…
Daily calorie query
Hi, Just wondered if anyone could help with my query please. Ive been using my fitness pal since July 2024. I’ve lost almost two stone, when I first started using the app my daily calorie goal was 1250. I have electronic scales which are synced with the app already however one day I was playing around and re-entered my new…
Set macro goals per meal
I’ve love to be able to set macro goals per meal, I have a set amount of carbs for a pre workout snack/ amount of protein post workout and I have to keep checking back to my nutrition plan to make sure I’ve got the right number, I’d love to be able to set these up per meal so I know what my target is.
36 pounds down! I feel very accomplished for the first time
Before and after pics. I can see the difference, hopefully others can too. Before After

What workout routine do you recommend for beginners?
Hello, I will start working out on a gym next week and I have no idea what routines to do. I want to toned up my body but not too bulky. Can you please help me with my workout routine? Thank you!
Do you guys have any tips for someone that doesn't like exercise, but they have to anyways?
I'm a very obese 28 year old woman with Type 2 diabetes, and I find exercising dreadful. I don't know why, but I just hate it!
Any tips for finding workout motivation?
Hi all! Lately, I have lost the motivation to exercise. I do work full-time and school part-time so my time is crunched but even when I'm not busy, I have no motivation to exercise. I just am a couch potato. Any tips for finding that motivation to exercise?
Fitbit and/or circuit training?
Hello! Got a quick question for you all. When you're wearing a fitbit and it's counting steps, do you still log your circuit training separately?
