I've lost 90 lbs!!!!
2 1/2 years! I truly never thought I'd lose as much as I have and feel as good as I do! Started out this journey bc I couldn't move from the couch. Living with Degenerative Disc Disease in your back SUCKS!! It's extremely painful and leaves you vulnerable to having bulging disc, another excruciating pain, among other…

Trying it out
I’ve been a member of MFP for years but found another app that I actually liked using and have been with it for a few years. But, I’m back again to give MFP another try. Right now, my plan is to meet my protein goals. I’ve slacked this summer with nutrition and it’s time to change that. Life has also gotten in the way of…

Hello
I’ve had this app for a while but never used it seriously. I’m at 148 lbs and my target is 135. I’ve joined Orange Theory and while it’s helping, I need to eat right to really make a difference. Looking for friends who can inspire each other through this journey. Good luck to you all!

New to this
22, used to eat whatever I wanted and keep some abs. Doctors put me on meds that I didn't need and ruined my metabolism, causing me to gain close to 45 pounds. I never really learned how to do any of this because I didn't need to. If anything people joked I needed to gain weight, but I feel it was too much.

Hey everyone! I'm new (again! Lol)
I've used my fitness before and it was extremely helpful to keep me in a calorie deficit. But unfortunately I took a break due to some family tragedies and it's been difficult getting motivated to start back up. A little about me, I'm married and turning 39 this year. I had 2 babies back to back in 2020 (13 months apart!),…

Formerly lost 60 pounds on Naturally Slim (Wondr Health)
Hi, I’m Kenneth from Texas. My goal is to lose 27 pounds with the help of MyFitnessPal. My goal weight is 181. I visited a dietitian and he calculated that to lose 1.5 pounds a week I should limit my calories daily to 1,800. This app is so helpful in tracking what I consume. It’s all about regaining discipline in my diet.…

I have been dieting for 5 months now and have lost a total of 5 pounds. I exercise daily and eat 1200 calories per day. I’m not sure what to do.
