Step Challenger here!
Hello! Counted calories for the past 20 years and always trying to find new ways to be fit. I am training for another half-marathon after getting a concussion in January (earlier this year).

I've lost over 110 LBS!!
It was simply by hard work!! No fads, no gimmicks, (these things may LOOK GOOD on ads, but the reality of them never work out long term). I cut back my calories, I tracked all of my food, I started off so slowly with exercise because when you weigh 288 lbs it's NEVER EVER EASY!! Now I am at 175 (BYE BYE 113 lbs!) What did…
Body fat percentage
So today was my weigh in day and the day I use my tape measure. The ultimate goal here is to lower my body fat percentage. It’s always uncomfortable going up a little on my scale. I gained a few ounce(which I know could be water retention) but my measuring across the board has went down. So I’ve lowered my body fat…

A few success stories and why they love the 2022 Spring 5% Challenge
It helps to hear from others who are on a challenge to see if it's worth the while for YOU to join us.

Non food rewards after working out?
In order for me to stay motivated to workout I need a reward but don't want it to be food related. Does anyone know of some weekly non food rewards I can use to keep my momentum of exercise up? If so please let me know, the more the better. Thanks!
Never to Old to Set BIG Goals
Hello All!!! I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Frank. I'm 65 years old. On December 31 I weighed 268 pounds, smoked a pack of cigarettes a day and drank 18 beers a day. I got tired of it ALL and decided I wanted to return to my health at 40 years of age. At 40 I used to love hiking, cycling, friends,…

I was so full of both hope, but also fear, the fear of "I TRIED THIS BEFORE and it DID NOT WORK!" Please share what helped you when you new, as you continued…
Weight relapse (gained 20+ pounds)
I was on a consistent healthy diet and exercised 4 days a week and lost 18 pounds in 6 months, but then earlier this year I had enormous stresses in my life which cause me to stress-eat and gain everything back and more. Felt like giving up, but downloaded MFP to try and restart my weight loss journey. Any tips on how I…
Its just not easy to lose on my own
How many times have I started to lose weight only GAIN IT BACK? This has been a life time struggle. Oh I know I am not alone. If it were easy I'd of been at goals over 8 years ago. Being older it's surely not easy, but I also did not find it easy when I was in my 40's or even 50's. I first gained weight in my mid 30's, but…
Looking for support in weight loss/maintaining?
Years ago I weighed 288 lbs, I am now at 175 lbs, GONE a TOTAL of 113 lbs!!! When I first started at 256 with another site, since that point we've transferred to MFP, I was in a power chair 97% of the time. Being in the powerchair was not all because of weight, I did get medical help on that, but the weight surely made it…

Weight back on, down and out, need some motivators
Hello all, so in one year I was doing great and lost 45 pounds from 2019 to 2020. Covid time I lost all motivation and now its all back on and 5 extra pounds. No excuses, my self to blame only. I made the choice and let things get to me. I started doing better and worked out today again and tracking well to start. I am…
Glad to be here!
Hello guys and girls. I am joining the community a bit late (8 months since I started my weight loss journey, to be exact). However, I am really happy to report that today I have lost almost 30 kgs in 8 months. MFP has been an integral part of my journey. I am looking forward to add active members to my friends so that we…
Favorite workout clothes brand and why?
I'm a combination of Lulu Lemon, Nike and Adidas. All for different reasons. Lululemon shorts the best. Nike and Adidas T-shirts just seem to fit without being baggy.
Stay Motivated
How is everyone doing? Here is some motivation for you! “The comeback is always greater than the setback” “Today is the first day of the rest of your life”
Hi from Ohio!
Hi, I have used MyFittnessPal in the past - but took the plunge to premium to better monitor my salt and sugar intake. I have never participated in the community, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I am a 45 year old mom of 4 girls. I work full time and am a master at not fitting in anything for me - working out, food prep…
