Hey, my name is Betty, I’m 52, 5’1, and I was at 200lbs. I weighed at my doctor’s office last week and the scales said 193lbs, so I’m very pleased. I’m doing my best to eat better.

What's my Activity Level?
So going off descriptions, I am Not Very active as I sit at a desk most days. But I don't see a place to input how much exercise I am doing throughout the day as I am going out for walks at minimum twice a day for 10-15 minutes. But I can also be more active either in quantity of walks or duration

New Member 😊
Hi everyone, my name is Tobi. I’m a new member here on MyFitnessPal. My starting weight is 95kg and I have a goal to lose 15kg in 3 months and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I’m open to any tips you may have to offer. And I’d like to make friends for an accountability support group. I really enjoy cooking and chatting.
Why does My Fitness Pal use a projection of daily exercise instead of real-time?
I am more active in the mornings with cardio and strength exercise. It seems like MyFitness Pal projects a whole day's exercise calories based on my early morning activities with my Fitbit Versa4 and then throughout the day it adjusts downward to my actual exercise calories. This messes with my daily tracking. Does anyone…

Returning MFP user
Hello everyone, Lawrence here. I joined MyFitnessPal back in 2012 when I weighed 95 kg (202 lbs). Through exercise, proper diet, and the help of this app, I managed to lose weight, eventually reaching around 68-70 kg (149-155 lbs). And yeah I was on my 20's that time. However, over the years, I reverted to my old habits…

Is exercise added to the calorie goal?
I put in my information and, assuming its all correct as ill question the numbers separate from this question, I have a calorie goal of 1680. If i then do 45 mins of walking cardio at 3.5mph and I burn 240 calories. Does my calorie intake goal then go up to 1920? I do 45mins of this cardio 6 days a week... so essentially…
How to train the lower body?
I do so many exercises but I'm not seeing a difference! So frustrating. I do all types of squats, 5 min plank, jumping Jack's, go for 30 min runs, YouTube home workouts? Can you all give me some ideas . I feel like I need help with my diet along with the exercise • Booty • Thighs •Lower stomache

What It Has Taken
What it's taken for me to finally get on the right path after years - no, decades - of struggling, starving, trying on my own, getting injured, quitting, losing momentum, starving myself ... It took me hitting rock bottom, meaning, stepping on that scale and vowing to face the number, and then, reorganizing my entire life.…

Brooks Runners
Firstly, I aspire to be a runner. Currently I carry too much weight and in an aging body I am overly cautious about joint damage. I danced and played soccer ⚽️ all my youth, went back to play a season around age 45 at my heaviest weight because if I couldn’t move for something I loved I might as well be dead. I lived…
Appetite and stomach upset after hard workouts and training runs + sleep disruption
Hi all! I am struggling to manage the syptoms mentioned in the title here. After training runs (so today for instance my long run was 11 miles) I feel stomach upset to where it’s difficult to eat, sometimes for the full rest of the day. I try to force myself to eat well rounded meals, protein and carbs immediately after…
How do you manage exercise with migraines?
I am wondering how people manage exercising if they suffer from migraines? I’m barely managing just working a job, which makes it really hard to exercise and risk bringing on more migraines. (I know some people say exercise helps migraines, but it does the opposite for me). This is probably a question with no definitive…
