Giving this app a go
My name is Brian and I’m from Colorado. I’m giving this app a go. I’ve been on my journey for a few years now, and made great gains.

"Despite exercising daily for an hour, adopting intermittent fasting for the past three days, and maintaining a balanced diet with occasional homemade junk food, my weight remains unchanged at 69.70 kilograms. Any insights into why I'm not seeing any weight loss progress?"

I tried to go to a beginner’s yoga class once and I was so tight and had no balance. I recently started to do the 7 minute stretch exercises that this app recommended for a…

Old dog, new tricks
I resolved to lose weight about two years ago. With the help of Noom I lost 55 lbs. I started to take Pilates lessons, walked more, and reduced my A1C from 7.2 to 6.0. I’m diabetic 2. I gained about 10 lbs back and want to lose it and then some more. Being diabetic makes food choices more complex.

This past year and a half has been difficult with a knee injury (6 months post surgery now) and a persistent foot stress fracture, post knee recovery. These have severely impacted my walking which is my main source of exercise. Due to the lack of walking…
Hello again.
Just wanted to say hello everyone. It's been a while. From 2017-2018 I had lost 76 lbs using MyFitnessPal. I was so happy… Unfortunately, without getting into the specifics as to why, I fell off track, put the weight back on...and then some. So I'm posting here today to keep myself accountable and tell myself I can do this…
