Back again
Hi everyone! I’m back, things have changed a bunch. It’s been a little over a year since I was active. I had knee issues and it’s been a long road. Bad slip in the snow in 2024. Not so much fun when you’re over 40. So I’ve picked up a bunch of weight due to not being active, and I have blood pressure issues. Time to get to…
Let’s cheer for each other
Well Hello! My new Fitness Fam. It’s nice to meet you all. I’m Kimberly, 41 years young and my goal is Body Recomposition, can we motivate one another. Where can I find some health and healing friends.
Hang in there…
Aaah it has been a journey…. I began with 80lbs to lose and started and stopped so many times. Lose it/Gain it. My FitBit showed I had lost 25lbs 37 times. When I would think of the massive number I would need to lose—- I would get overwhelmed… think I tried almost every nutrition idea/plan out there. They all worked…. But…

How can I make my eating habits more consistent?
I normally eat pretty clean for the most of the week and hit my calorie goals and i consistently stay active as i workout 6 days a week and i do dance. However, during this time of year I have been going out more than usual and there have been some holiday parties and such. During these types of days I go extremely…
Ability to put a bright green checkmark next to each food that is logged
I was thinking it would really be nice because I put all of my food for the day into MFP in advance that a bright green checkmark next to each listed and logged food item will be so nice to have so I can check off what I have eaten so far in the day at a glance. I think that would be very valuable.

Such a deep and intensive program that really addresses individual concerns. MFP is addressed and the lifestyle is sustainable. Loveeeeee
Need to develop health habits? Want to not "diet", but work on a healthy lifestyle? JOIN us
I have belonged to the 5% Challenges for quite a while. In doing so I've lost 108 lbs. Struggling now with heart issues and chronic kidney disease, I need to maintain what I've lost. Often the hardest part of weight loss, isn't the actual weight loss, but to not gain it back! Many of us on Myfitnesspal are familiar with…
Time for self-care!
Hello MFP friend, I like to take care of others, but easily forget about my own needs. Time to change some of these habits! I used MFP before and remember it as a nice community and looking for people to connect with, as I deleted my account in the past and created a new one today. If you like to encouraging each other, to…
Weight loss without, or with limited, physical activity.
Hi there. I've struggled with weight loss over the last 3-4 years, mostly due to medical/physical health issues. As a result, the amount of physical activity I could do is limited to none. I'd lose a pound or two, then gain... or remain at a stable weight, then gain... and gain. Life happens, etc. Well now, between May…

Does it seem most/some New Years start out with hope or dreams you want, but over time as they don't happen it becomes another "Next year!" thought?

Which foods are worth buying organic vs. which does it not really make a difference, and why?
I know some foods have peels, shells, husks, etc. that might absorb or repel the harmful substances that are not present in organic farming. For example, white rice is 10x as expensive to buy organic. What is the benefit?
Trying to step back into the community
Hi everyone! I'm Andrew, and I've been on MFP since 2013ish. In 2016, I had a mild health scare at 306 lbs and, through walking, going to the gym, healthier food decisions, and with the help of MFP, I dropped to 186 and virtually fixed my health problem (which was an irregular heart beat and PACs). I was literally in the…

I feel humble and full of joy -all 313 pounds of me
I took a day off today. Christmas had to come out of the attic and somehow find its way into our living room. We are older now. My husband is 66 and I just turned 61. When you get older, things get harder. When I got bigger and bigger and heavier and heavier, it almost killed me. Moving hurt, moving left me huffing and…
Long time follower, first time writer
I've been using the app for a long time, but I've never ventured into this area. My problem is overeating. I'm like shrew, I can eat at least three times my own weight. My other problem is that I don't like going to the gym. I'm aware of eating healthy and I understand why going to the gym would help with weight…
Just keep hiking
I've had a list of hikes that I've wanted to do for a long time. I've waited to lose weight, I've waited for friends to get up to the same ability so they could come with me. I waited to come up with more excuses. This year I decided it was enough and June 1st I changed from focusing on the scale and working to get…
