New here, again
Hi all, 11 years ago I lost 53 lbs through MFP, but over the years and hormone changes, I’ve now gained back quite a bit of it. So I’m going to give this another go! Shout out to everyone who keeps on trying. I welcome friends who are accepting of themselves and others. Punsters, punks and poets particularly welcome 😁

Hello, been doing this for about 3 months
Hello I’m trying to lose 10 kg. Down 6 kg now. The last few kg have been slow to lose. Hoping that this will provide the strategy to keep the weight off. I’ve tried intermittent fasting but no luck. I’m still doing IF but need to control calories.

Do Arbonne fizz sticks break a fast?

Tips on getting started
Hey everyone! I’m brand new to this app, and actually brand new to health and fitness all together! I’ve been pretty healthy my whole life and the last 5 years I’ve gained a significant amount of weight and I just feel terrible.

Intermittent Fasting
Hey All! I wanted to hear your stories if you have used intermittent fasting. Has this worked for you? Do you workout before/during/after your fast? What are obstacles for you For context, I started fasting at the start of 2025 using a 16:8 fasting app and workout in the middle of my fast. I typically don't eat breakfast,…

Fasting Timer. Countdown and End time.
My thoughts, besides counting up to the time for example 16hrs, could we have it cout down?16hrs to 0. Also since we use the current time to start it, can we have a time shown when it will be done. For example if a 16hr fast starts at 1:50pm on Tuesday the timer would show what time it will be 16hrs from then.

I am a new member.
hello everyone. I started with the app 5 days ago. I have been fasting for 3 months now. I haven’t lost a lot of weight which I am disappointed at. I eat two meals a day and I needed support in doing this. Weight is one of my goals and reducing insulin resistance is all so a major aim. I have started going to the gym and I…

Fasted toggle button for certain meals
It would be beneficial to have an option next to each meal that indicates if you fasted through that particular meal. If you selected "fasted" it would be even more beneficial to reallocate those calories into the remaining meals.

How do you log a day of fasting?
My name is Karen. I just started using this app to track meals about a week ago and I came across my first challenge, which is how to log a day of fasting. I didn’t pre-plan the fast so when I went to the section that says to Plan a Fast, it doesn’t give an option to log a fast I started earlier in the day. Any thought? 💭…

Intermittent Fasting
I can log intermittent fasting on my mobile app, but I cannot see on the desktop version. I also cannot export anything for intermittent fasting. This is very frustrating. I would add it to the desktop view and include in the reports.

Decided to give posting a try - fell off but I’m back
Hi everyone, so I fell off for a while with tracking my calories and eating healthy and just staying focused and so I decided that maybe I should try posting for Accountability. In my defense, though I don’t need any, Christmas Thanksgiving, and then January, which is my three kids birthday month has been pretty difficult…

Introducing 🥁... Myself!
I have used MFP for 7 years, with varying intensity. When I use it seriously, it never fails. Looking back, I am not sure what knocks me off, unless it is extended travel with unusual food choices and a disrupted routine. I have never reached out to join the community but I'm hoping that an accountability group will help…
