Intermittent Fasting

Is it possible to lose 4 pounds in 21 days?
I'm a 5'4 female and I have been on this weight loss journey for about a month or so now. I start at 132 lbs and now I'm at 126. I will be traveling next month and I really want to lose a little more weight. I know the first 5 pounds were water weight. I eat more or less than 1200 calories a day (depends on how much…
Add a 24 hour fast
Firstly, I love the new fasting feature! Way to go! Being unable to track fasting often derails me because I forget to start tracking after the fast. Your new feature works great for days I fast for 14 hours or less. Unfortunately, when I need to do a 24 hour fast for religious reasons, there is no way to track that. Many…
Intermittent Fasting when you're always on the go?
I'm starting IF again. I want to do 20:4 with one meal and one snack but I feel like my schedule makes it tricky. My typical routine is to grab fast food at some point during the day, snack here and there and eat a meal when I get home for the night usually at 10 or 11pm. So it's going to be a big change. I wake up around…
Intermittent fasting app question
Good morning! I’m just starting my subscription with MyFitnessPal. I have been doing intermittent fasting for the last several months and I really enjoy it. I’m wondering if anyone can help me with the app? When I plug in a start time of 12 PM, it automatically gives me a 4 AM end time which is incorrect (selecting 16:8).…
Intermittent fasting
I am looking for some guidance on how to log IF. I want to start at 8pm on Day 1, and finish at noon on Day 2, for a 16:8 profile. But the app doesn't seem to allow this, and keeps telling me my start/end times aren't correct. How do you guys log your IF? And is there a way to put this on the Dashboard? Thanks
Life is better after 50
So I’m back again, and looking for new friends and accountability partners. Cleaned out my friend list and am looking for the 50 and up crowd. My story - I am experiencing all the joys of a 52 year old woman. I have recently been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Disease that on top of menopause make losing weight a struggle!! At…
MFP accountability buddies🔥🎯
Hallo! I'm looking to make friends in the mfp community. I used to be sick, inactive and inconsistent with my behaviour, habits and approach to my nutrition which affected health. I made changes to my approach and habits and it has paid of with interest! You can take back your power too🔥 Lets connect as friends and help…
I don't know how to post to a specific thread??
I am trying to post to the 50+ group. My name is Luanne, and I am a Newbie. Was once on a weight loss challenge over 10 years ago, and we used this platform. I lost. 😒 Story of my life. Lol. I am from a small mountain community in California. We are at 5700 ft, and are expecting new snow tonight!
Ketogenic Diet
I am looking on incorporating this method into my IF. I wonder what successes others have had with the ketogenic way of eating? What do you do for cravings for carbs during this initial time you're getting used to it?
Import fasting history from Zero
The addition of Intermittent Fasting to MFP is good enough for me to stop using Zero. I know Zero has more features and fasting-specific content, but I don't need another app in my life. Anyway, Zero allows for exporting your data in a readable/parsable json file. MFP could import this file to unify fasting history for…
CO2 Footprint Low C02 diet
By limiting food consumption we limit the green house gases emissions. A cool feature would be to calculate the C02 used based on the food we eat on a daily basis and cumulative basis. This helps put in perspective the damages to the environment as well as to our healths by overeating.
How is it that my weight is going up after initially going down. I haven't changed anything!
I've been using MFP for 3 weeks. Initially my weight dropped but the last 2 days it's gone up!! I've been following 16-8, calories, exercising.....where could I be going wrong??? I'm 43.

Finding a Suitable Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
Hi - Love myfitnesspal ! I haven't found a discussion forum on how to find a good registered dietitian nutritionist. I have several underlying conditions nothing major and curious to how folks have found a good RDN and their experience. I've looked at my insurance info and other sites like…
Introduction
Hi, I am not one to dive into these communities but after my 3rd major lapse around emotional eating I am back at it to keep it off for good. Figured dropping an intro and doing this a little differently will help. I am a non profit bicycle guy. Love the beauty of a bicycle and want to race on a track this year and thus…

Damn that was a lot of weight and I didn’t like myself, I remember this time last year exactly Dec 18th I decided to change my life…
Stagnated phase
Hey guys Since over a year and a half I have been on and off the fitness regime. I worked out let’s say about 3 workouts a week on average, walked an average of 3 kilometres a day and also played squash on and off in this journey. My body reciprocated well in terms of weight, I have been weighing consistent for all these…
I have to succeed for my dog
I have been putting it off for years. I was diagnosed with RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2014) and back then I wanted to lose weight and actually did. An incurable disease, an autoimmune disorder. It’s a special nightmare 'normal' people can't understand. I have been on a daily dose of Prednisone for eight years besides…
Intermittent fasting for women/30s
I'd love to hear others' opinions on intermittent fasting, specifically women. I'm trying to lose weight and I am having the hardest time. I tried macros, low cart etc. and it didn't work (along with a lot of exercise). I've started 16/8 fasting. My question is - if you're on a birth control pill is it ok to fast…
What's your weight loss rate per week?
I'm interested to know what's your weight loss rate so I can measure if I'm doing it right. I've started my diet on 2nd December, so it's been 9 days. I'm following a strict keto-like diet. I've cut out all carbs and sugars and living off salads, meat and chicken. I sometimes miss meals and snacks e.g. today I had 1 meal…
Intermittent Fasting Start time and end time options
Almost 100% of the time that I go into the app to start my intermittent fasting I have to manually set it to the time of my last logged meal. Sometimes this is a few hours later at the end of my day. It would be a nice simple enhancement for the app to default the start time that the last meal I logged. This is by its very…
Fasting..... am I doing it right???
Hi all, I need a bit of guidance from some of you who is more familiar with fasting. I am a 39year old male who was in the best shape of my life 3 years ago. I slowly fell back into my old habits and the weight has slowly creeped back. I did not completely let myself go as I am constantly putting in some effort to manage…
Night Shift
Hey guys! I need some advice as a night shift nurse. I know many of y’all work the graveyard shift and I work from 7pm-7am. And I get hungry at midnight and after usually. How can I keep the calories low so it doesn’t add up too much as I go home and have my regular 3 meals? Do they count for the previous day? Does anyone…
