Intermittent Fasting

I need discipline!
Shoot me a friend request! I need some discipline and motivation to lose this weight!! :) <3
IF hasn’t worked for me so far
Hi there!! I’m back to this app (after a few years away) to try & figure out why Intermittent fasting just isn’t working for me. I’m 50, M, 226lbs & hope to lose 20+lbs, though I’d be happy with 10. I’m fairly active, exercise at least twice a week, sometimes more. My weight has never fluctuated much. I was at 202 or so 15…
Intermittent Fasting - add the VERY COMMON 18/6 Plan as well as a Customization Option
I was very surprised to learn that the Intermittent Fasting facility has no 18/6 plan!!!!! This is HUGELY popular and yet not available as an option. Furthermore, it might be great to add a Customization option so that people can add whatever I.F. timing they so wish.
What not to eat IF 16:8
Is 100ml of milk or half cup cucumber slices okay during fasted stated of IF? What can throw one out of fasting?
Back after a 10 year absence!
It is good to be back after a long absence! Work was sucking the life out of me, enormous stress eating, 80 lbs over suggested BMI Well, that's over! Now I have time to be a caregiver to family members, take care of myself, and actually do things I like! I'm in the middle of a 5 day fast. So far, so good.
Finding friends
Hi I’m new here I need friends to support and motivate me I’ll do same
Intermittent Fasting Options on the App
I've had great results with intermittent fasting and was excited to see it added to the app, but there just aren't enough options. We need an 18/6 and 20/4 option. Even better would just be a custom option. As it is now, I use another app for fasting, but I'd rather not.
Looking for accountability friends !
hi, i’m 20 and from Canada. i’m getting back into intermittent fasting just now, and i’ve started lifting weights about 2 months ago. my goal is to build muscle + lose a bit of fat (recomp basically) and improve my overall fitness. i run from time to time and go on long walks regularly, but my main focus is lifting at the…
Looking for Friends -- Add Me
Back here again for the umpteenth time. I made a decision to change my life this year after getting back from the Holidays and weighing in at 310lbs on Jan 2nd, the heaviest I have ever been. I started the first few weeks of the year just eating a little healthier and at a calorie deficit. But then decided to try…
Is Intermittent Fasting Harder as you get Older?
Hmmm, so I was a strong practitioner of 5:2 fasting in my late 20's/early 30's (female). Loved it, lost 4 stone in 2 years and found it super easy. Then I got into distance running and couldn't make IF work alongside my training routines. Coupled with the pandemic, injuries etc, I've not been running as much, got a bit…
76 yrs old I really need to lose 50lb, finding it very difficult
I am 76 yrs old, I started keto just before Christmas 2020, I lost 35lb in 4 months then I caught covid, after I recovered I found it hard to stick to the diet, and eating the amount of meat and fats were causing health problems, and I yo-yo’d for the rest of the year until the weight gradually started rising again, now I…
Intermittent fasting notifications
I need a notification when my fast is up! Also please place the timer on the dashboard!!!!
Intermittent Fasting Tool, worthless?
I’m wondering why the My Fitness Pal folks haven’t made the intermittent fasting tool an actual timer to prompt you when to stop eating and when you can start eating again. Maybe it does that and I’m not using it correctly? It seems like this would be an easy as pie feature to create.
Hey! hello! Hi! Oh hai!
Top of the morning all. I have reignited my desire for health and fitness and membership with MFP. Good luck to all, and looking forward to discussions and learning from like minded folks. ❤️🖖🌹
Feeling Fluffy
Hey MFP! I'm back to try and lose the weight I gained after struggles with infertility, multiple pregnancies, and pregnancy loss... My kids are starting to get a little bit older and it's hopefully going to let me prioritize taking better care of myself and getting active. I lost a significant amount of weight with MFP in…
Intermittend fasting vs. proteins supply
I started interval/intermittend fasting before my vacation. 12/12 - the easy start, although perhaps I do not make it quite so simple, because I put the 12 hours without food on the day - as a rule, it should be the night. Effectively, that leaves me with two meals. How do I get enough protein? My problem is - that despite…
Introducing My Self
My name is Jodie Perez I am 51 years old and had 2 back surgeries so getting around is a little difficult. I am trying fasting for the first time so if you dont mind Wish Me Luck and any advice that would be great. Jodie Perez Tifton, Ga
Why is 16:8 intermittent fasting on the app only giving me a 4 hour window?
Hi, I've just set up my intermittent fasting on the app this morning and chosen the 16:8 option. When I select my start time it's giving me an end time that's only 4 hours later, rather than 6. Has anyone else experienced this and know how to change it?
Calories confusion
In the daily category of calories that is calories=food+excercise -remaining etc those amount of calories do we need to burn or do we need to eat.
Healthy eating, even at restaurants!
Are you able to maintain your intermittent fasting and low carb and sugar goals at restaurants? This is getting easier for me because I have learned to ask questions (be brave for your health and quality of life): 1. Can I have the burger without the bun? 2. Can I replace the fries with some mixed greens? 3. Can I have…
Hello legends!
Hi I’m Anna. Just trying to be the best version of me at 48…logging foods and intermittent fasting. A few wines every week even tho I’m on the sober app also. Keep up the good work everyone! 🤍
I'm Christie - 29 F and from the UK - looking for friends!
My goal overall is to lose around 10 stone (140lb). I spent my childhood very active and slim till I got pregnant at a very young age and gained a lot of weight - in grand scheme of things, it wasn't that bad, I was about 175lb at 6 weeks post partum....13 years ago now. Jump forward with my 2nd son, I started the…
I Keep Coming Back to My Fitness Pal
Just finished a Noom program which was very good for the psychology of eating. Now I am ready to return to My Fitness Pal due to the accountability and nutrition tracking. Premium is the way to go. If you put your money where your priorities are, it can motivate a person. Went from 279 to 216 from October 1, 2022. Hope to…
Looking for an accountabili-buddy!

I have lost 37 pounds since 2013 years MFP on and off. I have also been plant-based for over 15 years and alcohol-free for 2! I also do OMAD or fast…
Alternate day fasting ADF
Any people out here doing ADF? success? Still going? Accountability?
I’m trying …again
Hello everyone! My name is Lisa , and I’m starting my journey to being fit and a healthy body weight again. Hopefully this will last longer than the last time.
Lengthen the time for fasting
I practice different intermittent fasting schedules. The limit of 24 hours makes this feature useless. Please extend the time out or remove it. Thanks
Need Support
Tracking food has always been a struggle, trying to recommit. Anyone out there that is willing to help by becoming friends on MFP? It’s helpful to see what others are doing to workout, eat and stay inspired.
