Intermittent Fasting

I've Lost 60 Pounds and FEEL GREAT!
I'm so very happy. At age 75 I've lost 60 pounds (down from 270 to 210). It's taken 18 months, but it wasn't hard. I now have more energy and strength than I've ever had. I went from being almost bedbound to moving about freely. No more motorized scooters in the grocery stores, no more having to get help getting up off the…
End time on intermittent fasting
Please at an end time to the in-progress intermittent fasting tracker. I don't always start my fast at the same time, often don't remember what time I started the day before, and having to do the math is annoying, especially when adding that time should be really easy code.
Restarting my MFP journey
Hi everyone, Long time user, first time poster. Am back on the MFP program as I am needing to lose quite a bit of weight (that I put on thanks to surgery and heart restrictions), but am dealing with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome too. Will certainly welcome any suggestions towards how to manage energy levels, taking that first…
Fasting
I am glad that they brought Fasting into MyFitnessPal. I have been doing intermittent Fasting for a while now and would love to see 18/6 and 20/4 included in the options. I would also love to have the fasting feature on my Home Dashboard.

Why is my weight loss projection going up?
I’ve been clicking on complete on my food diary and for the past two days it’s gone up in weight for my projected weight loss and I’ve eaten almost the exact amount of calories and my macros are even right. I don’t understand?
Why am I not losing 😩?
I weighed 250 on feb 14th and this morning I was 227.4 but I lost 13 lbs in like 2 weeks and then it’s barely coming off. I eat 1350 calories a day and yes some days I don’t get all my calories in. I log everything I eat. I’m intermittent fasting and doing low carb under 100 carbs a day and doing taebo/kickboxing for 20…
Hey Y’All!
My name is Maya. I’m a 39-year-old software developer living in Barcelona, Spain. I have about ~10kg (22lb) I would like to lose, and around 10-12% body fat. My challenges are that I have PCOS (which is commonly associated with insulin resistance) and also I take antidepressants. I’ve tried intermittent fasting and…
Add "Time Eaten" to Food Logging
I would like to suggest adding an option to include 'Time Eaten' when logging food for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner or snacks. Over time, tracking would reveal good or bad habits. Recording time eaten would also be helpful for people who do IF.
INTERMITTENT FASTING MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD
FASTING MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD 11/06/22 What happens when you haven’t eaten for a good long while and are delaying eating until your set time? During this period of time of “fasting” do you get sick and weak? Absolutely not. Instead, you get energized! Your eyes open wider, brain activity is enhanced, and you become more…

Haven’t been on the app since 2019- but I’ve been killing it! Hope everyone is doing well.

Hoping to lose 20 pounds
I put on 20 pounds after the pregnancy. I found that my weight stays the same even though I am trying to eat a little bit less than before and be more active. I miss these days when I didn’t need to worry about my weight.
Hello Everyone👋
I am hoping we share and compare what we are eating/doing for our weight loss journey It will be 1 month this coming Sunday that I have been doing intermittent fasting and have lost 7lbs. I keep a strong eye on low to none sugar & carbohydrates, high on proteins. Share with us what your focus is👏👏
Fasting issue
Hi all, Anyone not liking the fasting way it records? I’m intermittent fasting for the past month and I don’t think it’s been thought out well enough. In regards the recording, I often complete more than 24 hours or short breaks to eat which the app doesn’t like. Would be great to have monthly statistics kicked out also.
Deja vu with a touch of evolution
I originally was using MyFitnessPal back in 2019 and lost around 28 or so pounds after having our third baby in Aug of 2018. After going back and forth about my weight and what I was going to do about it, I finally put my dang foot down and took a stand!!! :) I am targeting the loss of 65 pounds and am being generous with…
Calorie deficit
I do 16:8 IF and eat Lunch and dinner and nothing in between. If I burn 600 calories according to my Apple Watch fitness ring and basal metabolism is 1300 calories, how many calories should I be eating daily to create a deficit and see 1-2 pounds weight loss weekly? Also, I am vegan so how much should my Carb:Fat:protein…
Fasting
Does intermittent fasting work and how many hours should I start with?
I'm intermittent fasting for weight loss, anyone else?
Hi, Anyone here intermittent fasting? I started 5 weeks ago at 12-12 and gradually decreased the window to 16-8, now it tends to be 1 meal a day. I can easily go 24 hours without food now without feeling the slightest bit hungry. I've started to notice how much I'm now struggling to actually eat, yesterday I had Cajun…

Intermittent Fasting and Working out
Hello all, I've recently restarted IF 16/8 and it has helped me get past a plateau with my weight loss/fitness. My fasting begins at 9PM and ends at 1PM to correspond with my work hours-ish. Problem is, I was going to the gym in the morning around 9AM, and I find that I am light-headed doing the workouts I was doing…
