Getting discouraged, how do you cope?
Even though I've lost 72lbs I'm still over weight. Just looking in the mirror I can't tell a difference now vs. at my heaviest. I'm just feeling frustrated that I've come so far and still have so much more to go. I get to thinking that I'll never be able to look how I picture myself in my head, because I've been overweight…

Moved here from Noom
Hello I just recently left Noom. Was part of it since 2019. But jumped ship. Landed here and I have to say that this App has a lot more to offer. I’m not here to complain about Noom. It just was not working for me anymore. So looking at this App I see so much more that I can glean off beside valor count fat/sugar/protein…

Still at it!
I took a break from MFP, but continued a healthy lifestyle, like all of us hit a bump in the road and need something to zero my focus on nutrition and fitness. A more intentional self-care approach.

Hello
I’ve had this app for a while but never used it seriously. I’m at 148 lbs and my target is 135. I’ve joined Orange Theory and while it’s helping, I need to eat right to really make a difference. Looking for friends who can inspire each other through this journey. Good luck to you all!

Formerly lost 60 pounds on Naturally Slim (Wondr Health)
Hi, I’m Kenneth from Texas. My goal is to lose 27 pounds with the help of MyFitnessPal. My goal weight is 181. I visited a dietitian and he calculated that to lose 1.5 pounds a week I should limit my calories daily to 1,800. This app is so helpful in tracking what I consume. It’s all about regaining discipline in my diet.…

Taking control of my health
I’m Traci. I’m recently diagnosed with VERY HIGH cholesterol and Pre-Diabetes. Both parents suffered strokes, had cancer, and were basically couch potatoes. My mom now has dementia. I don’t want to be them. It’s a bit late in the game to start learning how to properly care for myself (57y) but I want to be around for my…

Small and huge things, an accountability thread
Hi hello. I’m not sure how to start. This is not my first attempt at losing weight, or my first time on MFP. The earliest and highest weight I have recorded here was 193.1lbs in January 2016; the lowest weight I have recorded was 155.5lbs in October 2020. It kind of breaks my heart to write that because this morning I…

Finding faith!
It is so hard, some days to believe that I can go beyond what I have been able to do before. But the idea of doing just that, brings tears to my eyes, knowing if i can do this for myself, I can do more hard things in life with confidence. Today was a low day. Then I just kept at myself, that I could do it, and found faith.…

Running Tips?
Hi, I’m Kiwi. I’m a 24 year old female who works at a desk job for 8 hours a day. Since I’ve worked at this job, I’ve gained 32lbs making me 282lbs now. I’ve decided I want to start running for cardio, just to slim down. Is there a method to the madness? How do you run and not get tired? Is a “runner’s high” a real thing?…

Breaking the binge / delete / create new account cycle
Sometimes I feel like an addict! As soon as I stray from my perception of a healthy day (even just a little), I go full throttle vacuum mouth mode. I've read a bit about binge-eating, and I understand that it isn't about the food as much as it's about the binge... but I can't seem to break the cycle. It's almost like, as…

Not new, but new goals
Returning to MFP after several years away with all new goals and lifestyle. I used to use MFP religiously years ago when I had an ED. Now I’m 7 years recovered, and this time I’m here to refocus on my health, eat enough (as I developed a bad habit of undereating due to ADHD meds), stay active, and especially, gain muscle…

Prescribed Steroids
I can not wait until my medical team gives me the okay to start tapering these damn steroids. My PCP tells me that my managed pre-diabetes has turned into Type 2 Diabetes because of the steroids my Neurologist prescribed me. I have ballooned from a heavy 220 to a more serious 250. It is time to take control of my diet and…

Not Enough Nutrition?
Some days I do find myself not eating as much as I probably should, and by using the myfitnesspal to track my calories they finally let me know that yesterday. Yesterday I was off work. We had a lot of errands to run and got busy. I ate like one meal the entire day and that was it. Granted that one meal consisted of just…

Hard to Swallow
Like a lot of things that are sometimes really hard to swallow in life, I find brutal honesty with myself to be the hardest. I know that I have all the knowledge I need and the means in which to do something, but I kept fighting with myself about whether or not I could even do it. One hard day at work, I’d turn around and…

Highest Weight
I’m currently at the highest weight I’ve ever been in my entire life. It feels crappy. I told myself over the years I would never let myself get to 300. And here I am over 300 at 329lbs. I used to joke with my ex about if I ever get to 300 he should just shoot me. Looking back, that’s the worst coping humor I’ve ever used.…

I know everyone talks about how much weight they have lost but before you get there what was the little things you noticed in your weightloss? Like for me Just seeing how much my watch on my wrist now is slack and isn't tight to me. Just slowly going down the holes. Also how my rings fit better on my fingers. Just all the…
