A second start
Greetings everyone. I was in the best shape of my life from 39-42 and a combination of Covid, mental health triggers, medication adjustments, addiction and depression put me back to, not square one, but down a few pegs on my fitness journey. I’m 46 now, running again, and using this app to remind me that I still have…

75 Hard
Has anyone embarked on The 75 Hard journey? I'm interested in starting it. Any success stories? I read this is the criteria 1.Choose a diet (if you're not following one already) and stick with it—that means no cheat days. Also, you have to cut out all alcohol. 2.Do two 45-minute workouts every day. One must be outside.…

Open discussion on the minds ability to influence the physical body......
I want to know how other people feel or think about this. Lately I have been listening to a lot of podcasts/videos about the "powers" of the mind. In that you can "manifest/will" (for lack of a better term) things into existence. An example of this would be, someone tells you, you can't do something, and you believe what…

Change is a marathon, not a sprint
Happy Friday, MFP fam! My name is Fred. Change is a marathon, not a sprint. With dedication and the support of this amazing community, there's nothing we can't achieve. Each step I take, and every mile I log, brings me nearer to that December half marathon goal. But it's always that first step, taken with determination,…

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…

Hello!
Hi folks, I’m fairly new to this community and wanted to introduce myself. I would greatly appreciate any advice, as I don’t seem to be making any progress on my own. I have a desk job and drive three hours a day for work. I do try to walk as much as possible in our small office, but I know I need to move more. I also have…

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.…

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…

Mindfulness of my health

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…
