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…
Hi 👋
Hello everyone I’m kel I’m 42 and I’m here to loose around 3st looking to make or join a group on the same kind of journey for motivation ❤️
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…
Hi everyone! Looking for fitness pals

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…
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.
Mindfulness of my health
Since I have fibromyalgia, I was mindful to stretch after walking. I listened to how my body felt to determine when to stop walking.
New to MFP
I'm new to MFP and use some pointers on how to make this app more valuable for me. I have struggle with my weight my whole life and more since I turned 60. I very much appreciate some friends to keep me on track.
Introducing myself
Hello , I just joined the group. I am here to lose 14kg and go back to mindfulness eating I used to 10 years ago, I am so scared to fail after I tried so many fad diets!
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.…
Preggy and Type lada
I'm pregnant and type LADA diabetic. Insulin pump, dexcom cgm. I have a strict dietician ❤️. I am a major crocheter, love gamers, cats and ramen of course. Looking to help other diabetics and those with chronic diseases.
Always the little things to notice.
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…
Another weight loss program…ugh!
The last few years have been unkind. There was that injury at work, then a twisted knee, and suddenly I’m 80 pounds overweight. My injuries are healed now I just have to find the motivation to keep a going. I’m 65, and trying an 1800 calorie diet. I’ve lost 9 pounds in the last 4 weeks. This is great news, but I need…

Looking for balance
Hi everyone. I turned 50 this year and I’m tired. I’m tired of being so overweight that I can’t enjoy life the way I used to. I’m tired of not being able to do activities that I used to enjoy so much because I am morbidly obese but, I’m also tired of yo-yo and fad diets or diets that say, “eat a lot of this and none of…
Motivation needed
New to this app and looking forward to finally reaching my goals!
Is my calorie deficit ok? 7lbs week 1
Hey guys, so just finished my first 10 days using MFP and I've lost 7lbs :) This is the first time I've ever tried weight loss and although I cant see any changes yet, the scales obviously do. I'm not feeling hungry throughout the day and I'm only eating between 12pm-8pm Should I expect this loss to slow down? I've…
Design Ideas Requested! What do you think of a waterproof-photo arrangement on a fountain?
I'm currently working on what I call a photo-fountain to celebrate how far I've come in my fitness. Basically imagine waterproof posters propped up on a fountain like this one. I honestly can't tell based on my research whether or not a fountain has been dressed up with personal photos + other waterproof items (I think it…
When a Slip becomes a Slide
I need help. I need accountability. I have all the right intentions and then I slip. What’s worse is when the slip becomes a slide. I have the worst addiction to fast food. Hard day? Fast food for dinner. Tired? Fast food for dinner. Happy? Treat myself, fast food for dinner! I want to be a health nut so badly. I want a…
Photography Fountain with Metal Posters
I'm currently working on purchasing metal prints that will be set up in my fountain for my home events. They're basically like metal posters and I love how they're wipeable. I have one in my kitchen that's been so much fun to look at. Would you do something similar? Any ideas for how they should be arranged and the…

Hi 👋
Hi I’m Helen, I’m hoping to lose 140 lbs, but I have MS and my ability to exercise is limited, so I guess my calorie deficit will be 1,200 per day. I have recently taken up Qi Gong and do a little yoga. I put on weight over the past year or two and can feel it becoming a problem if I don’t keep it in check now. Cravings…
