Hello, I need a workout buddy 🥹
Hello! I’m Cynthia! I’m new. I really need to lose 75 lbs. I could really use help getting started. I would love to have a Monday through Friday virtual workout partner.
Back to the beat!
Good morning all! My name is Liz, it's been a LONG time since I've been on. I used to used MFP to manage weight for sport-specific goals, where they require weight management down to a tenth of a pound - but am here for a different reason now. I'm 29 and trying to "get back on the horse" after a death in the family, a…
Tips for maintaining a positive mindset?
How do you change your mindset when you’re having a really bad day? I feel like I’m so far behind in work, chores around the house, creative pursuits… everything. And despite eating like crap the past week, the scale still says I’ve lost weight when I’m trying desperately to gain. I want to try and reset my mind but I…
Returning with renewed passion - Covid years and derailing
So it's been a long time since I last felt like I had control and I know I'm not alone in this, so let's get talking about it instead of bottling it up. Between 2016 and 2018, I managed to lose over 8st (100+lbs). I felt great, I was happier with my weight and the way my body performed. In 2019, I struggled with my job…
This time, I'm sticking with it
Hi everyone! I'm Chris. Just trying to cut this weight for good. I've had success in the past, but the hardest part is keeping it off. I turn 30 soon, and I'd like to finish this period of my life on a strong note, and hoping it carries over into a healthy new chapter.
Finally making the step! ☺️
Hey guys!! Been yo-yoing on the weight issues for a long time but finally decided enough was enough. Time to eat healthy and cleaner especially being a vegan! I’ve been a unhealthy vegan for too long and started to make the steps to be better! 🌱 Just thought I’d say hello and sending the positive vibes and motivation your…
Hello everyone!
I’m Diana, a location independant digital nomad. Happy to be part of the community and eager to hear everyone’s stories. I’ve gained 32kg during the pandemic and it all went down hill from there. I’ve made a decision to change my habits and lifestyle by starting working out and reducing the amount of food I eat as well as…
1,200 calories in 500 calories out?
Hey, I’m 5’1 149 pounds. My goal is 120, is a 1200 calorie intake and burning 500 a day healthy for me?
Baby steps
Today was the first walk. From a life of bodybuilding, CrossFit, always active personal training and nutrition to eating very poorly doing nothing at all exercise wise my body is damaged. My goal is 155 that's healthy for me. Starting again at 53 is so hard, I'm at 218 and I know how I got here. The proper eating well be…

My digestion is healthier which was my other goal. I got things flowing!!! High fiving myself for creating healthier habits!! Now to…
Pregnant, want to get/stay healthy
Any other currently/recently pregnant people? Last year, I lost about 70 lbs over a year. Felt better, looked better, sleeping better, etc. Doing really well. Then I got pregnant :) In the meantime, I'd really like to stay active and keep eating healthier even though I know I will be gaining some weight back. I'm having…

Hi everyone my name is Teia. I’m 43 and a licensed therapist, queer, a mom, and Love the outdoors and I live in NC. Im looking to have friends here that can help with accountability and support.
Constant Lethargy
I suppose the answer to this is to just get up and go anyways, but I seem to have lost all my energy and enthusiasm for working out since the pandemic. I used to be able to just get up and go to the gym and knock out at least a decent workout no matter how I was feeling, easily decline/avoid unhealthy foods. I was active…

Men, do you feel stuck in other areas of your life, business, relationships... discuss?
Do you feel like getting your health on track contributes towards getting other areas of your life on track, such as business, overall happiness and relationships?

I hope this app motivates me to lose weight and I can be happy and soak up some self love ❤️
Hello!
Hi! Just started with this app. Had Noom before but that got too expensive for me, so I'll just be counting calories and logging exercise here with the knowledge Noom imparted in me. I am a university student, in my 20s...depression, the pandemic, and stress eating got the best of me, and now I'm trying to get healthier.…
Hello! One full year logging anniversary next week!
Good day, my name is Mike, this is my first post but I have been using this app for a while and now can proudly say almost a year consecutively! When I decided to pay for the pro I promised myself I would use it every day so yay!! Have lost over 60lbs in the last year, all my quarantine gains and more!! I love to stay…
Note to self - you need to do more work!
I lost 65 pounds in about a year. I was at my goal of a healthy BMI. Then I thought I could ease up a little to see if I could maintain my weight. I couldn't. Slowly but surely my weight crept up and up. Each time I saw a gain or felt the clothes get tighter I thought, it's okay, I will just start again on (fill in…
New (again) and looking for friends for motivation
Hello, all. I'm a returning user to MFP and seeking new friends for motivation. I've always found a degree of success, but have always found myself backsliding just a little as well. Always open to a fitness challenge or just recipe swaps. Feel free to friend me. I'm also a Fitbit user...feel free to add me there as well.…
Hey everyone
Very happy to be here today, hoping for the best from this.
Pandemic Weight gain 🙁
Hi! I'm Viva, I'm new here. Over the last two years I have gained 12kgs. Been trying unsuccessfully to lose the weight over the last few months but struggling to stay consistent. I could use some support, motivation and maybe some friends on the same journey. I'm 34. Before the pandemic I enjoyed a more active lifestyle…
Need new friends! Add me :)
Hi everyone! My name is Michelle. I'm sort of respawning and trying to lose weight for the first time in years. I had some success with MFP a few years ago and got down to 180 ish, felt in really good shape. Then I had a few crazy years where I broke up with my ex, was in a car accident, got laid off, and my best friend…
