Its Working But Its A lot
Hey anyone on the journey! I’ve been taking my fitness and eating seriously for about three and a half months. At the gym three days a week, getting my steps in, and eating at a deficit at about 1500-1700 calories a day. I am down 17.2 pounds as of today, just a hairs breath at getting below 200lbs for the first time in…
Lose 10 lbs by April 15th, 2024- focusing on a healthy lifestyle and enjoying life!
Hello all, I am 54 and gained 10 lbs in 6 months. I l led a 3 month challenge during the pandemic and lost 12 lbs. I felt great and it was awesome to be in a group that motivated each other. I need so much support now. I've tried to lose weight on my own without success. It would be great to lose 10 lbs by April 15th. I…
Hello all!
I’m new here and to any diet apps. I’m struggling to lose the steroid weight that I gained during chemo. It’s been 1.5 years and the weight keeps going up. I’m not a FB or social media person so this is my outlet.
Out of my good habits
Ever since I had my knee replaced and couldn't jog anymore, my exercise and eating habits have suffered. I can't get motivated.
New…again
Hi! I’ve been using MFP off and on for years. I had gotten really close to my “goal” weight of 175 (within 10lb) and felt so good and healthy. This was 2 years ago and then started gaining weight and overall feeling sluggish and exhausted. Lose motivation and was really struggling. Was diagnosed with Hashimotos and feel…
Looking for new friends
Returning user to MFP. I’ve always found the site to be useful, but I’m trying to break a few bad habits I’ve slipped back into! New friends are always good! Anyone can add me!
New Member Looking for Friends
Hi everyone! I'm new here and would love to connect with others as a way to receive motivation and support. I tend to start on my weight loss journey and never keep up with it. My oldest daughter is engaged, and i don't want to be overweight for her wedding. Plus, I know i'm unhealthy, and I want to be able to live a long…
1600 calories a day
Hello 👋 I started doing 1600 calories a day this past Monday. I want to see people who have done this how long did it take for you to see results? I work out 5 to 6 times a week.
Howdy, y'all!
Hey everyone. Not new to MFP, and think I may have even introduced myself before. Lol. Currently 52 years old, male living in Canada. Current weight is 290 lbs with a body fat percentagethat's about 55% - seriously. Goal weight is 185 lbs and 10% body fat. I'm 5'7" tall, but very big boned (like, noticeably). So I won't…
Am I doing something wrong with weight loss?
Hello. New person here. Just started my journey for about a month now. I started at 255lbs. I am now down to 240lbs. I am 5'10". My calorie intake is 2290 a day, but I usually take in about 1600 calories. I always come right below or hit my macros on the head. I do intermittent fasting, 16:8 every day. The last two weeks…
I just want to break my unhealthy relationship with food.
Anyone else struggling to let go of their unhealthy relationship with food? After my divorce I “unhealthily” lost about 25 pounds and while I felt “good” because I was skinnier, but mentally not due to the stress of divorce. Rewind to 3-4 years now I now am healed from that and a lot happier l, but gained some bad eating…
Daily checking in.
I recently saw a post on daily accountability and this resonated with me. I think this is what I need but where and how!? Could MFP be the answer? I have unsuccessfully tried Noom, WW and for the last 4 months a personal coach to lose the weight. Instead I have steadily increased my weight by 2 kg!! I am a mother/…
Back again
Hello! I am new but not LOL a pretty common story. Anyways, I am looking for friends to help keep the motivation going. I never used to use the community chat and didn't really involve people so this is new to me. I think it's probably better to have people around rather than doing this alone. Feel free to add me!
Here to build knowledge of nutrients and muscle
Hi everyone, after being on noom for over a year and losing most of the weight I was aiming to, I am starting here so that I can better track my macros and gain muscle. I would love to join a group, if there is one, of other late 30s-beyond who are working out and eating with the same goals in mind. 💪

A picture is worth a thousand words. From 288 to 178! How did I do this? By myself? My own knowledge? NO WAY!! I had gone from 288 to 256 that way, but was already not progressing in 2010!
