New but not new
Hey y'all, I'm not new to the app, I've been here a few times but I'm hoping this time will be the one that counts. A little back story...I joined in 2017, lost a little, gained a little, got frustrated and quit. Joined again in 2018, lost some, my dad passed away, I couldn't focus so I quit again. I think I joined again…
Positive Habits
I am back here on MFP after a very long absence. Despite much activity here in 2022, this is my first post. I'm working through an experiment which may be helpful to me. Recently I came across a journalling app that incorporates AI. Yes, I know…. it may sound corny, but please bear with me. Today, after adding my few…

A great start to my journey
All my life I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food, it didn’t matter if I was happy, sad or even angry I would always turn to food for comfort! Just a little over 5 months ago I decided to make a change on how I saw food, re-educationed myself as I couldn’t continue with making the wrong choices and watching the…

Just want to say ‘Hi’ to everyone on day one of my weight loss journey 🤞🏻
Trying to love my body and stay consistent 💪
Hi everyone! My name is Nuria 😊 I've always struggled with body image and confidence. For many years, I’ve felt insecure about my body and didn’t know how to take care of myself in a healthy way. Recently, I’ve lost a little bit of weight and it has motivated me to keep going — but this time, I want to do it with love and…
100 Lbs down
I’m here to share that you can do this. Is it a quick fix? No. Is it easy? No. Does it require dedication to you? Yes. Does it mean some mental gymnastics? Yes. But, you got this. I promise you, sometimes we focus too much on our appearance, the scale, the snack we snuck, etc… just take you a moment, take a breath, and…

I'm new here - nice to meet you!!
Hi all - I'm Jessica, and I live north of Baltimore, MD. I'm in my early 50s, and would love to make some friends in my age group (or really any age group!!!). I have lost about 60 pounds in the last year by using Mounjaro (Zepbound), using the Noom app, riding my Peloton bike, running, and some strength training (though…
Weight gain status
Since there aren't many of us with this particular goal, I thought I'd create a thread where we gainers could share our status, issues, concerns, or questions. I think we could all learn much from each other and get some support as needed. I'll start. I'm recovering from an illness and dealing with golfers elbow, so it's…
Greetings
I’m Tasha new to this fitness pal app. I took my first zepbound shot this past Monday and am looking forward to connecting with this community to be supportive and also receive support. 😊

Last chance
I'm fast approaching 70 and this will be my last chance to get some kind of fitness. Way back I was introduced to MFP following an "episode" where I briefly exited this world. Managing to lose 10% of my body mass in a single month, my weight levelled off to where my body thought it should be and stayed there for some time.…
Building a habit
would love to hear how long it took you to start using this app regularly, what the start up curve was, and how you stayed accountable 🙏
Hello ☺️
I’m just getting started on a new chapter in my health journey. My goal is to lose weight and build healthier habits as I approach my 50th birthday — I want to feel my best by then! Right now, I live a mostly sedentary lifestyle, so one of my biggest goals is simply to get more active — even small, consistent steps count.…

I'm new AGAIN! I've used Myfitnesspal with success off and on. I fell off the wagon and keep trying to get back on. I just turned 50. I want to be healthy and have energy for my grandkids. I need to lose about 15 lbs and tone up. I find it helpful to have accountability partners and encouragement.

Sudden Weight Gain After Finally Finding the Right Meds to Manage Mental Health… Now what?
i was skinny my whole life and was quite underweight earlier this year. I was working on weight restoration and really was struggling but made a bit of progress.

Any other CKD patients out there looking to swap recipes?
New to having discussions here . I am JR and struggling with Stage 3 CKD. Have to revamp my diet but having a difficult time finding recipes that are actually good . Allowable and off-limits foods are so confusing! Find myself not eating enough and feeling weakened. Does anyone have good advice for me ?
Caffeine Intake
My fitness pal needs to track caffeine intake, It would be an amazing feature. Many people have concerns about caffeine intake or just like to track it on a daily basis. This would greatly improve my experience with this app.
