New to Nutrition Tracking
Hi all. I've been working on my physical health for a couple of years now, but wasn't paying too much attention to the nutritional facts of my intake. I try to eat better, but don't really know anything about macros, protein, etc. Just a couple of days logging my meals here have helped me to start understanding what I am…
Stress keeps the weight off
Trying to gain weight. I'm 5'1" 100 lbs and I rarely go above 103 lbs. Stressful situations have caused lack of hunger, then causes lack of energy to work out. Anytime I gain, I'm so glad. But if stress pops up in my life, it's back down almost immediately. What do you do to induce hunger or motivation during stress?

How do you force yourself to work out when you’re full of excuses?
Hi friends — I’m not new to fitness… but I’ve completely fallen off. I used to lead 6 mile sunrise walks on beach in sand 7 days a week for 2 years. I had accident and screwed up my hips and I can't do my walk anymore. Lately I’ve been slacking hard and making every excuse in the book — too tired, too busy, too…

I just lost 14lbs and Im only 6lbs away from being at my lowest weight😄
I am BEYOND excited, I’ve been watching my diet the past few month(s) and I just weighed myself today. To my shock, I lost 14lbs, I was in such disbelief that I grabbed another scale thinking the scale was off, NOPE definitely lost 14lbs. I’m literally 6lbs away from being at my lowest weight in YEARS, last time I weighed…
What can I do different
I have been on my health and weight loss journey for over 8 months. I’ve lost a little over 45 pounds so far and none of my clothes fit properly which is great. Over the past 4 weeks I’ve only lost 1.2 pounds, and last week I gained over a pound. I’m under my calorie intake, carb intake, fat intake, and over my protein…
Confidence in my body during my weight loss journey!

From almost 300 to under 200 lbs, still needing support - WHY?
I started my weight loss back in 2010. I am so glad I did!! Fast forward to 2025. I had weighed almost 300 lbs, and now under 200 lbs. I didn't do this on my own; like many of us, I needed support. I found the 5% Challenge on a different site, but it closed in 202,1 and we relocated here on MFP!! WHY, after 15 years, am I…

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…

Slow Metabolism After 30 ? What Science Really Says?
People often say your metabolism drops once you hit 30, but research shows it actually stays pretty stable until around age 60. What usually changes is lifestyle and less movement, muscle loss, stress, or sleep issues , not a sudden crash in calorie burn. The good news is strength training, staying active, and eating…
