Seeking Daily Accountability Partner
I’m a cheerful 42-year-old female with ~10 pounds to lose seeking a daily accountability partner. The right person would be willing to mutually share near and long-term goals, commit to being honest and open about progress and challenges, and engage by text every day about each other’s progress. I realize there are paid…
Doing it in my 40s
Hi everyone! I was in the worst shape of my life about 5 years ago. Eating too much of the wrong foods, drinking too much, not being active, etc. In 2020, I joined weight watchers and lost 35 lbs. Yay! Solely based on diet. Then my dad passed unexpectedly from complications from covid. I coped with food and wine and found…
Back with a vengeance!
Hello friends! I've been here once, got out of routine and am back with a vengeance! Let's motivate each other to stay healthy :)
Struggling to see the point
I have always struggled to get past the mindset of having to work out. Maybe because I had always been naturally thin in my youth and a natural clutz-LOL, so there really was no motivation for me to work out or be fit. I tried going to the gym in my youth, and I just recently joined the gym yet again in my 58th year, but I…
Why is it harder to lose 10-20 lbs than 50+ lbs?
Does it ever feel like you are alone in the middle with needing to lose 10-20 lbs but most weight loss advice/tips are geared towards people looking to lose way more than that? I am definitely eating at a calorie deficit and have been for over a month (1500 cals, working out 3x a week + walking when possible) and have not…
I Keep Coming Back to My Fitness Pal

Heeyyyy & Hello
I’m turning a new page in my life.. starting with using an app to support my weight goal which is to drop 30 pounds why?… to increase my activity level again. Hoping to meet great inspirational, motivated & goal oriented members. Can’t wait to get started
Diary sharing
I’d like the ability to share my diary with my dieting group instead of having to take multiple screen shots. I also think the ability to create groups inside the app would be an easier alternative. Much like a social media platform where individuals can chat and view diaries in one central location.
Newbie here!
What up I’m Kat. I wanted to use this platform to bring better habits in my life. Holding myself accountable and wanting to give my body what it needs.
