Hi
Hi I'm Laken I am 37. My weight fluctuates but I gained weight during the pandemic, and then when my grandmother, who raised me, passed away. I was her caregiver for 7 years. So I put on weight from the stress and then more from grief. If anyone has lost 30 pounds or more OR gained weight because of a death...... what has…

Need to develop health habits? Want to not "diet", but work on a healthy lifestyle? JOIN us
I have belonged to the 5% Challenges for quite a while. In doing so I've lost 108 lbs. Struggling now with heart issues and chronic kidney disease, I need to maintain what I've lost. Often the hardest part of weight loss, isn't the actual weight loss, but to not gain it back! Many of us on Myfitnesspal are familiar with…
Time for self-care!
Hello MFP friend, I like to take care of others, but easily forget about my own needs. Time to change some of these habits! I used MFP before and remember it as a nice community and looking for people to connect with, as I deleted my account in the past and created a new one today. If you like to encouraging each other, to…

What do you enjoy the most about your weight loss and fitness journey? I'm back and grateful
Hi Everyone, I'm back after a long time away and I'm grateful. My fitness pal helps me being impeccably honest in tracking and it always works. My honesty starts to ebb and flow when I don't track. I can rationalize this treat won't matter, again and again. At 68, I'm being forced to be honest and move daily. Fortunately,…
Thanks for all your warm welcome, helpful info and positive spirit

I need motivation getting back on a workout schedule
In the past few years I've been no stranger to tracking calories and macros, with some success. During the pandemic I reached 200lb and post pandemic I lost about 30lb. Since then I've been able to reasonably maintain myself between 167 and 173. This year however my average have been higher at 175 to 180 and I know it is…
Hello Everyone
I am new using the app for a week and I love it. Looking forward to improving my health and to eat healthy.
New Routine- hopefully!
Today was the 1st day of second semester at school. I decided to set my alarm a but earlier and hit the treadmill for one Golden Girls (yes, that is my unit and I'm sticking to it!). I managed that and my usual morning stuff and was still to school on time. My goal is to make it a daily routine but I will be happy with 3…

Starting over…again
Just weighed in. First time in several months. I have gained back the 15 pounds that I lost over the past couple years. I had thought that I would never be at 200# again. I am going back to MFP vs Noom and Found ( both with wt loss meds). I don’t want to do meds anymore. I know what I need to do, I just need accountability…

Hello and Happy New Year!
I'm 44m from GA and I need to lose about 45lbs....why didn't I do this 20 years ago? That's a very good question. I think a group of friends on here to help stay accountable and for motivation would be a good idea. If anyone is interested just let me know, we can weigh in once a week or at least track our results on here.…
*FRESH START!* Weigh-in Wednesdays through New Year's Day, 2025!
Hello and Welcome! Although I post on other boards, I have decided to start fresh with a new challenge beginning this Wednesday, August 21, 2024, which is 19 weeks before New Years Day, 2025. My goal is to lose about 22 lbs. within that timeframe, which for me would mean an average loss of just over one pound per week.…
Just 60, but trying to keep going with my journey
Hi! After having had the app for a couple of years, I am just giving it a serious go. I am a father of three, and one of my kids has a learning disability. Having to balance a busy family life (luckily, my wife supports everyone immensely) with a busy job has led to many failed starts when I get fit, and then life takes…
New Here!
Hello all! I am new here and looking to add friends from everywhere and stay motivated! I’m 50 years old, have a very active stressful job and a second job that’s less stressful but on my feet the entire shift. My goal is to lose 50 pounds.
UK based - New but been here before
Hi, I've recently come back to mfp as I need to focus and really improve my diet and lose some weight. I have lots of health issues and I'm pretty sure the excess weight doesn't help. I have Chiari malformation, COPD and lots of things going on with my spine! I'm an ex fitness instructor and PT, I run a circus school and…
Intro-ducky
Hey everyone! I'm Britanny, your friendly neighborhood wallflower. I'm a shy, insecure woman who's sick of living the same boring routine—like a hamster on a wheel, except my wheel is made of pizza and Netflix. 🍕🎬 I’ve decided it’s time for a change! I’m starting my weight loss journey because, let’s be real, I’m tired of…

Indoor, outdoor, don't care. As long as it has pedals (whether for feet or for hands) and wheels (virtual or real), it counts! Peleton?…

Where Has the Notes Tab Gone?
Hi There! Does anyone know if MFP got rid of the Notes feature? There used to be a Notes tab at the bottom of the daily diary that allowed you to create “Exercise” or “Nutrition” specific notes. I found this feature incredibly useful and used it regularly. It helped me stay accountable to myself and write out certain goals…
