Ready for a transformation
I've had diets when I was younger, but it was a time when I didn't know anything about life. I'm working toward a healthier lifestyle now and learning more about the nutritional value of foods and what works best for my body. I enjoy eating "brain boosting" foods so that I can focus on my career advancement studies and to…

So I have been in a calorie deficit of 500-600 calories a day now for over a month as well as burning 200-300 calories walking everyday but instead of Of losing weight I’m gaining it!

Posting Posed Pictures on Social Media
A lot of fitness influencers will post pictures and videos showing off their amazing progress. I have nothing against this but then they will fail to show what their bodies look like in a natural light which can give some people the wrong idea of what working out can achieve. This is also not addressing how genetics play…

Interesting way of looking at things!
Hi I'm new to MFP Groups but have been using MFP for the past 4 years. In that time I've replaced 35 lbs. with a new mindset about motivation, motion and meals. I want to live to 125 and have the continuing income to pay for it. I call it Mission 125! Does anyone else feel the same way?

I'm starting a small group for support, accountability, and talking about emotional eating
Hello everyone - I got the idea to start a Discord server where a small group of people could team up to support each other. The reason I chose Discord is because I envision being able to hold small group chats. This way people can get to know/trust each other and be more open about their struggles and successes with their…

New!
Hello, everyone! I've been using MFP since October to track with, and am now getting deeper into it. I especially need to get a handle on my carb intake, which is too much, as I've been told I'm pre-diabetic, and also my cholesterol is creeping up. I'd like to think I don't need to lose weight, but losing a few would…

Starting over need someone to buddy with to keep me on track
Hi everyone, I'm Shirley. I've been a yoyo dieter pretty much all of my adult life, since about 2018/19 throw in some serious binging. It's always sweet food, never savoury. I'm 57 and really need to loose a couple of stone, for my knees. I'm done with point counting, eating by colours and the very low carb thing and just…

I've had a personal trainer since October and strength/endurance wise I'm the strongest I've ever been. I want to lose about 30 lbs. I lost 80 before.

Weight Loss
My weight loss journey began when I weighed 221 pounds. I’m a 5’11 man and I was eating Fast food and take out daily. Not only was this making a dent in my bank account but my personal health deteriorated as well. I wanted to make a change in my lifestyle and wanted to go slow. I did not increase my workout intensity but I…

Who does not use a fitness tracker but has still lost weight? How did you do it? My Fitbit broke and I am debating getting a new one. I’d like to hear success stories from people who’ve not had one.

I need a support group, or something
I want to workout consistently and for a while I was. I would do some form of workout for at least 10 minutes each day, whether it’s a full workout or active recovery. But recently, I’ll make it two days of the bare minimum and then be really inactive on the third (and sometimes fourth) day. And then the cycle repeats. I…
