Motivation

Hi from Australia
Hey there! 👋 I'm 36, Australian and I'm turning over a new leaf and I'm so motivated. I've been doing HIIT workouts every day for a week with no results yet so I've joined MFP to help with the food side of things, in the hope that it will result in the scales going down!! Any fellow Aussie women here?
New to Myfitnesspal
Hello , I'm new to this site. Just a dad and husband trying to loose some weight so I can keep up with the little one ! Looking to lose around 30-40 lbs by diet and workouts.
Hi all
Hi guys, I’m Lee from the UK, just starting out on the long road to achieving my goals and looking forward to seeing the results.
Back again :(
Hiya everyone, so this is like my third time starting over (you’d think I’d learn by now) and I’m looking for someone who can help hold me accountable/support me in my journey. Someone who wants to check in daily. I’m 4’10 and looking to lose about ten pounds. I am down to motivate and provide support for anyone who needs…
Best way to measure weight loss?
I don’t have a scale, I got rid of it when we moved but I’m hesitant to buy another one as sometimes, I would get very discouraged by the number I saw. Is it better to use body measurements, a scale, both? What have you all found works the best for a true idea of progress, as well as what works the best to help not get…
Looking for accountability to lose over 100 lbs
Hi everyone. Today is my first day and I need to lose 106 lbs. I have problems with emotional binge rating and low will power. I have a desk job and sit all day. I'm looking for accountability and motivation to stay on track.
Anyone interested in a Beat Saber cardio group?
I play too much Beat Saber, and none of my friends IRL have a virtual reality headset or play rhythm games. If you have a VR setup and you're looking for fun cardio, Beat Saber is the way to go! Songs include dashing side-to-side, squats, and flailing your arms about wildly. In 30 minutes at my current fitness level, my…
COVID Blues
When the gyms closed in March of 2020, I lost my outlet for most of my physical activity. In the ensuing months of isolation, I started working from home full-time (a situation that has since been made permanent), where mindless eating is so much easier, and some days I never even left the house. I ate poorly and didn't…

Hello!
I’ve been a subscriber to the app for a year or so now, but only just discovered the community area!!

I’m Back
I’ve used Fitness Pal in the past to track calories. This is when I’ve been most successful with weight loss. It promotes Mindful eating. But I’m new to the community side of things. I’m not much of a joiner. I’m trying for a bit more accountability this time. Checking in regularly. Making this part of my daily journey.

InMotion Compact Strider Exercise?
Hi! I use the InMotion Compact Strider as my main at-home workout equipment and was curious what to log it as in the app? I've used the stairs/walking option but I want to make sure I log it correctly since there's not a strider option. Someone mentioned Elliptical Trainer as an option but this machine doesn't have the…
What keeps you up at night?
Since I’m up late, I figured I’d see how many others have trouble resting and why? For me it’s the inability to turn my mind off. I’ve made major changes in all areas of my life, nutrition, physical fitness and mental health care. Yet I still find my mind always going.. Constantly thinking about things I can’t change or…
