New Here
Hi, everyone. My name is Elena and I'm feeling anxious and excited to start this journey. A couple of months ago, I made the decision to get off of adderall, a stimulant medication used to treat ADHD.

Weight Gain Journey - new to app
Hey everyone, my name is Jon. I started my weight gain journey back in 2023 after getting really sick at 180 lbs, 6’3. I’m currently 217 lbs and trying to get to 230 lbs of muscle. My current routine involves 45 min cardio 2-3 times per week and 2-3 sessions of full body at the gym. So far, so good! I’m consuming around…
Hello!
Hi! I’ve been using MyFitnessPal on and off for years, but more so recently when I turned to carnivore lifestyle in December 2023. I love the fact that I can keep track of my macros especially!

What's different this time.
I see several posts along the lines of "I'm starting again" " I been to this group so many times" "I'm back" Questions: What will make this time different for you? What is your plan?
Hi!
I'm Kristen, I'm 29, new mom from New Jersey. I recently lost a little over 30 pounds with 18 stubborn pounds to go until I meet my goal. I'm really hoping to find some accountability partners on here, moms on similar journies would be even better 💜

I'm having a hard time staying motivated so I redownloaded Pokemon go and I forgot how much fun it was!!!! I have walked over 17km each week for the last two weeks, but I realized yet again I need motivation from friends doing a thing with me. Anyone like me and want to join? Here's my code you can use or share yours!…
I wanna give up. I love eating, I don't like walking
Ugh, and the numbers game with my calories and macros is annoying. I'll admit in my previous routine sometimes I ate badly because I am a foodie. However in this new phase of losing weight (again) my eating is very healthy. I have minimal adjustments I have to make with regards to getting rid of unhealthy snacks or candy.…

Great gains, short time
Hi all, I am excited to share with you my journey in fitness world. In February this year, I started noticing that every step is hard, every breath is tight, even walking was a problem! I was 118 kg back then. I decided to go to gym (weights lifting), I did not notice much change, but then, after several weeks of YouTube…
Ari, 39, fired up about losing weight
Hi, I knew about myfitnesspal, but I never quite knew how to use it until I started watching this one channel on YouTube called sansacooks. She explained macros so well, and I got so excited about "food data" that it got me excited about counting my calories and looking more closely at what I eat. No food is "good" or "bad…
No to Ozempic - No to Diabetes - Motivated, ready to fight
Hello! I signed up today and have a rather long story (don’t we all?) “You have diabetes!” my doctor told me last Tuesday and it shocked me. I knew it was coming. Last year in April I was already prediabetic. And what did I do? Nothing! I continued living in denial land. I had it coming. I am heavily overweight (348 lbs…
Hello everyone
I’m starting MyFitnessPal up again after a few years. Anyone else starting up again or for the first time? I’ve lost 70 pounds since March 2023 doing a body recomp. I love how I’m feeling these days. Feel free to reach out and connect.
Habit Stacking: Starting small to build up to big goals.
This has been my new favorite approach. I've never been a fan of trying to do everything all at once and I know I need to make small changes toward a bigger goal. Every week I choose a new small goal to work on that builds on something week before. Eat breakfast-->track my protein-->aim for 100g daily. If I need to work on…
New to Intro, not MFP
Hi, all! I keep dropping myfitnesspal and always add the app back to my phone. I continue to fall off and jump on the workout wagon. This last time at 47 I really can not find the motivation or energy to stay consistent as my husband (the superhero of all standby-ers and watchers) continues to spend years of progress. I am…
MFP, HealthyWager, and Golo!
Hi there! I’m a 48 yard old wife, mom to 3 boys, junior high religion and home ec teacher, DRE at our church, etc. so I need lose 70lbs not only for health reasons, but also to increase my energy and stop hurting everywhere. Getting older is no joke - lol! - so I’ve got to get healthy so I can keep up and actually enjoy…
OWN WORST ENEMY
Hey all 36-year-old female. 5'3 1/2 - 160 lbs. so a little background on myself. I was skinny as a rail (even after two kids) until I hit 28/29. The doctor had me try different BC methods and I think it threw my hormones off. When I was 32 I looked at the scale and I was 160 pounds and I had to do something about it. Ate…
Daily Motivation For All #DVDBEASTMODE
Happy Sunday My Fitness Family Of Beasts. You need to listen to your body and rest when it says so.

Stay committed to the next level and get the results you deserve. This is not a hobby…
Starting off again
Hi everyone I tried MFP a while back and went off and did my own exercise regimen at a gym. Now I am pretty inactive, 59yrs old and a few kgs to lose and get back some muscle. Does anyone know of a good starting exercise routine as I am really unfit and have to start from scratch. Thanks
Anxiety and depression
Anyone else out there struggling with mental health? It gets the best of me and interferes with what I want to accomplish health wise. Trying to overcome it and get healthier and strong. Glad this app has so much support!
