Looking for people to connect with and inspire eachother ♡
Hi y'all! I'm a 25 yr old from Florida looking for a community in the weight loss and health world. I grew up heavy, lost a bunch of weight, gained it back, lost it again, then gained back MORE with binge eating. I want to do things differently this time. This includes involving a doctor about my BED, spending time lifting…

Gain muscle, reduce body fat, any tips welcome
Hi my names Ian I’m 5’ 10” 172 lbs. I’m trying to gain muscle and reduce body fat, not worried about gaining or losing weight. I do Orangetheory 4 times a week, and looking to add weight training in addition soon. Any tips on goal settings for the MyFitnessPal app would be appreciated
Any supplements, etc. reccomended to help with intense muscle soreness (DOMS)?
I have been working out for about 4 years now and I mostly do strength exercises with some cardio thrown in and lots of stretching/mobility stuff but I have always been a person to easily get sore from working out and have the worst delayed onset muscle soreness ever! It's been a thing my whole life and I feel like it…
Darabee
I wanna know if anyone has any experience using some of Neila rey or Darabee as their exercise platforms.

Muscle Building - Anorexia Recovery
this is going to be long but I am currently recovering from anorexia. I am 20F, 177cm and 43kg. I'm eating about 1500-2000 calories a day, 90-100g of protein at minimum. I have been struggling to gain my strength back, so I have been exercising, but I'm not sure what is best to help me regain my strength and get myself…
This time around... I cannot lose weight no matter how hard I try
50f, 5'11", 242 lbs. I've been using MFP off and on for a few years now but fell off the wagon after my mother died in 2018. Over the next four years, I devoted my life to caring for my father, and then my grandmother. Now that they have passed, I'm focusing on myself and my health. A couple of months ago, I started going…
Gaining Muscle & *LOSING* Fat?
I know there are enough seasoned body builders on here to help me out. The title is straightforward enough. I've had a trainer since October. Past 2 weeks I've cut out refined sugars and flour. I want to lose 40+ more lbs. I'm 179.2 today and I'm going to judge my goals based on composition so I don't necessarily have a…
Is 2300 Calories (40, 30, 30 Macro split) Good or Too Much?
Hi. I (19 year old female. 123 Pounds. 5’7.) Am a recovering anorexic. It’s important to note here I never was underweight. I’m pretty far in my recovery and have been working with a personal trainer to do I guess a body recomposition. Though he says based on my body scan I have a low body fat percentage so don’t need to…
Protein makes me sick
I’m never hitting my protein goal but I have to force feed myself high protein foods. I never crave high protein foods anymore, and thinking about it makes my stomach hurt. I just want to have fruits and oats. I’m so sick of eating meat, dairy, eggs, and processed protein snacks. But I can’t tone it down either because I…
Not looking to lose weight but want to tone my arms. Advice?
I’m 5’10 and 136 pounds. I’ve always had what I consider to be big arms (in proportion to the rest of my body). Are there any ways I can tone that area without actually losing weight overall?
No Excuse Sunday exercise
Got a great workout day 💪
Protein Powder vs Hydrolyzed Collagen
I'm working on losing ~100 lbs (~25lbs down so far!) and am working pretty hard tracking calories. I've been including some protein powder (mostly whey isolate) in my morning coffee/tea and in the occasional smoothie (and tracking it of course). In the past, I was of the opinion that adding protein powder was "just adding…
Hello
I’m new on here, just trying it out. So far it’s going really good. Wouldn’t mind adding friends with similar weight loss/muscle building goals.
Googling pictures of body builders, or what muscles look like
I have no idea where to post this and this seemed like the most inoffensive place but every few weeks I find myself googling pictures of body builders to see what muscles look like. I will focus on whatever muscle in my body is changing, get a good look at how it looks on body builders, then completely forget what muscles…

How many calories for the shorter gals? :)
I'm 5'1 and I weigh a about 100 lbs. I'm trying to gain muscle on maintenance calories (recomposition) but I don't know if I'm eating too much, or too little. I've been eating around 1,600 calories and I while I don't want to lose weight, I want to lower my body fat %. I have gained a couple lbs since December, but I don't…
