Body image issues after losing weight?
This is a subject that I didn’t realize I would need to address but…well…here I am. Does anyone who has lost a lot of weight struggle with body image? A quick summary to help make sense of where I’m coming from. When I was in my 20s-30s i basically lived at my gym (hence the username)…I was strong…I was cut (lifted 5/days…

Change is a marathon, not a sprint
Happy Friday, MFP fam! My name is Fred. Change is a marathon, not a sprint. With dedication and the support of this amazing community, there's nothing we can't achieve. Each step I take, and every mile I log, brings me nearer to that December half marathon goal. But it's always that first step, taken with determination,…

Hey everyone!
Good morning everyone! I’ve been using the app for a while, but wasn’t aware there was a community feature. Anyway, glad to be here. Since July 10th I’ve lost 22.7lbs, coming from 280. I’ve always had self-image issues, from the time I was 16 to 25 I stayed at a steady 185-198. However, when the pandemic hit I let myself…

Getting (re) started
Lost almost 40 pounds on WW prior to 2019 and now find myself with half of it back. Pretty happy I’ve found MFP again. Logged consistently for the past 2 weeks. Looking to add walking and Pickleball in for exercise. Got my Apple Watch counting steps. Any suggestions out there for success??

100,000 steps in a day
I walked 100,000 steps in a day on 30th September. I did this in memory of my little brother who I lost to pancreatic cancer this summer, and to mark the 1st anniversary since losing my mum last year. The first half of the walk was fantastic, plenty of energy and some great surroundings and views. The last 30,000 steps…

New to MFP, Excited for the journey!
Hey 👋🏻, I usually never do forums but I figured this time around, why not. I'm 26, I've tried WW in the past and have always struggled with sticking with programs and calorie counting. Over the past few years, my weight has became my biggest insecurity. My mantra has been "nothing changes if nothing changes". Trying to…

Is this maintenance? Can I celebrate yet?
I just looked at what turns out to be about ten years of data. It made me feel a little bit better. Like most of us, I sometimes get a little frustrated when only looking at recent data. In my case, I had lost about 30 pounds to what I thought was an ideal weight. I maintained in a healthy range around that weight for…

Moved here from Noom
Hello I just recently left Noom. Was part of it since 2019. But jumped ship. Landed here and I have to say that this App has a lot more to offer. I’m not here to complain about Noom. It just was not working for me anymore. So looking at this App I see so much more that I can glean off beside valor count fat/sugar/protein…

Met another milestone today 70lbs gone!
I've got a long way to go still but I reached 70lbs down today. I've basically just changed my diet and been mindful of what I eat. I've added some walking and for the past month been going to PT for a bulging Disc, it's helping. I just wanted to toot my own horn. I don't have a lot of support at home to share this with. I…

Late 30s, Seeking support from others, who share their food diary
Ive had success in the past, but many people on my friend's list are no longer active on MFP. Ideally, I'd like to make friends who often post their meals. Make friends who post their gains and losses. I'd love if my newsfeed was more active to really motivate me. I am looking to feel like I am on a team of people who are…

Hi!
I’m Madge, I started using MyFitnessPal a couple of months ago. I’ve tried several diets, and I finally found one that works for me. The low-fat diet. I eat only whole foods, which are not very calorie dense, but I still feel full! It’s a very healthy diet. Since I’ve started this diet, my weight has been continuously…

Any Beadworkers here?
Hey all. I've been here for a year and a half and find that doing beadwork really helps me keep my mind off food. I mean, it's such a good food-control device, I'll be STARVING by the time I drag myself away from my project to eat, lol! Are there any other beaders out there who are obsessive about beading? I work with…
