Success: A Year Ago I Couldn't Walk to My Car...
Hello! It's an obligatory success post since people really seem to like them! :smile: Here's a little backstory. A year ago, I couldn't even walk to my car without being in pain. My hips hurt so much, my legs were struggling to hold up my 390 pounds, and whenever I went into Walmart or any store, I had to be in either an…

Is my calorie deficit ok? 7lbs week 1
Hey guys, so just finished my first 10 days using MFP and I've lost 7lbs :) This is the first time I've ever tried weight loss and although I cant see any changes yet, the scales obviously do. I'm not feeling hungry throughout the day and I'm only eating between 12pm-8pm Should I expect this loss to slow down? I've…

When a Slip becomes a Slide
I need help. I need accountability. I have all the right intentions and then I slip. What’s worse is when the slip becomes a slide. I have the worst addiction to fast food. Hard day? Fast food for dinner. Tired? Fast food for dinner. Happy? Treat myself, fast food for dinner! I want to be a health nut so badly. I want a…

45 and healthy by genetics only- Day 2 of Diet Plan! 😀
My parents cooked healthy and I'm like a trust fund child with the genetics. I don't eat fried foods much and never season with salt. I do eat late at night and have a vicious craving for doughy sweets, cookies, honey buns with the icing etc. When I focus I lose weight quickly but since my diet is tied to emotional eating,…

Hi, I’m Kat. I’ve been on MFP for a while now, but only used it occasionally. I’m getting tired of making excuses and want to lose weight and maintain it so I’m more comfortable with myself. Looking for anyone to add me just so we can reciprocate motivation. ✌🏻

First time poster. Sharing my story
Hello! I'm Zach. I've been using mfp off and on for around a decade, but I've never posted on the forums. Figured I might as well give it a go and share a bit about my journey. I've been uncomfortable with my weight for as long as I can remember. Even as a child, I was on the heavy side. I spent my whole life thinking…

Hit my first mini goal today!
I've lost my first 20lbs! 21.6 to be exact. I even broke out some of my "what if pants" and was able to wear them. I cut almost all carbs out this past week and learned my body loves sugar and carbs if I eat just a small amount I maintain or gain weight. I'm going need all the motivation I can get because I love carbs 😁…

Reaching Out
Hi! I'm Ethan. I have used MyFitnessPal off and on for years. Almost exactly a year ago, I started a program when I was at my heaviest (336) and dropped down to 195. I reached that point around late November. Since then, I have crept back up to 240. I've signed up for the premium edition of MyFitnessPal and hope to get…

I've been type two diabetic for 20+ years. My doctor has just eliminated 100% of my medications!!!
I will be 34 in April. Over 20 years ago I struggled with "pre-diabetes." I was a teenager and diabetes runs in my family. "This is your doctor's office calling. Your results came back. You are now a type two diabetic." I fell into depression. Lost and gained 30+ lbs within 2 months. My endocrine would say: "Why do you…

Today was picture day
Oh goodness 🙈 today was my initial “before-picture” day. I also calculated my BMI. Yikies 😳. But all is good.

Here is to this new…

Five years
I joined My Fitness Pal on 23 February, 2018. Today marks five years. Guess what? IT WORKS!!!! Before I was on MFP, I was using a service from the US Department of Agriculture called "SuperTracker." It was non-commercial. It was much more klunky than MFP, but it was a public resource. I had some success. I was happy with…

Down 10 pounds this month!
I had been doing WW on and off for the past year or so. Recently started tracking in MFP instead and have been amazed. I feel like I can eat so much more. Point values for sweets are so inflated on WW. With MFP, calories are calories. I am trying to watch my macros as well… I’m learning so much more about nutrition in…
