Hello! New to my fitness journey.
Hi, I’m new and working to be healthier and get back into good shape. I sit at a desk most days and after 10 years it has really taken a toll. I’m tracking my food and walking daily with some weight lifting. Hoping to find inspiration to keep motivated. Thank you!

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…

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.

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,…

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 😁…

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…
