Finally got round to doing something
Hi folks. I'm new to Myfitnesspal. I finally got round to doing something about my obesity. I lost a fair amount a few years back but it all crept back on. Now I'm back on the food logging, night fasting, careful eating, small portion bandwagon, and so far (3 days and counting) it is paying off.

The last few kgs are the hardest to shed?
Hi, I’m 38 female 170cm height . For the last 3 month or so I’ve been following a healthy lifestyle (dieting, working out, plus the occasional treats), and I managed to lose around 3kgs. I’ve noticed that the closer I get to my ideal weight (68kg) the more difficult it is to lose the last few kgs of fat. My muscle mass has…

Binge eating
Any tips or advice to avoid binge eating ? I do indulge in small treats that fit my calories most days, but there’s always that one day where I go nuts, realize what I did, and get upset with myself . It’s slowing my progress from losing 1lb a week to half a pound or to even no weight loss. It’s been a month of this…

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.

Trying to lose at 49
It seems that as I get closer to 50, keeping the weight off and losing it is much more challenging though I am active. I’ve gained 5 pounds and in the process of trying unsuccessfully to lose it, seem to have gained 5 more. Maybe it’s due to my age, to stress from a busy schedule and maybe due to approaching menopause. I’m…

50 year old lady needs to lose 50lbs!!
I’ve tried on my own. I just can’t find the motivation or discipline. I’m not willing to do anything crazy for a diet, like keto, but I’m in search of a community of women that have found it harder to lose weight as the age. Ugh!! Frustrating!!!
