New to the app, feeling pretty low.
Hey y’all I’m Matt. I decided it’s time for me to really take my health seriously after my wife and I bought a treadmill and I’m too heavy to use it. I realized this is the breaking point for me mentally and I need to change. Hoping this app will help because I’m feeling pretty low right now. Would love to meet some people…

Hiya!
SW: 240 lbs GW: 150 The pandemic brought me 80 pounds (over the course of 3 years) and a lot of struggling with self-image. It took me a while to understand that trying to go back to old ways weren’t going to work for this new “era”, so here I am. I do have a question: how in the world did 6000+ steps earn me another 2300…

Question about calories /reaching and maintaining goal weight
Hey there! I recently lost 20lbs and recently gained back about 5-6lbs over the holidays. I did it by eating in a calorie deficit and eating highly nutritious food so I wouldn’t be hungry. I’m 5’4 and was 129/ bordering on 130lbs. I’m 29. I got down to 110lbs which was my goal weight. The range for my height is 110-140lbs…

Steps and calories
Hi, MFP is counting my daily steps and converting them into calories, but when I then go and do a workout to gain extra, the calories from my steps are removed. Why is this, why is MFP only counting the calories from my workouts and not steps? I am using Apple Watch and Iphone. Thanks.

Making it happen -- for the first time in years.
Hi folks! Needed to share it out with someone. I've been logging calories for 5 days. I worked out today for the first time in probably 4 or 5 years. I bought myself some kettlebells, and a wrist device to help keep track of steps, heart rate, sleep, so on. It feels great to actually make it happen. I'm also making myself…

Trulicity woes
I missed 4 weekly doses of Trulicity 3mg/0.5mL because it's on backorder. Finally, my Dr allowed the pharmacy to change it to 1.5mg/mL because that's all that was available, and availability is spotty for that, too. I was pre-diabetic when I started taking this Rx, and it brought my HbA1c within normal limits. I'm not just…

Fast Weight loss
So based on this calculator. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-many-calories-per-day#calculator To lose weight fast I'd have to eat 1,243 calories. Which is not alot of food. I could make it work but the thing is, how exactly fast am I getting?

Starting Off Slow
Mucho Gusto! I’m pretty sedentary I think, and my job contains a lot of sitting with short walks back and forth. I’m also studying to further advance my career, so that’s a lot of sitting at a computer or in class as well. Right now I’ve been trying to only focus on steps and trying to hit a daily goal with step count. I…

Water weight and my calorie limit
Hi all! I’m 12 days in, and I’m currently test-driving MFP’s suggested calorie intake. I’m F(49), 5’8”, and had a SW of 181. My daily intake is 1340. It feels a little low, but I’m taking some advice I saw elsewhere on the forum and sticking to it for 4-6 weeks to see how it works. My question is this: when I do the math…

Motivation: it's a choice
I have heard a lot of talk about, and have personally said "I need motivation to lose weight" and "I need an accountability partner to help me". But the motivation isn't something that appears out of thin air. It's always there. It's just a decision you choose to listen to or ignore because something else is screaming…

At 72 and in moderate health, I'm hoping that MFP will prove that age is not an obstacle to achieving a healthy body.
