Habits instead of numbers?
Hi everyone. I'm back again and having a hard time getting motivated. I first joined back in 2015. I was 187 lbs and thought that was as high as I’d ever get. I was eager and excited to make changes and I was successful in losing over 30lbs, then I stopped logging, quit smoking, and gained back every lb plus an extra 25,…

Starting my 350+ Weight Loss Journey
What is up, Duckman here (yes it's my gamer handle and channel name), and I am starting a journey that seems like will take a decade to accomplish.

Calculate a Serving "Size"
Greetings, Nearly all recipes you find are quick to tell you the number of servings a dish was designed to provide, but they never tell you just how much a serving is, whether in standard or metric units. Maybe MFP could have a bit of code that helps calculate this information based on the amounts of the ingredients in the…

Copy Recipe or Meal to Change Items
Greetings, When it comes to recipes, I have several that are essentially the same thing, but one ingredient has changed; for example, I have two salad recipes where the protein changes (one has chicken, one has pork). I'd like the ability to copy recipes and meals with new names so I don't have to re-invent the wheel every…

I'm gaining weight so, I'm back
Several years ago, I used MFP to lose 60 lbs. and have been keeping it off for the last seven years for the most part. I am a mental health patient and the medications that I take are notorious for causing massive weight gain. Recently I have had some medication changes and sure enough, I've experienced some weight gain. I…

Back on the horse…
Lifelong struggle with my weight. No support from hubby (who can eat anything and not gain weight) who thinks if I just eat salads for every meal, how can I not lose weight? I’ve done vegetarian, prescription medication, veganIsm, keto and low fat diets. I am open for new friends and to be a friend to others that struggle.

I am DONE!!
This is me about 12 years ago. I can see so much more self-confidence and self-reliance in my eyes. I miss that. Physical and mental health problems, nursing my Mother through dementia and grieving her death, along with comfort eating, have been the contributors to me gaining well over 70lbs since this photo was taken. I…

Operation: Fit into my jeans
I don't want to buy new clothes but my jeans (and skirts and pants) don't fit anymore. I gained the COVID 20. Very much like the freshman 15. I hope to get a few people to laugh and chat with about success and setbacks. Anything to keep me motivated to use this bloody app! Will love any takers.

Millets and diabetes
How millets release glucose? We've always heard and some what believed that millets are good for diabetics, their slow-release mechanism helps to release glucose over a period time, etc So if you never believed it, it's ok, neither did I 😉 So I thought of trying it out and see if there's really proof in this pudding called…

Weightless pals
Does anyone want to be pals in trying to lose weight? I'm just trying to lose 10 - 15 lbs. I've been trying to lose weight for months, but it's not really working out. I think having a friend who could keep me accountable would help. Does anyone want to become pals and ask each other about daily progress?

Is my goal possible? How should I go about doing it?
I’m 5”1 at 115 lbs with a GW of 106 lbs (my weight before my parents’ divorce caused my anxiety and depression to flare then result in binging). I want to achieve my GW in 5 weeks or less, is it possible? I go to the gym at least 4 times a week, I used to focus on cardio but now I focus on resistance and strength training.…

Fibro and Fasting
I have just begun an extended protein sparing fast. I have multiple food intolerances, so fasting takes a lot of the guessing out of it. I am hoping to lose weight and also to decrease my inflammation and pain.
