Cravings, lack of willpower, health issue or…?
Hi everyone! I am here to share my story and humbly ask you all for advice and any ideas that I could use in my weight loss journey, as I am trying from a very long time, but not being able to hold the consistency and control my cravings… 😓 Well, I will start from the beginning: I’ve been trying to loose weight since I…
I can finally start seeing the changes (54lbs down.... 116 to go)
I have been bigger than average my whole life. When I stepped on the scales 5 months ago after seeing the pictures of myself from a cousin's wedding... I knew I needed a change. Since then, I have been trying out the Keto diet, I planned my macros, found a company that I can get meal prep from, and here we are, four months…
Less sugar?

App Bug with Exercise
So I am getting rather frustrated with the app, I have gone through support and they just kept suggesting things like restarting the app, my phone, update etc when I have done all that and won't actually support me with the issue. Has any else experienced the issue of the Exercise constantly changing? Makes it hard to…
Does anyone have any meal ideas for low carb high fat meals
I’m currently cutting and looking to change it up a bit by trying to train my body to be fat adaptive .I know this takes time , but what are others putting on their plates? This would be new for me so any input and tips from the community are welcome.
The myth of age and weightloss?
I saw a post about being older and it being harder to lose weight and easier to gain. When you look it up it says a 20 year old man burns 10 - 15 percent more than a 50 year old all else being the same. My question... is all else the same: When i was a kid I played games and sports all day. When i was a teen I played games…
How much protein per day to lose weight?
I'm 5'4 and 135 pounds rn. I want to go down to 120. I've started hitting the gym recently and I learned that consuming lots of protein help, but I can't figure out what my goal should be. Each source tells me a different thing. How do y'all calculate your protein goal?
When will the cravings stop?
Hi everyone 👋🏼 I’m new here and just beginning my journey to lose 75 lbs. I’m having a hard time getting used to the smaller portion sizes and the cravings for foods I used to eat. Also, I. Am. Hungry. When will these things go away? TIA! 😊

Halfway Progress Photo - 62 pounds down
Halfway through my goal. 62 pounds down. I cut out alcohol, changed jobs, and left an unhappy relationship. I have been walking with the aid of Pokémon Go! Only eating out 2 nights a week and high fiber, high protein, meals. Replaced candy with fruit. Please add me if you want to join me on the remainder of my journey!
Having realistic expectations
Not sure who if anyone needs to here this but..IMO. Have realistic expectations and do not let big successes fool you into thinking the realistic expectations are to conservative. You should expect to lose 1 to 2 lbs a week. When i started this again on July 4th I had great success and then I went on a nearly month long…
Importance of Protein and my goal?
So, I have my goals set on my app telling me I have a protein of 84 kg. But I always hear more protein is better for both muscle growth and weight loss. So, should I be aiming to keep this at that rough number it's giving me or does it matter if I go over?
What's my Activity Level?
So going off descriptions, I am Not Very active as I sit at a desk most days. But I don't see a place to input how much exercise I am doing throughout the day as I am going out for walks at minimum twice a day for 10-15 minutes. But I can also be more active either in quantity of walks or duration

Tortoise and the Hare
I've always been a little overweight all my life, borderline between obese and overweight at times, but never in the normal category. It's never bothered me too much because I was extremely active in dance, but such is the way of dance classes, I was pretty much always the biggest girl there. I had lots of attempts in my…

Male 42, 5’10 starting weight 254.5 (on May 3rd) current weight 204.5 (on July 22). NO LONGER OBESE!!! I did not exercise at all. I did count calories (1500 a day).

I found a diet that hits the nail right on the head!
I really never tried weight loss in all my 67 years but when I was told to expect type 2 diabetes in my future I took the plunge. I was 232 lbs, 6-2 male, 67 years old. I decided to go all in over night. I went low carb, 80 or less gms daily and started a IF schedule of 14/10. Also stoped drinking, no junk food at all, all…
Returning MFP user

However, over the years, I reverted to my old habits…
How do I trick myself?
I'm aiming to lose about 5-8kg and I like lots of fruits and vegetables, but I realllyyy can't get myself to willingly eat salad or tomatoes. Idk what it is about them, probably the texture for tomatoes, but I just can't. Could someone give me tips to kinda "trick" myself into eating more of it? I know it's one of the best…
