Weight Loss

Hi friends!
Hi! My name is Ellen, I’m 42, from St. Louis! Looking to get where I want to be fitness-wise while making new friends!
Hi
Hi, my nickname is Rocky. I’ve always had a problem with my weight for such a long time. I love to eat, and sometimes don’t know when or how to stop. I am a 90% disabled veteran so exercise can be difficult to do. If anyone has any ideas on how to get past this hurdle, I’m all ears.
Hello
Hi, My name is Don. I’m new to this app. I will be 62 years old on January 1. I was recently diagnosed having Pre-Diabetes so I decided it was time to start eating healthier and to loose some weight.
Happy New Year 2025!!
My name is Amy and I am 60 years old. I started back on my high protein, low carb diet again the day after Christmas and so far I have lost 11 pounds!! It is going well. I am being VERY strict with everything I consume and it is paying off. I am excited it is working so well.
Exercise adjusted calorie goal
Is there a way to see your total calorie burn for the day? I'm curious if the exercise adjusted calorie intake goal maintains a target caloric deficit per day. Thanks.

Hi everyone! I'm Andrew, and I've been on MFP since 2013ish. In 2016, I had a mild health scare at 306 lbs and, through walking, going to the gym, healthier food decisions, and with the help of MFP, I dropped to 186 and virtually fixed my health problem (which was an irregular heart beat and PACs). I was literally in the…
Back on track
Starting the new year trying to get back on track. While I’ve enjoyed the holidays it’s time fit back into my jeans. Looking to make some healthier food choices and to get consistent with workouts.
I’m back!
Many years ago, this app really helped me find a sense of community that helped me reach a lot of goals. A lot has happened since then… escaped an abusive relationship, experienced many personal and family tragedies, and found myself turning to sugar and junk food for comfort. I gained over 100 lbs and ended up with…
