Weight

I’ve hit a plateau
I’ve been going great with gradual weight loss. Roughly a pound a week but for the last few weeks nothing has changed. I’ve been real good. Anyone any ideas to kickstart it again?
Going to the gym and gaining weight
Hi! I am 188 pounds now. 2 weeks ago I was 184 and also 2 weeks ago is when I started to go to the gym. I do cardio on the treadmill for 15 mins and then lift weights for 20 mins. I go to the gym 5x a week. After I get home from the gym. I am so hungry. I end up eating way more that my MFP calories of 1460. Before I was…
Hello 👋🏼 to all
Hello 👋🏼! I have used this app in the past. Gave up. Tried again. Gave up. Tried again. Hello again. Lol. Do you know this story too? I have arthritis, depression, CPTSD, disordered eating, a great husband, I’m the biggest of all my friends. Oh, and I just came out of a bad home battle with COVID. I feel like crap 💩 and…
I’m New!
Hi Everyone, Just starting my journey today. I’m nervous because I have a hard time staying motivated because of health issues. But I’m telling myself I’ll feel better by taking control of my nutrition and fitness. I’ll be needing loads of support and inspiration! I’m so glad to be here.
Work out or accountability partner
Hello all, My weight has fluctuated my entire life and I'm tired of failing. This is the biggest I have ever been and it has taken a toll on my physical and mental health. I am 37 years old and reside in the Acworth/Kennesaw/Dallas area if anyone is looking for a work out partner. I am fairly new to GA so I don't know many…

Weight loss graph missing
I used to have a graph with my weight history and pictures along the way but I can no longer find it. Do you know where I can find it?
Calorie intake
Hi I am on a caloric deficit of 1500 but some days I will not even eat a 1000 calories. My question is that would it be a problem if I sometimes eat less then my caloric deficit and would that impact my body metabolism or even slow it down further as my body might get used to eating even less calories and won’t really…
Weight tracking
Has the app been updated? It’s now takes many more clicks to add my weight, and once I add my weight it defaults back to the home screen instead of staying on the screen where I can look at my progress. This is frustrating to say the least
Newly into fitness
Hey y'all! I hope everyone is doing well, I just had one question. I'm currently 26 weighting 151 pounds, im 5'6. I like my weight, I'd like to keep it and tone. However I am not a fan of the fat around my lower tummy. What can I do to maintain the weight I have and tone but also burn fat around just my tummy? If this is…
How to set my fitness app to maintain
So I just reached my weight goal! I want to maintain this weight. When I first set up the app it automatically set my calories protein etc for weight loss. I need to change it to maintain so it will change my calories etc to maintain my weight, how do I do this?
Very Discouraged - Send help!
This is going to sound dumb probably but I'm on Day 10 of my new 28 day diet (paid for and custom to me) and Day 12 of my 30 day exercise plan. I weighed in today for the first time in 12 days and lost only 1lb while I was projected to lose a MINIMUM of 1.5 and more likely 2.5lb during that time period. It was super…
Setting calories for post partum belly fat loss/skinny fat/body recomp?
I'm 6 months postpartum, 5'8", 133 lbs. I've always been (and still am) skinnyfat. My goal is to shrink my waist/belly (it's ~5" bigger than pre-pregnancy), but to gain (or at least not lose) any muscle. I don't care about "losing weight" since 133lbs, although 10lbs greater than pre-pregnancy, is fine for my height. I…
Should I lose weight or bulk up my abs?
Sorry for the pictures, but here is a "progression" of my abs even if I think it is not really changing https://imgur.com/a/KVIrgg9 What should I do? Because I feel like I lost fat everywhere but the belly fat. Same for the workout, I don't feel like they are developing. My usual eating day is hot chocolate, then eggs or…
Mackie Nutrition Scale?
I came across this scale while looking for something that I could bring on the road with me: https://www.mackiescientific.com/ Has anyone used this before? It looks like it has it's own food database plus you can add your own foods and recipes. I know that free apps can do the same, but the nice thing about this being in a…
Data not sent to Fitbit
I have a Withings scale that syncs beautifully with MFP. I also have other fitness apps that will write activities to MFP. The exercise activities sync to Fitbit, but food and weight entries DO NOT get sent to Fitbit. This has been true for nearly two years and three different watches (same Fitbit and MFP accounts).
Starting again!
Hi all! I'm back, totally disgusted on what I've let myself turn in to. I never thought I'd get this big! But, I'm back to change that. Any help or suggestions are welcomed!

Hi friends!
New to MFP! I live with POTs I’m on new meds that make weight gain a problem and I’m looking to take back control (maybe aim for healthier food along the way). I need to eat more salt but I don’t want that to turn into an unhealthy diet that may make me gain weight! Open to friend requests, a community always makes it…
No Excuse Sunday exercise
Got a great workout day 💪
Target weights in app are wrong for short women
I’m 156 cm tall (5’1.5”) with slight bones and am tired of being told by your app that I’m underweight. Diversity cuts both ways. I’m 44 kilos, mostly muscle, and eat on average 1700 calories a day, 1300 if I want to lose fat. Our culture tells short people things are wrong with our bodies every single day in a variety of…
I'm 242 pounds and 5'7 tall, and I need to shed a lot of weight before August.
I've been doing calorie deficit for a week and have lost 1 or 2 pounds so far, but I need to lose more by August for a very crucial personal reason. Should I increase my cardio? Please provide ideas. Thank you ahead of time!
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?

Hi!
I'm Christi. I'm 57 and live in a small town in Central Illinois. I have health issues that keep me from working out to an effective level, but really need to get the weight off. I need all the motivation I can get!
