It’s been a year now, and gained all the weight I lost 10 years ago after being cancer free. I am married 37 years and have a beautiful family including 2 grandchildren. I want to feel good, look good and be healthy…

Last chance
I'm fast approaching 70 and this will be my last chance to get some kind of fitness. Way back I was introduced to MFP following an "episode" where I briefly exited this world. Managing to lose 10% of my body mass in a single month, my weight levelled off to where my body thought it should be and stayed there for some time.…

First timer!

I secretly wish I could develop Anorexia sometimes. I can't live such a fat life.

Walking Warriors, let me hear you!
Walking is a low-impact exercise that can lift your spirits, retain/build some muscle, and expose you to sunlight and nature My story I injured myself (peroneal tendonitis in both legs) during a 10k.

Back for a new season of life
I took a long break from MyFitnessPal but am pleased by the changes that make food logging so much easier. I’d lost weight, gotten cancer, had surgery which removed it all but then messed up my mind, my gut and my ability to exercise freely from complications. I’ve been healing my gut, healing my mind and now I can freely…

Bring Back Plans!
Removing the Plans feature and replacing it with a meal planner that requires a more expensive premium plan has ruined this app for me. I am a premium member, but I really loved the Plans, and I have no interest in buying a more expensive membership to use the meal planner. You took away a great feature from everyone and…

Trying to stay mobile to 100 and beyond!
My body started to remind me that routine maintenance was required. I downloaded this app as a tool to stay motivated. Not a fan of medications and/or surgeries to fix problems that I can fix myself with diet and targeted exercise.
