Got up to 208 lbs. and I'm 5 ft 8.5 in. and female. Then, I switched psychiatric meds and lost 60 lbs. over one year with seemingly little effort.

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.

Back for a new season of life

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…
