ET Rochester
Hello everybody, I am in my late 50s and need to start taking care of myself. I am feeling the effects of aging quite a bit in the past couple years so I’m joining here to try to change my habits a bit. I have been working from home for nearly 5 years and have become very sedentary. I’m tired all the time, have brain fog…

What year was this community section invented?
Hey i haven't been on myfitness pal for 7 years i think, the last time i was on it, i don't think it had a community section. Where you could ask questions and get replies. Does anyone know when the community section was created? I'm just curious?

Returning member starting a second weight loss journey!
Hey y'all!!!! Not my first rodeo here lol!!! I had a successful weight loss journey losing about 50 lbs but gained most of it back due to poor mental health and diet. I stopped taking care of myself and gave up. Now after gaining almost all of it back, I had a wake up call that this isn't the path I want to go down. I…

Hello!
Just wanted to introduce myself! Not sure if this is the place to do so. I joined MyFitnessPal because my weight is starting to creep back up again. I have gained back 20lbs of the 80lbs that I’ve lost. I started running again, and my knees started to hurt badly. Well, that added 20lbs does not help, so I decided to put my…

Certain parts of my body shake/tremble at certain positions. Why?
For some background, I'm a 23 year old female. Since I was about 9 I used the internet as an escape from the stresses I was facing in person/life. Without getting into detail, this went on until about November 2023, on which I stopped feeling the need to be online much and started feeling much better mentally, emotionally…

Hey, there.
I'm new to MyFitnessPal. I'm attempting to get back into better shape and health, and I chose this venue as a way to try. I've had some issues with disordered eating in the past, so my focus is not specifically on weight, but how my clothes fit and how I feel (energetic, etc.). Thank you for reading.

Weight loss without, or with limited, physical activity.
Hi there. I've struggled with weight loss over the last 3-4 years, mostly due to medical/physical health issues. As a result, the amount of physical activity I could do is limited to none. I'd lose a pound or two, then gain... or remain at a stable weight, then gain... and gain. Life happens, etc. Well now, between May…

How do you get your head (self image, self-talk, confidence) to catch up with your weight loss?
I am 4 pounds from my goal weight and find myself second guessing my success. Lately my habits have helped weight loss seem “too easy” and I expect to wake up any day and find that I’ve regained the 35 pounds I’ve lost, or that once I hit my goal that I won’t be able to maintain it (like the yo-yo weight I’ve done my…

Help this introvert get out there
I have so many interests, tennis, hiking, golf, and especially swimming. My introversion holds me back from so many. My friends' schedules differ from mine and can’t usually join me. I know I should just get out there and enjoy it on my own. There’s a pool about 15 minutes away from me and I’ve gone with friends during the…

Appetite and stomach upset after hard workouts and training runs + sleep disruption
Hi all! I am struggling to manage the syptoms mentioned in the title here. After training runs (so today for instance my long run was 11 miles) I feel stomach upset to where it’s difficult to eat, sometimes for the full rest of the day.

Coach Account
This is a little bit of a piggy back to anothers post but as someone who is getting started in the coaching business it would be SUPER helpful if we could have a coach account. I like a lot of the different aspects of MFP and use them in my own life. But as a coach, what I'd like to do is set up each client with a premium…
