Does anyone have a similar experience? Fear of Goal Weight
I have a milestone but I keep avoiding it. I reached it once 25 years ago and then immediately stopped trying to lose weight. I reached it again two years ago and then immediately stopped trying to lose weight. When I see that first number change from a 2 to a 1, panic sets in. It really concerns me that I have this mental…

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…

Newbie but an Oldie
I'm entering my golden years and want to get healthy. I've lost 50 lbs. using a weight loss medication, but now I want to do it on my own… with the support of others. I have physical limitations, but hopefully, with the weight loss, I'll become more active.
