Cravings, lack of willpower, health issue or…?
Hi everyone! I am here to share my story and humbly ask you all for advice and any ideas that I could use in my weight loss journey, as I am trying from a very long time, but not being able to hold the consistency and control my cravings… 😓 Well, I will start from the beginning: I’ve been trying to loose weight since I…
Weaning away from weight loss
I'm a 53 yr old male, 5'9” currently 205lbs. Even at my heaviest all my blood tests and medical results remained in the normal zones, so my health is great. I was a college athlete 30+ years ago and weighed 190lbs with 6% BF at that time. Over the last 9 months I've lost 120lbs with net carbs under 20g/day (all veggies)…
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…

People tell me I need to eat 300 cals less then the day before until I hit zero then start again but I don’t really get it can someone just explain cutting to me? I’m new to all of this
Sticking With It
Came back to NY from FL with my weight up about 10 pounds and I committed to get it off. Made some small changes and with eating a little less, drinking less and exercising more the weight is slowly but surely coming off. and with the working out my clothes all fit better. After years of gaining and losing this time I know…
MyPalFitness is telling me 2200 calories still after achieving my weight gain goal of 125.
I thought once I reached my goal, it'll go down so as I can maintain and keep the goal. Another thing is when I put in my weight in another app called MyDiaryNet, it tells me 1785 Cals a day to maintain my weight of 125. Is MyPalFitness not going to update?
New to this!

How do I log a gym class?
Hi! Question: how do I add a spin class or Pilates class to my exercise log? I don’t want to have to enter in every movement we do in each class. Thanks! Anna
Add "Medical Conditions" to help tailor nutrients.
Certain conditions require less or more of certain nutrients that might be considered abnormal for most but necessary for some. I.e. POTS and Sodium. Someone with pots might need to consume more salt than what's healthy for others. There are other conditions that impact the diet that MyFitnessPal might flair despite it…
Need some friends
I started this weight loss journey on February 28, 2023. By December I had lost 38 pounds toward my 40 pound goal. I kept losing until February of this year when I lost a workout friend to a sudden death. It threw me off my game. I found I am an emotional eater for sure! Today, I am up 7 pounds. Still logging, still…

Pregnant and tracking- for health reasons.
I’m pregnant but I’m 40 lbs overweight. I am so overweight I have been informed I should actually not gain weight, but at most 10 lbs. There is no medical need for me to gain weight. I am trying to at least maintain. I started at 187, and was 194 by 10 weeks. My Dr. was concerned. I have been tracking now (my Dr. is aware)…

Hello
Hey all! My name is Mohammad and I started my fitness journey in 2022. Had lost 60lbs simply by depriving myself of food and hitting the gym. I didn't fully understand nutrition and thought being in calorie deficit + low carbs + working out 3x a week was good enough. It worked while it lasted but I'm still not in the…
Any tips on how to reduce stomach inflammation??
I have exhausted every piece of advice online about how to reduce stomach inflammation and nothing works for me- I have a rare condition called MCAS that causes all the inflammatory responses. Medication for this is expensive af. And cryotherapy has helped in the past but that is also very pricey and I can’t do that.…
Falling off the wagon, only to get back on again
Hi, my name is Marla and I live in WV. I am a school teacher. I am a mother of 2. I recently found out that pain I was having was a pulmonary embolism, which was terrifying at my age. I have recently got back "on the diet wagon" and am trying to make better lifestyle choices. I have incorporated more fruit and veggies in…
In desperate need of an accountability partner
Hi! I’ve used MFP for years and have never used this feature. I’m a 42y/o woman who does barbell training almost exclusively. I have a coach through Barbell Logic and I adore her but I’ve seriously struggled with motivation and accountability. Finding other women who also lift is often challenging so I'm not even looking…
How do I know when to Adjust my Cutting Diet?
I’ve been cutting for about two months now. Love the results and feeling phenomenal. My question is when doing this diet is there ever a need to adjust my macros? For instance I’m 40, 5’11 and keep my calories to 1950-2k a day with regular intense lifting 5 days a week. I’ve lost close to 20 pounds but want to be sure I’m…

I have been in a strict 2000-calorie diet for the last 6 weeks and have shed 3kg weight. I weigh 74.5 kg with 13% body fat and 37.5 kg of muscle mass. Now I want to gain muscle…
🏆🏆Looking for success? I've FOUND IT!! A picture is worth 1000 words (TY TY MFP!) 288 to 178!
A picture is worth a thousand words. From 288 to 178! How did I do this? By myself? My own knowledge? NO WAY!! I had gone from 288 to 256 that way, but was already not progressing in 2010! I did an online search and found a site now closed. When that site (Sparkpeople) closed we went looking for another weight loss group…
Why do I keep gaining weight?!
I walk/run 8-10 miles a day. I have a very active job, so I rarely sit down during the day. My net calories are 1,200 – 1,500 a day. But I am consistently gaining 2+ pounds a week!! Why is this happening? It’s so frustrating! What am I doing wrong? I would really appreciate help.
