I'm gaining weight so, I'm back
Several years ago, I used MFP to lose 60 lbs. and have been keeping it off for the last seven years for the most part. I am a mental health patient and the medications that I take are notorious for causing massive weight gain. Recently I have had some medication changes and sure enough, I've experienced some weight gain. I…

Operation: Fit into my jeans
I don't want to buy new clothes but my jeans (and skirts and pants) don't fit anymore. I gained the COVID 20. Very much like the freshman 15. I hope to get a few people to laugh and chat with about success and setbacks. Anything to keep me motivated to use this bloody app! Will love any takers.

Yoga, Stairclimbing and MFP
Hello everyone! Technically I'm not spanking new because I was here 7 years ago when MFP helped me lose 60 lbs. by food logging. But I am now 7 lbs. above my ideal body weight so now I am back. I not only log my calories, but I do 40 to 50 minutes of yoga 4 to 5 days a week. I also do approximately 8 to 9 minutes of…

New Here
Hi everyone, I joined this app yesterday. My name is Amy. I have 36 pounds to lose. I gained it after my breast cancer surgery in 2020. That surgery put me into menopause. It also took the cancer away, so yay! These hormones are kicking my butt though. It's been so hard to lose. So we will see where this goes.

I'm 43 years old, I started weight training when I was 11 years old at the same time I was introduced to martial arts. Both kind of went hand in hand. Also out of every school…

200lbs to lose and looking for support/friends
A little about my current journey. Forgive the ADHD storytelling! I have been on and off MFP for a while, and I've battled with my weight for over 20 years, but 2020 was a turning point. All the stress and weight gain during the pandemic caused me to start blood pressure medication. Then we lost my grandmother quickly and…

What is an NSV/What does that mean?
What is an NSV/What does that mean? Some have been asking, and I haven't yet seen an answer, so: NSV = Non-Scale Victory In other words, where have you seen/heard a comment, noticed a change in your MFP journey, or something similar that was an encouragement to you, but that was NOT related to a 'weight loss' that could be…

262 lb to 180.2 lb
I started at 262 pounds for my heaviest weigh in. I knew I needed to make a change for the better! I ended up using a TDEE Calculator website and found my caloric intake for weight loss and stuck to that! I am still sticking to it as I have some fat on the lower belt that I want to lose! I never really cared about macros…

156-Pound Weight loss, and so much more!
1919 days ago, in January 2017, after a girl’s night out when none of the other ladies wanted to sit beside me in the movie theater, I came here to MFP frustrated and angry with myself. I weight 312 pounds, could hardly walk, and the slightest physical movement left me huffing and puffing and gasping for air. I have two…

I'll be your cheerleader!
Hey! I've been on and off the fitness train more times than I care to admit. My biggest struggle is retaining motivation due to the fact that I despise traditional style fitness (i.e: going to the gym). I find that I am most engaged with exercises that don't make me feel like I'm exercising (manual labor, dancing, yoga…
