Best macros for weight loss
I'm tired of fad diets that drastically reduce carbs, fat, sugar or whatever. They don't work for me ... I get really cranky and cheat. I find I am more satiated and less likely to cheat when I eat a balanced diet. I read online that the most effective approach for many people is eating a range of 5 to 15% carbs, 25 to 35%…

Body recomposition
Hi I’m New to MyFitnessPal! I recently discovered weight lifting about 2 years ago shortly after I lost 20 pounds, and I fell in love 😅 it’s seriously the best. I tend to shift slightly towards body building, only because I realized how much muscles can shape your body. It’s crazy!! I’m currently on a cut right now, trying…

I’m confused on how much protein, carbs and fat I should be eating to lose weight? I know more protein in the diet is a good thing for fat loss but how much is too much? I’m having a hard time trying to find a way to calculate this. Any help or advice is appreciated!

Scale Trust Issues
I’m skeptical about my scale. I don’t totally trust it. It’s on a thin carpet, (the floors in my bathroom are slanted, where my scale gives me 3 TOTALLY different readings within a minute in there) but its placement (on the rug) is the only thing that keeps me weighing in daily. It’s stayed in the same spot for 3 months…

Starting again and looking for friends over 50 to support each other
Well I’m back again after losing and then gaining back 30 pounds over the last year or so. I hadn’t lost all that I wanted to even then. In reality, I would like to lose about 80. I have been on this cycle where I lose some for an event or a vacation then proceed to gain it all back. I’m 52 now and want to get a handle on…

Body image issues after losing weight?
This is a subject that I didn’t realize I would need to address but…well…here I am. Does anyone who has lost a lot of weight struggle with body image? A quick summary to help make sense of where I’m coming from. When I was in my 20s-30s i basically lived at my gym (hence the username)…I was strong…I was cut (lifted 5/days…

Weight fluctuation
Hey guys! I was just wondering what the normal range typically for weight fluctuation? Especially in the beginning? Or is that even a thing really?

Hmmm well this is interesting
So kind of confused as to what this app/site is for really but yeah. I started taking several medications about 2 years ago for my mental health and in 2 months I gained 70 pounds! I've always been 145 so it's been very disheartening and embarrassing. So hoping to loose at least most of it and get back to the old me

I’m a newbie
I’m using this app after many years on WW and the WW app. Yep - it’s a lifelong struggle. Anyway, gotta say I am loving the app. I started using it when I started 75 hard a few days ago.

Couch to 5K (C25K) beginners group
Anyone recently started C25K? I completed the program in 2016 and it was great. I was running 30/40 minutes 3x a week non stop for over a year after, so I know it works! Starting again after not running for years and it’s like I’ve never ran in my life. Was it this hard to start last time?😰 Just completed W1D2 today with…

Hello 👋 MyFitnessPal
Back in 2019 I lost 75 pounds with Keto, calorie restriction, intermittent fasting and cardio training. Unfortunately I gained it all back due to medications. May 1st of 2023 I started back on my journey and I’ve lost 21 pounds so far. I started at 243 pounds and I’m down to 221 pounds. I aim to get down to 170 pounds or…

How many rest days do you take?
Do you take them between training days or all in a row? I usually do 2 on, 2 off. But thinking of doing 4 straight this week. My arms are sore from upper yesterday, so I don't know if lower is a good idea since I'm deadlifting etc.

Using Semaglutides is cheating or not?
Since this is the debate page, I figured I'd ask the masses here how they feel about someone or themselves using Semaglutides for weight loss such as Wegovy, Ozempic or other Compound Semaglutide forms. I've found in my personal circle that there is a mixed feeling in this as some people consider it "cheating" and some say…

Should I bulk, cut, or recomp?
Looking for advice on whether I should bulk, cut, or recomp at this point! I’ve been attempting a slight caloric deficit over the past year (slow cut) because I wanted to lose 10-15 lbs. I did, but now I still want to be able to see my abs more and just look more toned overall. But I also want to add more muscle,…

Is this maintenance? Can I celebrate yet?
I just looked at what turns out to be about ten years of data. It made me feel a little bit better. Like most of us, I sometimes get a little frustrated when only looking at recent data. In my case, I had lost about 30 pounds to what I thought was an ideal weight. I maintained in a healthy range around that weight for…
