How long to go from 30% (or 23%) body fat to 15%?
This question has been answered a couple times, but not within my numbers (as far as I can tell). I'm 31 years old, 6ft, and I currently weigh 202 lbs (started at around 220 earlier this year). I'm starting to get more serious about my weight loss and general health, but I'm curious what a realistic timeline for my goals…

Just thought I’d say hi!
Hi all, I hurt myself back in November 2022 and have spend the better part of a year doing everything I can to get myself back to where I was. First stop was healing the injury and strengthening the muscles around it. Now it’s build on that! With the injury came the addition of 20lbs on my frame, so I’m hoping to get that…

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…

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…

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!

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…

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.

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.
