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…

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

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.

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…

Eating back Calories Burned
Just curious if anyone has experimented with this and figured out what works best for them. Does eating back your calories burned still help you lose weight? I have a feeling that for me eating back the calories slows my progress. I'm 171lbs 5'7 Goal 150ish

Too many calories allowed?
I began this program yesterday and both yesterday and today, I got to the end of the day with 200+ calories remaining. I really didn't eat any less than what I usually eat, I just tried to keep my sugar intake in check. I feel like I'm now trying to eat more calories than before starting the program. How am I going to lose…

Needing some motivation
Hi. My name is Kimberly. The last few years I have allowed myself to fall into a hole of depression. My weight ballooned! Each time I tried to dig myself out of the hole I just kept falling further.

I am 34,M and have recently started fasting along with workouts. Since I began within 22 days I have lost around 11.24 pounds or 5.1Kgs.
