Weight Loss

TURNED 49 TODAY!!!
I'm now in my 50th year! Better make 49 count!
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

Weight loss not showing on profile. Please help!

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…
Hello from Belgium
Hello guys, I've started to use MFP a week ago after I tried other apps that didn't meet my expectations. And here I am ! It's been a few weeks now that I pay attention to my food and 2 weeks that I run with a group of runners. It seems to work ! I've decided to change my appearance during a festival where I could not be…
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. Fast forward to about a year and a half ago I found my husband of 16 years had been having an affair. Instead of him being…

Loosing weight rapidly but leading to lower back pain
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.

For real. I spent 8 years not sleeping, not taking care of myself, barely surviving. He's 10 now - he sleeps, I sleep, but…
Trying it out
I’ve been a member of MFP for years but found another app that I actually liked using and have been with it for a few years. But, I’m back again to give MFP another try. Right now, my plan is to meet my protein goals. I’ve slacked this summer with nutrition and it’s time to change that. Life has also gotten in the way of…
Killin' it at 49 (and w/this app!)
I sat in defeat + depression in June of 2022. Didn't believe I could take control. Didn't believe I could erase two years of Covid induced, sedentary lifestyle + the 30lbs added to my frame. I changed soooo many little things to pull me out of that nosedive. I was teetering around 195lbs. Now I'm teetering around 165lbs.…

I've got a long way to go still but I reached 70lbs down today. I've basically just changed my diet and been mindful of what I eat.
