MY 100 POUND JOURNEY
This challenge is for those who need to lose 100+ lbs. My name is Lisa. I’m 5’5” and weigh 300 lbs. My goal weight is 200 lbs (size 16). I’ll still be heavy, but I’m fine with that. I have no desire to be thin. I was always sick when I was thin (135). I’m much healthier with some meat on my bones (and fat smoothes out the…

Trying to keep Control
Today is my second day and I find myself having a hard time keeping control with the urge to eat even though I am not hungry. I stopped smoking two months ago after having been a smoker for 45 years. I am vaping though, but I know that needs to stop as well. But even with the vaping I am having the urge to grab something…

Fat 2 Fit over 50!!
Greetings! My name is Pete, I live in a tiny town an hour north of Vegas. I just started (for the 834th time 😂) this weight loss journey 3 weeks ago. I’m 57, love food and have a very sedentary lifestyle which is a dangerous combination. Currently doing Keto and trying to walk 10k a day. Once I get that dialed in I’ll add…

I am not trying to turn back time, but it would be nice to shed an excessive amount of weight, learn mindfulness and self-confidence after being the pillar of strength for everyone else but myself. I have lived a…

Yo-Yo dieter all my life!
I just wanted to put this out there, I am now 50yo and I have tried every diet under the sun over the last 32 years! I got diagnosed with gall stones nearly 3yr ago and was at my heaviest of 297.5lb.

I'm back...
Several years ago I used MFP to lose over 100 pounds in two years. I felt great and managed to keep it off until my life went to… My husband of over 50 years developed dementia and it progressed fairly rapidly. Over a six month period I managed to clear out our home of nearly 30 years and sell it, buy a nice ground floor…

What weighs ___ lbs?
This is so random but it’s kind of a fun way to visualize how much weight you’ve lost- Google ‘what weighs ____lbs?’ Inserting the exact amount you’ve lost. Someone mentioned in another group they lost 6 lbs and someone else replied saying they lost a whole chihuahua haha! For example- I have lost 23.2 lbs so far so I have…

Hello!
I am a 50+ woman with over 100 pounds to lose. I have several health conditions that I have been using as an excuse to not take care of myself (including arthritis and fibromyalgia). I am starting over to get down to a healthy weight, and to quit wallowing in self pity for not getting there. I am looking for some…

Back at it!
2018 was the last time I use MFP. Started it back up almost a month ago to track calories and macros. I think it's helped keep me on track since I'm down 19lbs. At this rate, I'm hoping to be 100lbs down by July or August. I never used the community option before so I'd love to make a few friends to help with…

How do I make exercise a habit?
I have used this app to track my food and weight for a while but have not taken part in discussions or challenges. I have bad knees and a lot of weight to lose. I cannot motivate myself to exercise as a habit. When I do exercise, I always feel better, but I have some sort of mental block when it comes to making it a…

Hi Everyone
I think I may have been here years ago, but have been off doing my own thing for a while and have gained far too much weight. I'm back now because I need to lose at least 130 pounds before I am a candidate for a much needed hip replacement. My arthritis has me barely able to walk, so I find that it is extremely difficult…

Intro
Hello! I am new to MFP, but I need to lose 100+ lbs and my doctor recommended this today, He says its an app he really trusts and thinks works well. I am nervous to try because I have struggled with my weight and trying to lose weight for many years and have some health conditions that make losing weight difficult. But I…

Getting started AGAIN!
I am a long time but inconsistent user of MFP. I have had success in the past, but always seem to go back to unhealthy habits. I have great proven coping mechanisms, apparently I am not choosing them! I have put on 90 pounds since 2019. I am not getting any younger, so hoping engaging here will provide me with motivation…

Realizing how much I've let myself go
Hello, I'm 34 years old and (this is embarrassing for me to admit) I'm 332 lbs. I've had this app on and off for years and when I really stick to it, I loose weight. I've known this for a while now, but haven't really taken accountability. I've let myself go. And it's embarrassing and upsetting. My hubby and I started…

Back again and needing accountability partners
My name is Rachelle. I've been successful on MyFitnessPal in the past (lost around 40-60lbs if I remember correctly) and just subscribed to the Premium version to try to get serious about it again. I've gotten the heaviest these last couple years than I've ever been in my life, thanks to two babies back to back and a…

8 Months, 8 Stone Down - My Journey (So Far)
Eight months ago, I was 25 stone (159 kg) with a body fat percentage of 34%. This morning, I weighed in at 98 kg with 23% body fat. I’m still considered “obese” by BMI standards, but I feel stronger, healthier, and more in control than I have in years. I wanted to share my journey - not because I have all the answers, but…

I'm a newbie
Hi all! I joined the app this week and I just took my 3rd GLP-1 shot. I'm down 6.5 lbs, feeling more energy and less inflammation. It's been a great experience so far. I'm basically trying to figure out how to eat. I don't really understand macros but I like that the food log figures it out. When in doubt,I just stick to…

1Year 56kilo gone First Year With My Fitness Pal
This week I celebrated my first year with MFP , never done a diet before and found weight hard to lose suffering from arthritis and the inability to exercise to any level. Lost 56 kilo simply by using the plan, eating properly and educating myself on what and what not to eat. Happy birthday to me 🥳

Hi everyone, I’m Jenn!
I’m 47 and live in Texas, where I work as an IT Director for a university. It’s a pretty high-stress job, and I also have ADHD, so finding balance with my health and routine has always been a bit of a challenge. I’m back on MyFitnessPal to focus on me again — though my husband is also on his own fitness journey right now,…
