Can I realistically reach my glute/toning goals at home with dumbbells up to 15kg?
I’m a 27 y/o woman, 157cm tall, currently 51kg. My main goal is glute growth — aiming for a 7–12cm increase (from ~93cm hips to around 100–105cm), plus overall toning and some upper body definition.

Hello and greetings to you all
Hi I just signed up a few days ago. I like how the app records / tracks what I eat. It helps keep me accountable for what I consume. I normally mindlessly graze on snacks throughout the day so mindfully writing everything down is a big help. I have experienced both dramatic weight loss and gain in recent years due to…

Calorie count for weightlifting
I don’t know why there’s a section that includes lifting weights and a selection of what the exercises are, only to get to the bottom and have it say N/A. I work out hard resistance training and it’s not just cardio that results in weight loss. For decades we’ve known this. You can get the same results with weight training…

How do I find people more local to me?
Hi, haven't been on in awhile. Came back. How do I find users closer to me? Do I have to sign up for the premium? I was hoping not to spend more money as I already have a Fitbit membership. Or even add people that will possibly check in with me and send me a message once in a while for encouragement.

The myth of age and weightloss?
I saw a post about being older and it being harder to lose weight and easier to gain.

My question... is all else the same: When i was a kid I played games and sports all day. When i was a teen I played games…

Heavy LT
not the best look to be a heavy LT. Want to lose approx 30-50 lbs. I lift very regularly (4-5 days per week) in the morning (around 6 PST). Working out hasn’t been too difficult, but nutrition is what gets me (big time volume eater). I’d love to get more consistent for meal planning.

Does strong pain medication influence weight gain?
Hi MyFitnessPal Community I started tracking my weight and my daily food in August 2014. At the end of 2018, I had lost 25% of my original weight of 97 kgs or 24 kgs. To say I was thrilled is an understatement!! I loved watching the downward trend in the progress chart. However in 2020, an old back injury came roaring back…

Will eating late at night make me gain weight?
I have a busy day and don’t really have time to eat I mainly have some caffeine and a small snack. I make up for my calories, proteins, etc at dinner time.
