Hitting a plateau? Let’s talk about what actually works
I see a lot of people hitting sticking points, you’re training hard, eating well, but the scale or mirror isn’t moving. I’m curious how do you deal with plateaus in your fitness journey? • Do you increase volume, change exercises, or tweak nutrition? • Have you tried anything that actually broke through a plateau? Let’s…

Scale wont budge.
I am frustrated.....I am in a calorie deficit every day, eating protein, low carb most days, daily exercise. Based on my intake and output I should be losing at least 1- 1 & 1/2 lbs a week. Some weeks 2 lbs. Scale is not moving at all for a couple weeks. In fact it went up about a pound and a half. My typical day has about…

Add Day Start Time Adjustment
By now start time adjustment is a feature in almost every tracking app, and with MFP being the #1 most popular I’m highly surprised it doesn’t have the option yet. I’ve seen threads about it on Reddit dating back over 5 years, yet night shift workers (like myself) are still scrolling back to the previous day to make sure…

Middle aged and looking to FINALLY crack my addiction to salty junk food
I'm V, middle aged and am absolute junk food addict - particularly salty snacks. It is about time I tackled my addiction and focused on my health and weight. I am not new to the weight loss rodeo, or MFP but it has been many years since I have been able to commit to a healthy lifestyle and it sort of feels like 'now or…

Struggling to lose weight after a history of disordered eating (content warning)
Hello, I am a 20 y/o female, 155cm/5'1, 53.5kg/118lbs. I suffered from anorexia when I was 16 to just under 18, and weighed about 90-100lbs.

Week 1 of Intermittent Fasting
I am 383 Lbs and on Mounjaro. I started at 420 in the beginning of the year. I follow a low-carb diabetic diet to support my Type 2 husband.

D) Other I'm usually B, like Boar's Head says: "Compromise elsewhere". But being a (10years) recovering alcoholic/ addict I know how my…

Best resource for customized recipes: ChatGPT
AI has been a game changer for me on my wellness journey. I have used it to create gluten-free vegetarian recipes, high-protein recipes, and low-calorie snacks. It's an amazing tool for dietary restrictions—my sister uses it for her son that has a special diet. One of my favorite things about using it is that I can tell it…

Add check boxes in daily tracking
Hi! I think it would be SO helpful if you guys could add check boxes to the daily diary. I pre-track my food for the day but I also have ADHD so sometimes I forget if I have eaten or drank everything I've tracked. Just a very small example, like I might track two string cheeses but I don't want both at the same time. I can…

My little diet experiment
Hello everyone! Some time ago, I conducted a small experiment to understand how dietary fiber affects satiety, the development of gut microbiota (the community of microorganisms in the intestines), and their influence on blood glucose "spikes," as gut bacteria participate in digesting up to 80% of food. To briefly…

Fitness challenges
