Bouncing back after loss
Hi all I started mfp in Jan 2017. I flew through the process with a loss of 6 st and 4lbs. In November 2017, my dad was diagnosed with cancer and although I tried to remain focused, I didn't. In Feb 2018, dad fell asleep after finishing his treatment five days before hand and didn't wake. It was sudden and unexpected.…

I didn't come this far to stop now
Hey! My names Jo. Been here since the end of January of this year and I have lost just over 5 stone. Past few weeks have been a little challenging. I stopped counting calories and I am not exercising as much. I have been changing jobs and I let that be an excuse to go off track. Hopped up on the scales and I have put on…

198 days; minus 72lbs (photos included)
Hey all I am not done yet but I wanted to share my progress to date. I found the success stories section helped keep me inspired throughout. I started January 27th 2017. I began calorie counting and walking a small bit each day. I gradually increased my walking and when I had lost about two and a half or three stone, I…

Fitbit exercise help
Hi, I am using mfp and fitbit. Should I log strength training and swimming into my fitness pal or fitbit. If I put it into either, do they link up? When i have logged it into fitbit in the past, it doesn't go onto mfp and I don't see a change in calories from when my fitbit last synced. Thanks in advance

Warning about strength training
It can lead to severe embarrassment....Today after a full body work out with my personal trainer, I decided to bring my dogs for a walk. 6pm, rush hour traffic on the road. You probably know where this is going. I was sore prior to leaving the house (arms, back and shoulders were weak). Anyways, another dog approaches…

Wow!!!!

Should I slow it down?
Hi, Just looking for your opinions. 61 days in, and a loss of 2st 3lbs. Weigh in tomorrow. Is this too quick? Approx 1000-1300 calories per day. Don't eat back exercise calories. I can burn between 400-1000 per day (don't know if the calories in map my walk is accurate). Bloods checked a few weeks back as I did get sick…

I have Shingles
Hey, So iv just been diagnosed with shingles. Exercise has had to stop as a result. I'm still committed to eating within my calorie limit. I doubt that will be a problem. Iv lots and lots and lots of meds. Anyone have it before and continue with mfp? Any advice/recommendations. Thanks

Why now?
What's your reason for losing weight now? I'v tried most diets in the past and gave up. But now something is different. I'm in the zone. Can't explain why. I just am. This is it. I'm over a month in and I am so motivated. Pushing myself daily. I'm enjoying my food and the exercise is something I'd struggle not doing. 36…

How is your appetite after exercise
I don't have an appetite after working out. I walked this morning and all day I don't feel hungry. I am ensuring I eat 1200. Anyone else feel the same?
