I Have A Weight Goal

@Doomflower I would love a fitness friend!! I need to lose weight for my dreams and future career..if you could be my fitness friend that would be great thanks!

@Gabii00 message me any time! I often wander off doing activities during the day but I come back eventually!

What kind of experience have you had with weight loss and fitness? Have you had problems with obesity in the past? How tall are you?

A piece of advice I wish I had listened to is to take lots of progress pics. It sucks at first but a year from now you will be blown away!!!

Thank you so much! I've been big since I was little, even though I was and still am a active person It always seems I can never actually lose anything. I swim, dance and even played rugby and went on all diets but I was still over weight-_-

I'm 5.5ft

I'll start the photo progress right away! Thanks for that!

@Doomflower @Gabii00 I’ve been using the app, My Fitness Pal daily for nearly two years and it’s life changing. Takes a bit of work to get going but once you do your diet, exercise and weight loss really start to make sense.

@Gabii00 no troubles bubbles!

@SW-User Does it really work? If I were to use it do you think I'll be able to lose weight? Do you think it will be able to keep on a deit and exercise plan for a while? that's what I struggle with the most...is sticking to the plan, as I get bored easily.

@SW-User I LOVE MFP. I've only ever used the free version. Did you upgrade or no?

@Doomflower I’ve just stuck with the free version and it’s great. Not sure what the paid version gives you.

@Gabii00 If you are patient enough to set it up correctly then it really does work. I was skeptical at first but it does. And even if you don’t stick to it, at least you can see exactly what your eating too much of and how much your exercise contributed. But it’s free and does have a couple of downsides that are worth understanding. The main one is that the food you lookup has all been put there by other users so some is ver accurate while others isn’t, so at first you may have to compare it to some nutritional websites. You can also enter your own too or modify incorrect entries. If you also get the phone app you can scan the bar codes on packaged foods for instant nutritional info :). You also need to weigh some items of food at first to get an idea. So like I weigh my soup ingredients the first time I made it. But now have it saved as a favourite. So once you get past the setting up and a few days of use it becomes really easy. I love it!

@SW-User Thank you! This is really helpful😀

@Gabii00 Good luck with it and if you decide to use the app, feel free to ask any questions about it :)

@SW-User Thank you! Will do.
