Force for Forging Fitter Friends (My Fitness Pal)

connorbush thought this was worth mentioning said Tue, Nov 17th 2015 at 11:09am ET

Wow. Many of us sit for more than twelve hours per day--that is a morbid realization.

Our mehmbers have crafted communities for music, fantasy football, charity, and hobbies far and wide... Let us forge a forum for fitness!

I just re re re re installed My Fitness Pal (wow @connorbush, you fail quite a bit) and I believe that I (we) can be successful so long as we struggle together.

Come, join me on the adventure toward a more fit figure.

My Fitness Pal is a jerk and won't allow me to change my username. I am shogunbush find me, creep on me, join me. I gained 60 lbs over the past couple of years. If nothing else, come cheer me on as I lose those lbs. You would be cooler if you joined me.

I may take you up on this. I used to use MFP but got away from it. At one point I had lost 50 lbs but over the past few years I found them. Ski season is upon us and I truly need to get back into shape. Assuming I return to MFP I'll look you up.

I use My Fitness Pal. Same username. On the weekends, I get really lazy and just add 8000 calories instead of adding what I ate.

The only reason I joined Planet Fitness was for the cupcakes and free pizza night.

I'm getting a Fitbit (or whatever) for Christmas, but I've been going to the gym for over a year. I've gained muscle weight but didn't lose any fat :(

Changing my diet is my next mission.

I'll join you in our quest to live forever!

PlacidPenguin said Tue, Nov 17th 2015 at 6:50pm ET:

Sigh...

All these incentives to help people lose weight, what about those of us who want to GAIN weight?

Then again, I DID see a commercial advertising a drink to help people gain weight.

Still, I don't like using a fitness app which I have just because it's the opposite of where I want to go, and my Android Wear device doesn't really help me either in this respect. 😭😭😭

- @FroodyFrog I think you can set a gaining weight goal.

- @FroodyFrog Similar routine, really - the goal is to get to and maintain a healthy weight. If you need to gain to do that - make that your goal and go for it! Lament your non-gain weeks like people lament stalls! Celebrate your gains when others celebrate their losses. Join in and make it work for you.
