A MyFitnessPal Group is a place where members connect over shared interests, such as weight loss or certain diets. You can join discussions, offer support and tips, ask questions, and help build a community. Each group has three roles: Group Owner, Group Leader, and Member.
A MyFitnessPal Group is a place where members connect with others who have similar interests, goals, or challenges. Each group focuses on a theme like weight loss, running, recipes, motivation, specific diets, or lifestyle topics. Group members help moderate these spaces and can make them private or open to all MyFitnessPal members, which helps build a strong community.
Groups make it easier to find people like you on MyFitnessPal. If you are looking for motivation, accountability, or simply a place to talk with others on a similar journey, groups can help.
In a group, members can do the following:
- Join discussions about topics related to the group's focus
- Share tips, experiences, and support with other members
- Ask questions and get feedback from people who have similar goals
- Build a community based on shared interests or journeys
General information about group roles:
Each group has three different roles: Group Owner, Leader(s), and Members.
- Group Owner: The owner is the person who created the group. They have the same permissions as a Leader, but their status cannot be removed by others. Only one person can own a group, and this cannot be changed or transferred after setup. The owner can add or remove group leader status at any time, and can approve or remove members whenever needed.
- Group Leader: Leaders are members who have extra permissions to help manage a group. They can manage members, approve join requests, edit group settings, and manage posts within that group.
- Member: This is the standard role for users in the community. In a group, members can access content and join discussions. For private or secret groups, a leader or owner must approve their request to join or invite them. Members do not have any management or moderation abilities in the group.
All content shared in Groups must follow our Community Guidelines, just like in other parts of MyFitnessPal. Please follow both the general and group-specific guidelines to help keep our community safe and welcoming.
