HELP! My 30's are doing me dirty!
Hello from a total weightloss noobie! I am extraordinarily lucky. I have always been able to eat whatever I wanted without gaining weight. I could eat candy, burgers, beer, all the things without having to worry about it. I was livin' life and fancy free. Until now. I turned 30 last year, and it was like my body was done…

Mighty (not munchy) May - accountability thread
So! A period of digital social distancing needs to come to an end. Too much side effect that started accumulating at my sides over the last few months, and I will not tolerate any further Corona-belly situation. Here it goes, for those unfamiliar with the idea: State what your goal is for the month and keep track. Daily,…

Looking for motivational friends
Hi, Having used this place previously, I am back as bad habits have begun to creep back in. I don't want to undo all of my hard work, particularly at a time where staying in good health is more important than ever. I'm 36, enjoy regular cardio (mainly long walks but also cycling), and intend on sticking to a regular…

Curious to know from you all...
Would you drop or increase your goal weight within a healthy weight range just because of the natural shape/ size of a specific body part? I got criticized a lot especially from families for my maintenance weight (ranged 52-54 kg at 166 cm). My original goal when I was in my early 20s was 55 kg while only doing cardio. Now…

New member who realised she can't do this alone
Hi! I'm new to the community, but not tracking and fitness. I've been counting calories for a few years now and I weigh 134lbs (61kg) and want to get down to 121lbs (55kg) (I'm 5'6'' or 165cm). My problem is that I stick to a 1600 cal regimen 5 or 6 days a week and then I fall off track when I'm hanging out with friends…

Pudding math problem
Hi! I'm super frustrated with the nutritional values put on a "instant pudding powder" package (see image). It states its nutritional value is based on the prepared pudding. Aka per 100 grams of prepared pudding (not just the powder). But they specifically state the recipe is with semi-skimmed milk. Now, I make this with…

Online menu planner that works with MyFitnessPal?
Hello - I am trying to find a diet plan that already has the meals and shopping list created for me. Even better if the meal plans are seasonally based, in order to take advantage of fresh produce. Something that adjusts to the number of calories I need to eat per day and allows for restrictions such as no dairy.…

Need Some Encouragement
For some reason I've been feeling really inadequate lately.. maybe because of social isolation. I need some encouragement to continue eating well and working out to stay healthy. I am 5'7" and 23 years old, and started off grad school lifting heavy weights and at 140 lb. I am now at 127 lb, and I feel like some of it was…

Do you follow a diet plan besides CICO?
I've been doing some research (not weight loss related) about how a low-carb diet can have some great benefits for those of us with TBI/RHI symptoms. While all my "bumps" are older (most recent was 2013), I have some mild side effects - they don't control my life, but they do affect it. I've done a paleo diet for a time in…

Eating Disorder/Self-Sabotage
Ladies I’m having a problem and I’m hoping some of you have been here and can lend some advice. I have been an overeater my whole life but I didn’t start binge eating until I was about 28 years old. This was when my daughter’s dad and I parted ways and I moved into an apartment with my daughter. When he would come pick her…

Losing weight and gaining muscle?
Hello, This may seem like a silly question, but as someone who has struggled with disordered eating for almost my entire life, I want to make sure that I get valid information from a place and people I trust. I am wanting to ditch some of the extra weight that I have on me and work on gaining some muscle and strength, but…

Question
I have a question for everyone, I am 44 years old and I need some guidance. I have 30 pounds to lose and really want to reshape my body. Is it better for me to do strength training or cardio?

I'm not sure if I will commit to doing this daily, but I will commit to doing it today: Today's plan: Keep internet time down to 30 minutes (the time I waste internet surfing could be spent doing meal prep, which is why I note this).

Being judged
It's very difficult when I feel that people are judging me because. I want to lose weight. I only want to lose a few pounds, not lots. I just want to feel like I did before, it's not that I think I'm too big, or unheathly, just that I want to feel good again.

How did you choose your "target weight"?
Just curious - how did you decide on your target weight? For me it has to be a balance between feeling fit and healthy BUT still maintaining some curves, I am short and mesomorphic and if I lose too much I feel like I start to look masculine. Also based on the weight I was able to maintain with no effort for many years in…

Slow weight loss!
How does everyone cope with slow weight loss?! I’m talking about 0.5 lb a week. I recently came back from a 10 day vacation and gained 4 lbs. Now I feel like I undid all my hard work for the past 4-5 weeks. Some fat and water weight. At this rate I won’t see much progress which makes it harder for me to stick to it. Should…

Menopower!: Seeking friends...
I'm post-menopausal and I'm seeking other "menopowered" women (pre, in, post) as friends. I've looked at my food diary and while I'm generally staying within my caloric range, it is by eating Halo, peanut butter, rice cakes...not choices which will give me the best nutrition. I'm hoping that some peer support will…

Support please
Periodically I reevaluate how supportive my friends really are on here. When I bother to post something on my feed (which isn’t often) do they offer “atta girl”s or a kick in the pants? Are they active themselves? Etc. The answer was no to all of those things and more. Mostly all I saw was their achievement in calories…
