My Health Is Failing at 26
At age 24, I was around 210lbs, actively in the gym and on the field for work. I enjoyed good muscle growth and a shifting physique. I felt great and was moving well. At 26, after having been promoted to the office life and moving out, I am 250lbs and no longer fit in my clothes. My life has fallen apart healthwise, and I…

Feel like I have to starve to lose weight
I am almost 60, active (truly-I live in CO-lots of walking, hiking, gardening, and I do treadmill and strength training, too). I cook 95% of my meals (80% healthy). I am 5' 3.5" tall and weigh 150 (mostly around my belly). The only way I can lose anything is to limit my calories to 1000 per day (or less). I work in a…

Finally hit more than 3 stone lost since June 🎉
To be honest, I’ve been focusing on my mental health — it’s taken a hit with cancer & everything that’s happened, plus the aftermath of surgeries and post-op complications — so this feels huge. Happy to finally see the scales move past 3 stone, but the hard work starts now. Time to knuckle down and keep going — another 6+…

10 pounds
Ugh. 10 pounds. Through problems at work, other issues going on and whatnot, I let it go and gained 10 pounds over 6 months. We all have done it at some point or another. Now it's just facing it down and buckling down again for the next 6 months. 😒 But it'd be nice to just keep ignoring reality🤣

Appetite suppressant medication
My medical wt loss clinic put me on a low (8 mg) dose of Lomaira (phentermine) to jumpstart weight loss and help tame hunger cravings. Internist says ok, but not forever. I’ve cut back coffee to a single cup/day. The biggest impact has been not getting up to eat in the middle of the night — very welcome. During the day I…

What is going on??
hello MFP community!

How do calorie deficits work?
I've been searching for the answer endlessly. I currently sit at 5'8, 221 pounds. I am obese, but luckily proportional. If I didn't exercise, I would need to eat 1,990 calories a day, because to maintain my weight, I would need 2490. This creates a 500 calorie deficit. Fitbit tracks the calories I burn, I think both…

Yield, please explain
I am struggling to understand the yield in recipes. Why does it ask me to cook 5 servings if I'm only meant to eat one? Fair, the meal repeats next day so I could two but why 5?

Gotta get back on target!!!
I'm ready for a major comeback! I used to be a super-fit marathon runner at my target weight, but life—especially becoming a parent 8 years ago—led to a change. I'm currently about 42 lbs (3 stone) overweight and have definitely slowed down (though the 10k distance is still there!). I'm focused on getting back on track and…
