The Plateau, what did you do to get out of it?
I'm planning ahead for that time when weight loss stops with my regular diet and exercise. I've heard things like workout harder, increase calories slowly, etc.. I'm not quite sure what works. I just remember being there and it was delicate. What did you do to break that plateau or what do you plan on doing?

Burning 1700 Calories a Day -> Still no Results
I'm looking for some advice. I walk dogs for a living and usually average about 35,000 steps and cycle between 15-36km a day (at about 22km/hr). That's about 1700 calories a day burned (according to google) + my metabolic rate, which my scale says is about 1300 a day. Even though I'm being quite careful with my diet on top…

Weight loss while breastfeeding
It feels so much harder to lose weight while breast feeding. I’m the type of person where out of sight out of mind works best, so when I work in losing weight, what works good for me is avoiding eating until much later in the day. Breast feeding, however, you don’t eat enough calories, it hurts your supply, not eating…

Macros for dummies
Hey there! I just started with MyFitnessPal and signed up for it to tell me my macro info. Here's a few things I've run into today: - I don't think I'm going to use all of the allotted calories...I'm not supposed to eat all of those if I'm not hungry for them, right? - Same kind of deal with the macro counter. If I'm not…

Hopeless bingeing
I was doing so well, and had been at my goal weight for a little while (5ft, 105-110lbs) after losing at 0.5lbs/wk. Then binging hit. I've been having really horrible peanut butter binges. My roommates won't stop buying peanut butter because it really is a staple in my current living situation (fair enough). After about 2…

The Slow Creep
Hi all, in 2020 I lost ~40 lbs logging food and through regular exercise. Well, I’m happy to say I’ve maintained the regular exercise which has been great for my mental health and body (and heart too I guess), but I’ve slacked off the logging. I’ve gained almost 10lbs since logging regularly (since about Oct ‘21). I’m sure…

Gabapentin and losing weight
I started taking gabapentin (neurontin) in August for neuropathic pain and since then have found it really hard to lose weight.

I have gained about 30 pounds during Covid and i have been a really sweaty mess. Like i would walk to the train and start sweating or even in room temperature weather if i move around I’ll start sweating. I don’t want to think it’s so serious but sometimes i sweat a lot especially on humid or hot days. I want to know if me…

OMAD and GERD
Last year I took antibiotics for a week following which I started to get the feeling that something was constantly in my throat. It's only got worse over time. I'm constantly drinking water and eating as it provides a minute or two of relief. My doctor thinks I have silent reflux/GERD and prescribed me strong antacids…

No weight loss
Why didn't I loose any weight this weekend? On Sunday I was supposed to be 179lbs but I was 180.4 and decided to weigh myself the next day, and today I'm 181.2lbs. Could it be that I'm retaining water from sodium, because Saturday and Sunday I had way more sodium then I used to have. Or could it be that I get my period in…

After an awful year at work doing ridiculous days and hours and 2 serious injuries I am back in the CC game. I have always had good losses doing 1200cals (mfp recommend) and resumed back to this despite other TDEE calculators giving me 1700+ cals.

Put on weight despite caloric deficit
I’ve put on 2.6lbs within the last 10-12 days despite maintaining a daily caloric deficit of 500 cals. I don’t think it’s muscle as I am severely overweight for my height. I’m beginning to wonder if the science behind calorie counting is flawed and maybe I’m not maintaining a big enough deficit. I log. I weigh my food. I…

How do you track sushi?
I had sushi for lunch. My thought is to just log all the components separately. With all the "fancy" rolls, it's not a matter of a "tuna roll" or "CA roll". I had a green monster roll. So suggestions other than just finding/logging the individual components?

Inaccurate Caloric Count? How does myfitnesspal calculate calories? Am I doing my math wrong?
Facts 1g of Protein = 4 Calories 1g of Carb = 4 Calories 1g of Fat = 9 Calories If these facts are true why is the calorie count wrong on myfitnesspal? According to my input, my caloric total should be (75 x 4) + (49 x 9) + (139 x 4) = 1,297 Calories. NOT 1,073 Calories. My remaining calories should be 3 Calories. Can…
