Breastfeeding and lifting
Hello. I’m totally lost at this point. I have a few pounds of belly fat I’m targeting after my baby was born, I lift 5-6 times a week and cardio 5 days a week. I mostly breastfeed as well. I’m at 1936 calories a day. 500 deficient and I burn about 500 a day. Clearly I’m doing something wrong, I want to loose my last few…

No energy to cook a healthy meal for my self ( My husband is a truck driver so he is not home to eat and my kids still at home are 16 through 19 years old. Old enough to cook…

Tense jaw?

Not doing any specific diet (except cutting down sugar a bit because I'm pre-diabetic), just calorie in calorie out deficit. Anyway, maybe the past week, my jaw has felt tense. It's not painful the way it was when a…

Please kick my butt back into gear
Hi everyone, I've been on MFP for about a year now and have lost nearly 30 lbs. I feel so much better now than I did. In the last few months, though, I have stalled.

Weighed less at night?
OK so the other day I weighed myself in the morning I was 147.4. I wasn't feeling well so barely ate. Only had one slice of toast and some water but very little. I just decided to hop on the scale before my shower at night I was 146.2! Then next day went up exactly 1 pound. So I'm curious was 146.2 just water weight loss?…

Unbalanced fat loss
Is it normal to experience fat loss asymmetrically throughout different places of your body? I am noticing that I have a lot more fat stored under/around my left pectoral (breast) than my right on my chest and also have less fat under left arm than my right. Is this something to be worried about? It is very noticeable in…

Cold weather effects on weight and hunger
Anyone notice the cold weather affecting these things from your experience? Is there any research on this? I don't know if it's psychological or what. But weight loss is not going very well right now. I'm noticably hungrier and the scale seems to be hovering a few lbs higher.

Help! Not hitting my goals! :(
I've been logging my caloric intake for almost a month now but I've barely seen any progress yet. It doesn't really come as a surprise though because I'm almost always over my calorie limit. I'm not necessarily overeating, but I'd say most days I probably end up eating at maintenance, which isn't very effective when you're…
