Plateaued and don’t know why
I need help. I’ve been logging every morsel, exercising a TON, drinking lots of water, meeting or being just under my calorie goal for 3 weeks and the last week I actually gained a pound. What the heck? I’ve lost 4 overall. I know that sounds good but gaining back a pound is so discouraging. Can anyone here tell me why…

Zero Carb eating
Zero Carb ( ZC ), is not really 0 carbs. I get some carbs from eggs. So 0-5 grams of carbs. I see Keto posts, and other forms of low carb spoken about, but not this way of eating. So I felt I would post, and see if anyone else eats this way, and also post about my food, and results. I understand this isn't for everyone.…

Use tape to measure body
I was wondering if there was anywhere in the MyFitnessPal app that will let me record my body measurements to track my progress when the scale is not moving. Or does anyone use a different app or spreadsheet for that?

1700 calories remaining after already consuming my goal??
I’ve set my goal to maintain my 72kg at the moment. I’ve entered a Very Active lifestyle as I’m a tiler (manual labour). So I’m eating roughly my recommended 3000 calories. One massive problem though.. I class my job as my cardio so I managed to find vigorous cleaning in the exercise list (similar to my job) and selected 8…

Naturally Slim Program
My husband's employer has offered us the Naturally Slim program at no charge, and we decided to give it a try. We just completed week 1 and I must say, it is giving me conflicted feelings. For anyone wondering, the program is meant to retrain the way you eat and behave around food. Essentially you chew slowly, eat only one…

I Never Thought I Would Cry About It
WOW, I am just about back where I started in 2012 at 43, 5'2" and 244 lbs. At one point I just wanted to feel better and be off all medication. I saw myself turning in to my mother and that was not what I wanted at all. I started slow and while at times is was super hard by the end at 158 lbs from a size 20 to a 2/4 I felt…

how long can you go between weigh ins when trying to lose weight?
This may be a better topic for debate, but it really is related to weight loss. I've lost/regained/lost/regained a couple times in the past, and am really trying to analyze what went wrong previously. Part of it is I get *too* obsessed with what my weight is, either get way too restrictive because the weight is not coming…

Will this break my fast?
Hello there :) I just recently started Keto and I drink this in the morning. I wasn’t sure if it was considered to break my fast. I’ve heard multiple views but most say if under 50 calories then you should be fine. It’s a drink with chia seeds in it.

Over calories for day. Now what?
What is your approach to higher calorie days? Not talking about a major binge, but those times when meal planning fell by the wayside and you're "out" of calories after lunch? Are you done eating for the day? Do you exercise to earn some back? Just eat a reasonable dinner and get on with it? Just curious what others do.

Which number is net calories?
I've been on MFP for years, but this is something I never really noticed. On my home page above my news feed, there's a running count of the calories I've used for the day. If you add exercise calories, it keeps track of that too. For example, yesterday it said 1813- 665 exercise calories=1148 net calories. On my food…

Renpho Scale Accuracy??
Hi guys, I bought a renpho scale to get back on track, but I was wondering how accurate it is. My BMI is overweight at 27, but it estimates my muscle mass to be 118 lbs and body fat to only be 24%? Does this sound right? I honestly don’t take much stock in BMI, I just want to feel healthy.

Fitbit Calorie Allowance
Can anyone help me with something please ? Ive recently upgraded to a Fitbit Sense from a Charge 2. I'm not sure if that's relevant but my calorie allowance has gone completely wrong. For example, my daily allowance is 1700 calories, which if I stay within will give me a loss of 1.5lbs per week. That's all good and has…
