Do I need a "rest"?
I do Pilates every day, and a friend told me I need a "rest" day in between, so should only be doing every other day. Pilates works the entire body and I always feel great afterward and not fatigued. There are some days I push myself a lot harder and will be sore the next day but I still do it daily. Should I listen to my…

MFP not connecting with Google fit?
It's always worked in the past but all of a sudden MFP is not getting me exercise or steps from Google fit? I don't get it, I didn't change anything and both say they should be. I did 14,000 steps at work alone that is not showing up on MFP. Now I just deleted both and re-added so maybe that will fix it. Thanks for why…

I have been on MFP for awhile, but also did Spark, which is now closing the site in few months.
For about two years I have been logging my food and fitness on MFP and it has been good for me. I was on Spark also and WW too. I am ending with Spark since they are closing the site....Will miss the people but some may join us here. The motivation on Spark was excellent for 11 years for me. I am hoping to get that…

Best body ever!
Good morning, good afternoon and good evening fellow fitties! So, I have recently escaped an abusive relationship in which I was force fed and discouraged from attending the gym, resulting in a three stone weight gain.

Guys I have a question about the MFP Daily Calorie Target.
Hi all. So I've been using MFP for just over 2mths now and, combined with exercise, have dropped just over 11kg. It's going really well, and I'm actually enjoying the lifestyle adjustment along with the learnings that come from counting calories. The last couple of weeks though I've noticed my weight-drop start to slow.…

Over Fat Allowance
I have been doing pretty well and documenting my foods. Today I had avocado toast for breakfast and at lunch I had a Caesar salad with about a six to an 8 ounce portion of salmon on top. I normally do not go over my fat allowance I need to be more mindful of when I eat salmon and when I have the avocado toast? At least…

MFP with Fitbit Sync and tachycardia (fast HR)
I sync my fitbit charge 4 with MFP. I seem to be getting an absurd amount of exercise calories. I *think* fitbit believes I'm burning more calories or exercising at a higher intensity than I really am because I have a faster HR than average. I'm 5'5 at 181, with a goal of 140. I'm set to lightly active, and .5 lb per week…

Vacation
I see a lot of threads about this, finally get to post one! 🙂 🌲 I'm going to a resort in the national park, I get a floating (on the lake) cabin for 5 days. It's off the grid, there's no phone reception, no internet, no TV, the rooms don't have screens. All there is to do for entertainment is talk to people. 🙂 When they…

Is it true people who lose weight have a much lower metabolism
I read somewhere that weight loss causes our metabolic rate to slow down so much so that it is a factor for why people regain the weight they lose. Is this true?

Why are you on a diet, you're skinny already!? Why…

How important are rest days?

An example of a week for me would be: lower body on Monday, core on Tuesday, upper body on Wednesday, core on Thursday, lower body on Friday, upper body on Saturday, and…

I'm getting careless
It's been a *kitten* month diet wise. I've eaten a lot of junk food and lost my focus on my goal. I was doing very well in April and May and had come out of 80s(kg) to 79 kg. I workout a lot and sometimes eat only salad for dinner but still the scale isn't moving. I'm so depressed. How do I get back to it?? :'(

New Study “What to Eat to Look Younger”
I just ran acrost this, and thought it was very interesting. I have already incorporated much of this into my new dietary habits after joining MFP. But the positive reinforcement is welcome, and I’m killin’ it in some categories. I really do feel much, much younger, though I’m sure the ninety pounds of weight lost, better…

No big fluctuations - Is it normal?
Hey guys, I read everywhere that big fluctuations up to 7lbs are to be expected when weighing yourself daily. I have been doing it every morning for months and even now that I have done a maintenance break I haven't seen any big fluctuations at all. The weight will go up and down slightly by 0.1-1kg / 0.5lbs-2lbs max, but…
