General energy boost
I have been recording and using my app accurately for the last 7 days and have hit my calorie target most of the time. Enjoying the food and not missing too much. I have cut out most of the carbs, not all. But as the week has gone on I have felt lifeless and have no real energy. I am 63 and working from home so fairly…

Vitamins for a 46 yr old?
46 yr old, former smoker (quit 5 yrs ago), bad knee (need a replacement) so some days are a struggle after working out. Currently I take a Muti Vitamin, Biotin and Vitamin D in the Winter months. Any other suggestions for FDA approved vitamins? I have tried to research this but it gets overwhelming on what I should be…

Is a scale like this RENPHO BMI etc. scale worth getting?
I've only ever used a regular scale, and never had my BMI properly checked. As I get closer to my target weight, I was wondering if I should upgrade to something like this, so I can better track progress rather than only looking at weight. This rechargeable scale costs a bit more than the battery version, and I think I'd…

Working Night Shift
So I have been on nights for a few months now and am having trouble maintaining a consistent schedule as far as meal prepping and hitting the gym. Does anyone have any tips or tricks they use while on nights? Also do you reset your MFP at midnight or log everything you eat that night for the previous day?

How much fiber everyday?
Hi guys! Does anyone have an idea of what is a healthy amount of fiber in grams to eat everyday, for a middle-aged female? Any tips on high fiber foods that won't cause digestive distress and bloating? Wheat, barley or oats are off my menu, but if you have any good ideas, I am all ears and right now also feeling like all…

Bad Labs on annual physical

Vacation
My husband and I are traveling to Key West for the first time in a few days. I want to enjoy my vacation, but I also don't want to gain a lot of weight. Prior to Covid we traveled 2-3 times a year, but this is our first time going on a week long vacation since December, 2019. I'm a bit nervous as I'm leaning towards taking…

Counting calories when you make a family sized meal.
Years ago I was cooking for my mom and I and it was easy to log my meals. My weightloss calories were the same as her maintance. I could just double the serving size and split it in a half. (I used a scale for accuracy) Now I moved in with my fiance. And he's a big fit guy who works our and has an active job. Feeding our…

Would eating more help?
I’m 45 5’8” 167lbs. Trying to lose 10lbs which was easy to maintain for years when I was free form dancing a couple times a week. Then 2 years ago after getting married I started eating refined carbs like my husband and I gained almost 15lbs!! I’ve quit all of that now. I work out with yoga, barre, and high rep low weights…

Lean body mass loss and setting end goals - female endomorph
I've lurked on the forums for awhile and find a lot of inspiration here! I thought I'd share a little about me in hopes someone would have some thoughts on setting weight goals based on lean body mass. I have made a conscious effort not to follow a "diet" or to develop a habitual workout routine (sound weird?), but instead…

Decided to join WW
I decided to join WW because just counting calories in and out wasn't doing it. I know I was going over in calories some days but I was just darn hungry. Will power just doesn't work for me. If I think about it, hunger is supposed to be very uncomfortable and we are hard wired to correct that sensation. If that weren't so,…

Intuitive eating
I didn't specifically start the past month with this idea in mind; my scale simply became a stranger to me and I didn't log calories most days. I ate what I wanted, within definite limits, sticking to many of the usual meals/snacks that I have. I ended up losing 2.5# so I was happily astonished this a.m. Honestly, I don't…

Do you have a functioning uterus?
I never start threads, but I see this come up a lot and wanted to be helpful. Women talking about stalling for 3-4 weeks and calling it a plateau. Your cycle impacts things, it really does. Sometimes a little, sometimes a lot, but hormones absolutely impact scale weight. I only show loss ONCE in a month, for a few days in…

Am I creating a problem?
My SO (significant other) and I went into this fitness journey together way back when. The pandemic happened, and thew us both off. Now we're back in it. However, it started out with him motivating me and pushing me to go to the gym and all that. Now that I actually enjoy working out and am serious about my eating, he is…

adf ..how to eat enough (healthfully) on feast days
Currently (happily) doing ADF (alternate day fasting, 500 cal one day, then ((supposed to)) refeed to TDEE the next, rinse, repeat)..good results so far. :) (most importantly I feel great and am losing weight) My question to anyone doing this... do you have difficulty eating (healthfully) enough on your "feast/refeed"…

Seemingly too many calories to eat back
I’m puzzled about how the calculation works. Seems strange that MFP gives me over 700 calories to eat back for a measly 5000 steps. That can’t be right can it? Am I doing something wrong?

How did I gain 4 kg in less than a week while in a caloric deficit?!!
I have been on a keto diet since mid February and at the beginning of june I had successfully lost 18 kg. I was getting really tired of keto so I had a cheat day, where I was still in a calorie deficit but ate carbs. Now about 4 days later I have gained 4 kg. It was 3 kg yesterday but apparently I gained another kg over…

Weight Loss without Gall Bladder
I used to be healthy and thin. Then I had my gall bladder out. It messed up my digestion and my doctor said that was normal. I don't think so but what do I know? Anyway, after that surgery I gained weight and I can't seem to budge my weight loss. The doctors say that weight gain isn't from the surgery or missing a gall…

More than one way to skin a cat
Some of the recent posts on here regarding different diets and approaches got me thinking. Not to mention the many posts on attitude, discipline, motivation, and willpower. I think we can all agree that the "secret" to losing fat is to create a calorie deficit over a period of time. Seems simple enough, right? Ah.. but…
