Not losing weight in 3 weeks!
Thank you for reading I am calorie counting bc evidence proves that's the basics. I'm a binge eater and 30 lbs overweight. For over 3 weeks I have lowered my calories to an average of 1400. It has been very very difficult. I have lost 1lb. It was probably water weight! I dont exercise much bc of physical limitations. What…

Advice would be very much appreciated.
I'm 63, 158lbs and 5ft 2ins, and I would like to lose about 20lbs. Going by various TDEE sites I should burn around 1470 per day when sedentary, (which I think I lean towards). When I return to work in a few weeks, I'm currently WFH, I'll start to do a 30minute walk 5 days a week. Are these calories, (once I have deducted…

DASH diet for HBP
Hello! Like many other folks, I've grown up with a bigger body and family history of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes. While I'm still avoiding the diabetes for now, I have pretty high cholesterol and HBP (consistently 150/100's), and my doc just put me on medications for both of these (atorvastatin and…

FRUSTRATED
Hello, I have been on a 2500cal food plan using the intermittent 16/8 window. I have been strict in my following my 2500 and ONLY eating clean. I have a job wherein I easily clock up 15000 steps. I log all my food and timings via the app diary and I only weigh myself once a week. I am frustrated because everytime I…

Help me pick my meal
Ok, I know the answer to my question is that I should eat what makes me happy, etc. etc., but I have recently returned from a 3 week vacation where I gained about 7 pounds (and I waited a week to weigh myself so it wouldn't just reflect water gain) and I am trying to do a little damage control to get back to goal and back…

Does anyone know about Thyroid levels?
I recently just had my thyroid tested, online. My T3 and T4 are right in the middle, like exactly. But my TSH seems a little low? It's a 1.21. But normal is 0.27-4.2 But I'm closer to the lower end of ''normal'' than right in the middle. Do you think that makes a difference? My family has had thyroid and always told me to…

But is it water??
Logging water intake is important to make sure you are getting the amount you need daily. I’ve logged this on and off for years and found I was much more successful logging, especially when my goal is 1 gallon per day. The question I’ve always had, but never really asked……if you put a pre-workout powder in a bottle of…

One for the: I can't seem to lose weight collection
Most of you here know me. You know I know how CITO works and I've been logging thoroughly with a scale for years and lost and maintained weight. I have a good idea what my daily calorie need is, and it's a wee bit above what MFP gives me. I know about water weight of course. When I'm depressed I have a tendency to gain…

Noisy knees
I’m wondering if anyone else has no noisy knees without any knee problems. When I squat, my knees make noise — mostly a popping - crunching - crackling sound. I have no pain or discomfort before, during or after. Just noise. I haven’t been concerned about it because of no pain. If I squat with my knees pointing outward (…

Calorie deficit confusion
I’m not sure I’ve been doing this right. I used an app which based on my weight etc to lose weight I should be eating 1300 calories a day. I’ve been leaving at least 500 each day on this but not sure I’m eating enough. Should I be eating the full 1300?

Help me understand this calorie adjustment?
I recently (a month or so ago) switched my settings to sedentary and turned on the calorie adjustment feature. Here is what it is showing me for today, and it’s not making much sense to me. I don’t have food logged because we were camping at a state park and I didn’t have enough service for MFP to function and we are just…

Calories during pregnancy
Hello, I've started pregnancy 4-5lb overweight, which isn't the worst but I'm worried about gaining too much. Would it be okay to eat at a slight deficit, setting calories at losing 1/2lb a week at sedentary? I'm relatively active, go on 30min walks most days and do body pump one-two times a week. Obviously most important…

How many calories should I be eating...
I know this questions gets asked A LOT, but here it is... Several years ago I used MFP and lost 150 pounds. Then I ended up with hypothyroid and gained about half of it back before it got diagnosed and my meds got to the right levels. Now that I'm feeling better, I need to get back to where I was. I've tried to look back…

PSA: Warm Weather
There are often comments on here that someone can't do anything outside because it's "too hot". We are still in Spring in the Northern Hemisphere. If one starts moving around outside now the likelihood is good that in a month so when it starts getting "hot" you will have some acclimation to the heat and it won't be an…

Plateau question - adding exercise - do I eat those calories?
Hello, So I have hit a plateau and I am going to start adding in exercise I think, do I change my settings in the app itself or just add exercise manually .. does it make sense to eat those if I have hit a plateau? I feel like at 277 pounds 1580 calories is already a bit low? Maybe I'm wrong? ugh.

Overnight Shifts and Logging Food
Hi everyone! I’m curious to see how other people who do overnights, track food in the app. Mostly as far as timing of meals. I work a per diem job where I do some overnight shifts (4pm-9am) and I log what I eat on those shifts as “overnight foods” in my diary. For example if I work a shift that goes Tuesday into Wednesday…

Can't stop gaining weight, or am I?
Sorry of this becomes too much of a book, I seem to have a lot of conflicting information that has become just so very confusing. For starters, I'm male, now 57, 6'4", currently 230ish. My goal weight is something less than 210, depending on which Dr you ask. And yes, I weigh every darned thing I eat. The short version is:…

Berberine
Anyone have any experience with the Berberine supplement? What brand is good, if it is worth even trying. I heard it helps lower cholesterol, sugar, and gives energy. I am having trouble with high cholesterol. I think it may be hereditary.
