Fat?!
I've lost some weight but now all of a sudden my fat seems a hell of lot squiggier than it was. I've still got a long way to go but why is it so squiggy now or is it just in my head?

Feeling (Somewhat) Validated
I know there are so many excuses for gaining weight. I thought one of mine was "so many of my medications have weight gain as a side effect." Since none of my doctors ever addressed it, I thought it was just me excuse-hunting or blame shifting. Then, today I saw a counselor and we were talking about so many things that…

Any ditched the fitness trackers? Any regrets?
I've been through the majority of them over the past 5-6 years, everything from Fitbit to Garmin to Apple. Made the decision last week that I really don't need to track everything and I don't need notifications for everything. Went back to my G-Shock and it feels so freeing to be honest. Accuracy of them is somewhat…

Before/After measurements and pictures
I'm upset with myself that I didn't think of documenting my pre-MFP measurements or even taking a "before" picture for comparison reasons. I asked my husband if he has a picture of me in his phone from before I started keeping track of my calories and he replied, "No....because you always yell at me for taking your picture…

App and Website Diary Not Syncing?
Anyone else having issues with food diary on app versus website? They’re not in sync. I usually enter food plans several days in advance and then adjust them as I go along.

Help with my diet
Hello everyone! I’m new to counting calories and trying to be in a calorie deficit. My question may be dumb but I just wanna make sure I count my calories right. So, is there the same amount of calories in cooked proteins such as fish, chicken, steak and shrimp, that there is in raw proteins? And do I weigh these raw or…

Comments about what I eat
I absolutely HATE it when someone, especially my husband, comments on what I am eating. I know I am super sensitive because, when I was a child, weight was an issue and kids are super mean. When I would eat lunch, they'd say things like "no wonder you are so fat". I was eating a sandwich. Kids can be terrible. Still, I…

Minimum calories and exercise
I know there's a lot of threads on the topic of eating exercise calories, but hopefully this is specific enough to not just be a repeat. In terms of how much of the exercise calories to eat... MFP has a minimum for men of 1500 calories a day. My BMR is about 1900. If I want to lose about 0.5kg per week, that is around a…
