Many Moods
Depression and anxiety have been at it’s worst this past month and it has caused my brain to go to all the junk food. I’ve gained back a few pounds and I know that I’ll burn it off, it is just difficult. How do you fight the temptations to eat junk and fight the darkness?

Dangers of very low calories
I’m curious on everyone’s thoughts on very low calorie diets. I often hear the rhetoric that one shouldn’t go below 1200 calories because it is “dangerous”. If I put aside the valid arguments around eating disorders and proper nutrition (let’s assume one takes multi-vitamins to supplement), wouldn’t the energy balance…

My 600lb Life
So My 600lb life came up recently in a thread and I see a few folks on these message boards watch the show. I watch the show. One thing I have wondered is why does Dr. Now start them on such an extreme deprivation? I assume it's because they are in such bad shape that they need to just sustain their life functions and…

Should I throw my scales in the trash?
This morning I weighed myself (upon waking, going to the bathroom and stripping down) and I'd put on a pound. I had a doctors appointment this morning and she weighed me, after my breakfast and with clothes on and I weighed 4 pounds lighter according to her scales. Should I throw my cheap kmart scales in the trash and buy…

Which impacted your diet more Watching Carbs or Watching Proteins or Calories
This a poll because I have seen answers all over the place with respect to this on my MFP. And was just wondering what the overall consensus is. And what the reasoning is behind your choice. I know there are avid Keto folks, and Avid Paleo folks. And many other diets, so please humor me. I am not going to taint the results…

Been at a plateau for almost 3 months now
So I've been trying to lose weight for about a year now. I started in February of 2020 at a starting weight of 271 and have recently weighed in at 199. Problem is, I've been stuck around the 199-202 range for about 3 months now. I don't live a very active lifestyle. I'm in school, so I spend most of my time sitting at a…

Fasting for religious purposes
I periodically fast for 24 hours for religious purposes. The Food Diary will not allow me to log out for the day with so few calories. Don't want to break my logging streak, but do want to observe this religious belief. Is there is a way around this conflict?

thick thighs versus saddlebags
So... this came up as a general debate today. There was no malice behind it, it as just opinion. I mentioned it to a few friends that I had been seeing a personal trainer. While I have definitely accomplished some re-comp, my overall shape hasn’t changed. As ou can see from the picture below, my thighs are not thin. there…

Intermittent Fasting Question
Does anyone know a lot about intermittent fasting because I have a question. By definition, I don't do intermittent fasting because every morning I have a cup of tea with collagen and creamer. But, what I do do is not usually eat until 11:00 AM while cutting off eating about 8:00. Thats about 9 hours of eating and that's…

What are your favorite leggings?
I am thinking about investing in some quality leggings once I hit my goal weight of 140 lbs. My favorite brand, 90 degrees, no longer have the same quality leggings as before. They were such an easy purchase of $20-25 at Marshall's! Now they keep rolling down during my lift and HIIT sessions. I am currently eyeing the…

CICO Model vs Actual progress, misunderstood "plateau"
I'm an engineer, so math and data are important to me. I decided to plot my predicted weight loss (at a rate of 1.5 lbs per week) against my actual weigh ins since I started counting calories 2 months ago. It's not really a surprise to me but there is a STRONG correlation between the CICO model and my weight so far. While…

I don't really understand recomp?
When I asked a question before about having only a little bit of weight left to lose, some said that I didn't really need to lose much more and should try recomp instead. I'm not quite sure about that, but I looked it up and only got more confused. From what I understood, it was balancing your caloric intake and…

Favorite yoga apps for weight loss?
I have grown to love doing yoga. And I have lost 30lbs since starting. Was following DDP YOGA for last 10 weeks but it's just way too repetitive and so much talking and story telling while your trying to just workout. You end up holing a 20 second pose for 60 seconds because they are telling jokes or talking about their…

Lol) I've kind of started worrying after a friend (fitness enthusiast) said i should…

Calories while pregnant?
Hi everyone, I am currently 5"5 and 190 lbs and 16 weeks pregnant. I have been trying to find exactly how much I should be eating and if it is actually safe to have some fat loss during my pregnancy.
