Accidental Ketosis?
Hi everyone. Restarted my fitness journey a month ago and lost 6lbs. I'm a 31 year old female. For the last month I've been eating 1500 calories a day. On a standard day I'll have homemade crustless quiche with a variety of roasted vegetables or soup for lunch, and for dinner it's pretty varied but it's usually some form…

Fat loss struggle! I need some helpful guidance :)
Hey everyone, I need a little bit of advice. In Setember 2020, I decided it was time to lose weight again (fat specifically). I had previously lost 20kg in 2018 from 115kg to 95kg. However, after I saw 98kg on the scale in September 2020, I knew I had to change. From 22 September - 12 December, I managed to get my weight…

Weight loss and risk of disease...
One of my big drives to lose weight is trying to drive down my risk of colon cancer. I've had digestive issues for longer than I can remember, and a fair bit of paranoia...but I've got so much to lose (about 150 pounds.) What I am wondering is...does the risk start lowering immediately with the change of diet and with each…

From avid carnivore to vegan (or somewhere in between)?
Anyone has made this transition and so happy with it you don’t know how you ate like you did before? You just feel and are healthier? I’m contemplating eating much more healthily - ie less meat. BUT I love meat - bacon, sausage, steak, pork - all meats - even processed deli meats. There are no medical indicators that…

Scale at Doctors vs. My Own
My doctor’s office got a new scale about a year ago that you hold the handles, put in your height, age, etc and it tells you your weight, muscle, visceral fat, water weight, etc. on his scale I am always 223-225. Obviously it’s a “high tech and very expensive” (he says this 3-4 times each time he weighs me) scale. He tells…

Eating a big brunch!
For so long I followed the notion that I needed to save calories for dinner so I would eat lighter during the day. Then I would feel peckish (probably unsatisfied) and snack on of chocolate/biscuits/snack bars (even whilst intuitively eating) and then try to make sure I didn’t overeat for dinner (but I wouldn’t feel…

How Often do you Weigh Yourself And What Kind of Scale do you use
How often do you weigh yourself? What kind of scale do you use? Digital or just a plain bathroom scale. Do you do body measurements to guage your progress as well? Such as inches loss? BMI changes? Body fat changes?

A bad weekend and I'm not even sorry
Posting this more to keep myself accountable than anything. I had a total cheats weekend. I always allow myself a bit more freedom at the weekend - I don't see it as cheating. But this weekend was Valentines, and I've not been to the cinema in nearly a year. So I brought the cinema home. I had butter popcorn, pick'n'mix…

Being made fun of because of weight
I have very large hips. I was followed in a Department Store by a store detective who accused me of stashing clothes in a hip compartment. I was very humiliated & embarrassed. That is harassment. What should I have done?

Intermittent fasting post bulking
Been bulking and gyming consistently for a while, gained a lot of extra muscle and fat. Thinking about transitioning directly into intermittent fasting to lose fat ( training maybe only one or two days a week). Think this might be the quickest way VS new way to cut. Thoughts?

Epilepsy and exercise
I have epilepsy and occasionally have the odd full seizure. This leaves me wiped for 3-4 days. I sleep the first day or so, depending on the severity of the fit. It leaves my body aching like I've done a full workout for days after and I just don't have the motivation to do any exercise for days after and then it makes me…

Zyban/Wellbutrin to quit smoking and weight loss
I am getting close to the end of my weight loss journey. My goal is 23lbs away. My whole purpose in loosing the weight (besides being healthier and all that) was that I want plastic surgery to remove all the excess skin (I started at 400 going down to 174). To the point. In order to have plastic surgery I have to be…

Not Hungry
I've always eaten out of boredom and curiosity more than hunger. I've started to stop myself from eating until I'm actually hungry. It doesn't always work since hunger comes in waves (I found if you ignore it for awhile, it stops) and I've also been a lifelong member of the Clean Plate Club. I've had to force myself to put…

Warning: TMI
I miss my BMs. I used to eat roughly 3500 calories a day—at LEAST half of which was fast food. And I work in an office setting with no real physical activity. Under these conditions I would have 1-2 productive BMs a day. Now I’m averaging 1600 calories a day and getting a little walking in everyday. I have much less…

Need suggestions for stores with pre-made meals?!
I am sure many of you know what Factor or Freshly is right?! Delicious chef made meals that you can just pop in microwave (not frozen). Do you know any stores (King Soopers, Safeway, Walmart, Sproutts, Luckys, Trade Joes, etc) that might have something similar I can just go get on Sundays, throw into fridge, and grab and…

New Weight-loss Drug Heralded as Game-Changer
A drug currently used to treat Type Two diabetes administered at higher doses. People can lose up to 15% of their body weight in 68 weeks. Doesn’t say how the weight is lost, such as by reducing appetite and I haven’t looked up the study yet. I’m not sure it’s the “game-changer” they think. People could lose that weight by…

Goals and exercise calories
I set mfp for smaller goals to get to where I want to be. I want to lose a total of 45 to 50 lb. So I set my goal for -10 lb and as I lose those 10 then I make the adjustment. Should I just put my total goal weight instead of the 10 lbs that I adjust to get to my total weight? I hope someone understands what I'm asking. My…

Feeling deflated - weight not dropping 😔
I am really struggling mentally with the number on the scales. I am 100% in a deficit, I weigh EVERYTHING. It’s been 2 1/2 weeks being on this strict diet and the scales haven’t budged at all.
