So frustrated. Any wisdom?
I’m 50 and trying to lose weight. Been tracking religiously for about 3 months and only lost 4lbs. Currently 200lbs. I have a desk job but walk about 9-10K steps on average per day and I am new to it, but added strength training 3x per week about a month ago. MFP has me at 1200 calories a day, but I can’t eat that little.…

Should I increase my activity level in settings?
When I set up MFP, I put “lightly active” since I thought I best fit that description. However, I’ve done the math by taking daily weights and tracking, and it seems I burn about 500 more calories a day than MFP says I do at lightly active. I’m not a super athlete or anything, but I fidget a lot. I’ve always got a bouncing…

Question on calories.
I was in a pinch for time so instead of fast food I ran into my local grocery store (Market Basket) and grabbed a turkey and cheese sandwich from their cafe. It had lettuce tomato and onion. I did not use the mayo or mustard packets. I basically finished the whole sandwich when I flipped the container over and saw 680…

Varying calorie goals by day
I’ve been learning about best practices for maintaining muscle while losing weight and I want to check my understanding… So if I have calculated a deficit of 300 calories, I’m wondering if I should eat at a higher calorie goal on days I am lifting weights. MFP does not attribute as many calories to non-cardio exercises (so…

How do I not get derailed?
In the last couple of years I've put on about 15 pounds. Partly due to having to cutting back on activity for health reasons but also because I will just eat what I want.

Trying to reconcile weight loss with calorie deficit
I just finished my 2nd week of using MyFitnessPal. My goal is to lose 15-20 pounds, with a target weight loss of one pound per week - although my hope is to lose the weight much faster than this. I already have a good workout routine (3x60 min HIIT sessions + 2x30 min cardio sessions per week), but I added to it a 4-6 mile…
