I have now lost close to 78 pounds, down to 193.8 with a goal of 180. Less than 14 pounds to go and can't wait. I can't wait and can't believe it.

Does this diet/exercise plan sound effective?
So I lost 80 lbs around 2 years ago and have maintained the weight loss. I wear the same size clothes, however, I do look bigger since my weight loss back in 2018. I guess muscle turned to fat? I use weight watchers/MFP to track calories on a daily basis, I aim for usually around 1200 calories per day. So my goal is to get…

Huawei Health
Does anyone have any news on Huawei Health syncing to MFP? The Huawei app shows and links to MFP but I can't see anything on the MFP side. I've done the Huawei-Google-MFP for my wife but I'm not convinced Fit is accurate. Example on mine, Fitbit fame me 5500 steps for 186 calories, Fit gave me 5200 steps (which is fine…

Benefits of Syncing Fitbit Steps with MFP - need some info
Hi everyone, I’ve been using MFP for just over a week. A couple days ago I added my Fitbit steps to my calorie count for the day. How accurate is this process as it seems to give me a lot more calories to intake. I’m not using them all. Is anyone else doing this or can provide information on its accuracy...thx. G

I am in a wheelchair so I am doing chair yoga and strength training of my arms (bands, 1.5 pound weight) now for the same…

Protein from one source
I know the best way is a varied healthy diet. BUT I've been on this 0% non-fat plain yogurt kick for quite awhile now and am finding that is the one source of my protein for the past couple of months. Funny thing is, I'm getting so much more protein in my diet now than I was before. So, I guess my question is, is it a bad…

Anything Wrong With My Fitness Plan?

Did stopping breastfeeding stall your weightloss?
I may be close to weening my babe, but worry my weight-loss will stall or even a weight gain might happen. I've been staying around 1700-1900 calories with exercise calories being eaten back and rarely being in the red (mfp is set at 1350). I've been fairly consistently losing around 2lbs a week since I started in June. I…

IBS- Bigger meals vs smaller meals
So I basically have IBS and I’m always trying to do things to manage my condition. So I’ve noticed that when I eat two large meals and 1 snack it doesn’t suit me but I feel satisfied more than 5-6 smaller meals.

Article: "Reverse dieting: slowly increasing calories won’t prevent weight regain ..."
I really rate articles on this site, but this confused me - if you go back to your old "pre-diet" eating plan then obviously you will start to gain weight again. After all, if you're 'pre-diet' regime didn't involve over-eating then you wouldn't have needed to diet in the first place. Or am I missing something here? Are…
