Feeling Light Headed and Dizzy
My husband has decided he wanted to lose weight and I offered to join him in his journey. The only concern I have is that in the past I have felt light headed and dizzy trying to meet my daily calorie goals. Even on days where I would have exceed my maintenance goal I would feel sick. We both use a food scale to try to get…

Starvation mode?
Hi, I'm new here, I started to keep track of my eating and weight on this app after losing my appetite.

Sleep advice help?
I've had problems with sleep ever since my teens (40 now) I can not remember the last time I slept all night. My sleep is light, broken, tossing and turning, waking 3-4 times per night. I be grateful when it gets to a reasonable time where I can just get up. The result of all this is fatigue, lower energy in the gym, lower…

Should I get Lipo??
I have been using MYP and exercising like crazy and have lost 38lbs in 14 months. I still have 20ish to go. The thing is, the roll of fat on my abdomen WILL NOT BUDGE!! It’s right under my belly button and it is the only place I have not lost inches from. I’m getting discouraged. I think it’s here forever even if I lose…

Hi everyone - I started looking into low cal/high fat diets. Currently my cal deficit is going well with my current composition of carbs (usually somewhere in the 45-50% daily macros).

What fitness tracker do you use (watches, apps, etc)?
So I noticed my phone has Google Fit so I have been using it to track steps the past 3 days but it's kind of tedious to go in and START my workout each time. I was thinking of investing in a fitness tracking watch/band that just tracks my steps, miles, heart rate, sleep, etc automatically and links to MFP. Would love…

Extreme Weight Fluctuations after drinking
Hello I drank beer last night with very minimal food to try and eliminate bloat but I gained 7 lbs overnight when I stepped on the scale this morning.

TARGET 100 - HEALTHY LIVING PLAN
So I know that it's calories in vs calories out and it should be simply to just eat less, exercise more. But I PREFER to follow a plan that says do this now, do this then. But I was just reading a book online today called THE TARGET 100 -- it seems like a really simple list of daily and weekly goals that will eventually…

Can someone explain the difference to me? Both have increased over the past month, but my weight is all over from week to week. I have lost half an inch in my waist and half an inch in my thighs though. I am getting frustrated that the scale is not moving. Am I doing something wrong?

Flexible Diet Goals
This is probably a stupid question, but is it okay for me to be flexible with my dieting goals? For example, I am trying to only eat calories to lose 1lb a week. However, some days I go a little over, but I’m still under what my maintenance calorie goal would be. The other day, I also skipped dinner because I wasn’t…

Should I be eating low fat and fat free?
When getting things like cottage cheese, yogurt, peanut butter, frozen meals, dressing for salads, cheese, etc should I be getting FAT FREE or LOW FAT or just go full flavor?

Imported Recipes VS. Printed Nutritional Information
What should I be using when adding to my diary? When I import my recipe from google, the difference in calories is significant (200+ difference). But the meal kit says the calories are less than the imported recipe. Which is right? How can I trust the information on here with such a discrepancy?

Do we really need weight loss goals?
When I tell people I am on here they often say "That's great! How much do you want to lose?" and I'm like... I dunno... I just want to be healthier and feel better.

What does it actually take to gain 1 pound of fat?
I’ve been on google for quite some time trying to figure this out and so far I’ve seen three different perspectives on this particular topic: 1.) eating anything above your TDEE 2.) Eating 3500 calories and 3.) Eating 3500 calories on top of your BMR / TDEE. Would anyone be willing to confirm or deny either of these?
