Protein powder's question
I got the Vega chocolate protein powder with greens in it. I'm finding it tastes not that great. It isn't horrible but I can tell it's in there. I want something that I don't even notice it's in my drink. I'm only using the protein powder if I'm having a hard time meeting my protein goal for the day. Which so far most this…

My plan doesn't look quite how I (or my family) thought it would
Hey everyone! To start, I'll put my stats on here-- 5'7, female, 271.8 lbs. So, the reason why I'm posting is because I've been getting some pushback on my diet IRL . After a great discussion about event-based goals and what makes an athlete in the Support and Motivation forum, I decided to just embrace the active…

Shake day, strictly fruits?
I’m planning to do a shake day tomorrow where I just drink shakes, but is it still considered a shake day if I have a protein shake with almond milk and with PB2 powder. What I’ve seen when people do a shake fast or a shake day, is they only do strictly fruits. Is it really a preference what types of shakes to have during…

Help please - recording foods with bones
Hi everyone. Newbie here! Day 7 today and really enjoying being here. I have a question. When the app gives you the calories for foods that have bones, for example ribs or roast-in-the-bag chicken, does the weight include bones? Or it is just the meat? I haven't had either yet because I don't want to record them wrongly…

Why aren’t I losing weight?
I know there’s probably (annoyingly) hundreds of these types of posts on here so I apologise in advance, I’ve fluctuated for years since the age of 16, my weight can go up by as much as 5 stone then I lose it again and so on. Which is why I’m worried I’ve permanently f****d my metabolism or something. If you look at my…

Didn’t lose this week.
So, started my weight loss journey a month ago. I was losing weight pretty steadily every week. Started at 161 and I’m down to 151. This week I haven’t seen a change in weight loss at all. I haven’t changed anything which is really discouraging. I’m happy with that I’ve lost already, but I’m dying to see the 140’s on my…

Big Weekend Meal...what's next?
Hey guys, My first month in going mostly good but I just devoured a high cal meal. I usually have a problem over-ordering, part of the reason I'm here. So far I find it quite easy to eat good, get good exercise and get a general cal deficit during the week. But then it hits the weekend and I think my good sense goes out…

NSV: Finally beat the food ordering urge!
Ever since grad school 5 years ago, stress and boredom in equal parts used to compel me to order food all the time. I would even hide it from my roommates, collecting my food from the delivery guy behind the building somewhere and sneak it into the house. Last year, I started living alone and now that I had no one to hide…
