Did I lose what I just achieved?
Hey, I'm new and quite honestly I don't know how to work this site yet, so so sorry to bother anyone! But I just need some advice, and hopefully some good news :) For the past week I've only been eating dinner (so about 500 cal - normally under) and barely exercising due to low energy, but I reached 92 pounds! (I'm very…

Getting “chit chat” threads in my recents... glitch?
I blocked the Chit Chat board as soon as I learned how (that’s not why I am on MFP so it made sense for me) and for a long while it was all fine and dandy, then a couple/few weeks ago MFP went down for some reason, and now I am being inundated with CC threads in my “recents,” but only starting on the second page. It’s…

Downhill & Downstairs? Its a start :)
Im 28 days into this MFP journey, and I'm 12 lbs down. I take that as a win Interesting thing for me I've turned on the calories adjustment from steps because I like to eat When I first got back into this (3rd serious time) I was barely beating 5000 steps a day, and I did think this needed to be improved. So I have started…

what is the point of logging?
I am a binge eater. But I dont just let myself be free and consume. I keep track of what I eat and count the calories. Does anyone else do this? I will obsessively measure out peanut butter and chocolate spread but not stop when I reach my goal or limit for the day. The point of tracking is to know when you should stop but…

Time to up my calories?
I've finally shed enough weight to become 'overweight' as opposed to 'obese', which I'm thrilled about. :) For me, it was all about reducing my risk of Covid complications. Apparently it's 70% higher if you're obese and 40% higher if you're overweight. So, there's still an unacceptable level of risk, but I've made a good…

Finally a new breakthrough!!!
After losing some 72 pounds I upped my calories even though I still had around 15 more pounds I wanted to lose. I literally bounced around between 199 and 204 for a year, yeah a year. Never getting below 199. About 2 weeks ago I tweaked what I was doing, and yesterday I was 197.8 which was a huge breakthrough for me. Today…

Premature Ventricular Contractions after exercise?
A.k.a those annoying heart palpitations where you feel an abnormal thud beat, a pause, and then it goes back to normal. >.> Does anyone else get these? I tend to get them a lot after exercise, which I guess is just related to the epinephrine. If so, does anyone know how to reduce the frequency naturally? They don’t hurt…

Hunger Pains
I'm starting on lowering my calorie intake to help compensate for my slowing metabolism (48 years old). One thing I notice is that I feel hungry more often. As a mealtime approaches, I start to become cranky and irritated. My ability to concentrate decreases as my stomach protests. Any advice? Any suggestions?

Makeup Help
For years I let myself go, and that included appearance and dress. I’ve lost the weight and I’m ready to step it up some. But I haven’t any worn makeup at all in maybe ten years, and before that it was just light makeup- powder blush mascara and maybe some lipstick. I have totally lost the knack for applying it. Can anyone…

Eating more calories
I don’t have a lot to lose and I’m quite active. Setting my activity level on mfp and to lose at .5lbs a week gives me 1600 calories. I was thinking of trying 1700 calories, has anyone else lost eating slightly higher? I wouldn’t be eating exercise calories on top of this as I prefer a set amount.

Slowed Down Weight Loss

Loose belly skin
I’d like to see what you would use for loose belly skin after weight loss(post child birth). As well as of your belly button area looks differently. Have you tried non invasive Laser lipo, creams.. because we all know diet alone will kill gains if you’re trying to build muscle as well.

Weight Loss

Sore all the time - Garmin is harsh - Are there comfortable shoes for supinators
So, now that I am turning things around and taking control of my food intake, I am struggling to meet steps. I'm not sure if my old Fitbit gave me bonus steps but this Garmin doesn't give any. I feel like I'm walking ten miles to get 6000 steps. And then the next day my ankles, back, and sometimes knees are sore. I'm a…

‘Cheat meals’ and ‘diets’
Just wanted to start a thread for people who are suffering from the mental aspects of ‘cheating’ or restricting foods as I see a lot of people asking about things like ‘cheats meals/days’ etc etc In my opinion, we all should try and learn to remove the terms ‘diet’ and ‘cheating’ from our vocabulary, ‘diet’ is based off…
