What am I doing wrong?
I'm feeling frustrated, been diligent and consistent in keeping a calorie deficit when you consider net calories. Hitting 10K or more steps a day, drinking more water than I was (but I can improve), getting relatively good sleep, within range of my macro goals, but I'm gaining weight? I saw a little loss after 1 week, 2…

Help: negative calorie adjustment mistake?
I don’t understand the numbers for the negative calorie adjustment. MFP deducted the exact amount of calories that I burned during exercise. Also, I walked around 1000 steps MORE than yesterday where MFP gave me extra calories due to how many steps I walked. That doesn’t make any sense to me..

Can you eat active calories???
Hello, This may be a really stupid question and I fear it is! I’m on a weight loss journey at the moment. I am currently eating 1450 calories at day (which has been set by MFP) If I burn say 800 active calories (taken from Apple Watch), technically could I eat an extra 800 kcal and lose weight???

Macro for protein diet
Being post menopause, I noticed how much protein affects my weight lost and I would like to add more protein to my normal routine. I set up my macro as per 35%carbs, 35%Pro, 30% fat. What do you think if that balance?

LOSING AND KEEPING WEIGHT OFF FOREVER
I truly believe the only way to lose weight and keep it off forever (that's what we want, right?) is to to eat a high protein/low fat diet, similar to KETO, and eat 1-2 meals a day with NO SNACKING. Drink water, unsweet tea or balcak coffee in-between to keep yourself hydrated and do this as a normal routine. I know people…

Newbie here finding menopause a huge block to losing weight....
49 year old chronic pain and spinal issues here and menopause is making it TOUGH to keep weight off. I've yo-yo dieted my way to a 50 pound weight gain in 3 years and it isn't helping my pain levels.

How many times have you lost a lot of weight and then put it back on again?
I have lost over 15+ kgs only to regain it 4 times. The first 2 times I exercised excessively and dramatically cut back what I ate but I did not calorie count. The last 2 times I used calorie counting and intermittent fasting. Each time I weight cycled, I had a life changing event that triggered the regain. How many times…

1 year - an angry rant
It's been just short of a year from when I started my journey to health. I couldn't walk to hang my washing and I realised something needed to be done. Urgently. I joined a CrossFit class and got stronger. I joined pilates and toned my core. Hell, I even joined karate, which I had always wanted to join. I got fitter but…

How many calories get absorbed when you cook something and then drain it?
So, for instance, draining milk from porridge after it's been cooking for half an hour, or draining raspberries from water after having brought it to a boil. These are two examples, I don't know how to log the calories in these scenarios, would it be accurate to half the calorie amount of whatever's being drained? Thanks xx

Losing half a pound everyday
11 day of counting my calories and the scales won't budge, even though there was huge calorie deficit. I started thinking of buying a new scale! Then 3 days ago, it so happened that I consumed only as many calories as needed (1,200). Next day, the scales moved! Continued for 3 days, and now I'm losing half a pound every…

Type 2 Becomes Type 1 and Weight Gain. (Input needed)
Hi All, I've been dealing with a good bit of health issues lately and want some input of the latest hurdle. First a little background. I became a Type 2 Diabetic about 10 years ago and was able to manage it with diet and metformin. My (then) Dr said "If you would lose about 100lbs this will reverse itself and now is the…

Unsupportive Family?
What do people do when their families are very unsupportive of their weight-loss? Like saying 'you're wasting away to nothing' or 'you're looking ill.' Most people in my family are very overweight and I think that might be what motivates these comments, but how do other people deal with them because I'm having trouble?…

Full Body Tingling When Hungry
For a few years I’ve been getting what feels like a low electrical current running through my entire body just before hunger starts to sneak up on me. Others might describe it as a tingling sensation. I feel it mostly in my arms and legs, but my head is also affected. After 15-20 minutes of this, I start feeling hungry.…

Why is Ronnie Coleman suffering? Are we all doomed? Strength training bad?
I saw a documentary and saw the condition he was in. I'm not even close to his 1% strength level but I lift weights and try to push as much as I can. Lower, upper, arms/abs, lower, upper - 5 days a week. I workout, eat and try to maintain. Been trying to lose my last 5-7 kg and it's been a year and I keep fluctuating 80-83…

Eating Strategies for the Sleep Deprived?
I’ve had interrupted sleep most nights for a few weeks recently and am seeing it affect my food choices. It doesn’t matter what I plan for the day, I crave sugar. Yesterday I grazed my way through a lot of unsatisfying sugary snacks. Today, I planned for it and had a soda at lunch—probably similar calories/nutrition level,…

Measurements
I feel like I'm not measuring (body parts!) correctly. Because I will measure my (neck, waist, etc., you name it) and then try again two weeks later (with maybe a pound of weight loss in between) and the second time is off (higher!) by anywhere from a half-inch to two inches. And there's no way that's the reality, so I…

Holiday Challenge: Maintain, not lose
I just wanted to take this opportunity to urge folks who are in the losing weight phase to adjust your expectations and calorie goals to maintaining your weight over the holidays. It is really too much to ask of yourself (if I may grossly generalize) to expect yourself to eat at a calorie deficit during the holidays.…

Body fat target
I am aiming for a body fat target of 10%. I am currently 19%. Is there an area on MFP where you can aim for a body fat goal, not a weight goal?
