An absolute failure... breeds a new chance to try again.
Hey all! A long time ago I was fit. well, as fit as a high school student could be. I was a bit overweight, at around 170 lbs or so, but I was actively involved in TaeKwonDo, and was darn good at it. However, it bothered me that I was a bit overweight, but never really had the motivation to lose it (after all, being busy…

Egg free PLEASE!
Hello! I am just starting out on paleo and am floundering finding egg free breakfasts. I have a two year old and a one year old, and the younger one is allergic to eggs. I know of some substitutes, but those won't cut the mustard when something requires 6 eggs, or egg is the primary ingredient. I am also trying to avoid…

Favorite Not So Unhealthy Cheat Food
Just a question, always looking for things that might be good to enjoy occasionally that aren't completely unhealthy. For me, my major one is White Cheddar Popcorn, I love it, and eat it a few times a week--the mini-100 calorie bags. How bout you all?

NO starch, no sugar, no results! HELP!
Day 21, and only about 3 lbs lost, none in the last 12 days. I keep thinking that I'm going to break through any day, but no luck. I'm about to give up. Typical day is around 1500 calories, Protein from chicken, fish, pork roast, eggs, occasional bacon. Veggies, mostly broccoli, salad, brussels sprouts. I weigh everything.…

Logging question
I'm not sure where to ask this question, and haven't seen it come up so I will ask it here. Here is the scenario... say I eat an apple every day at lunch. I just find the apple listed under the lunch tab and click to add it. Easy. So a week later, I decide to have an apple with dinner. Why do I have to search for that…

measuring food
Hi, just started yesterday on here and was wondering if there is an easier way to measure things like cheese. It's asking for ml or g, and I don't have a scale, I've tried putting in 1/2 cup grated cheese for example, but it doesn't come up that way. Not sure then if I am accurately putting in the info for the diary, thanks

My athleticism is screwing up my weight loss goals!
Before I started roller derby I was doing several things right. A combination of intermittent fasting and paleo helped me drop 25 lbs in about 2 months, and I loved it. But when I joined roller derby it became incredibly evident that my 4 hours of constant skating was not having the right affect on my body- my focus was…

Newlywed food advice
So the last time I did this I lost about 70 pounds. Then I got lazy. I gained every last pound back. Sigh.... So I'm starting over. However, I have a new concern that I didn't have last time. I just got married a little over 2 months ago and am now living with my husband. My husband is about 100 pounds lighter than me and…

Keep it simple!
An old adage says that "great engineering is SIMPLE engineering." I think the same is true of weight loss, that the plan has to be simple enough to execute faithfully. Three prior plans I used started simple, then suddenly got complicated, like Weight Watchers did with Points Plus in 2011. That's why I'm now here at…

Accountability Partners?!?
When I was a kid I was a little chunky but nothing out of the norm for a child. As I sprouted, I never had to worry about what I ate. I was thin and happy. I then get pregnant and gained 50 pounds. I was 175 lbs. I only lost about 20 of those pounds. 2 years later, baby #2 was here and I weighed in at 212 pounds! WOW! I…

How many calories?
I'm confused. MFP says to eat 1600 calories to lose 2 lbs per week. My BMR is 1881.6 and my TDEE is 2558. So 1600 makes sense, but I keep reading to not eat below my BMR? So to be healthy should I eat my BMR and just lose weight a little more slowly? Or is 1600 ok even though it's below my BMR? Thanks!

Activity Level
I started out an sedentary since I have a desk job and am sitting 8 hours a day, however, for the last month and a half I have been going to the gym for an hour of cardio at least 5 days a week. I'm thinking I should probably change it, but I'm not sure what to change it to. Moderately active? Active?

Wanting to start practicing yoga...?
...but I have no idea where to start. I love workout dvd's. I'm a Jillian Michaels fan, but I heard that her yoga dvd was more of a yoga-inspired workout than actual yoga. Are there any good easy-to-grab dvd's from Target or Walmart or such that would help me start out? Or if there are any good videos/channels on youtube…

A Message To all beginners....
It is so hard to believe it has already been 50 days of my the new ME.... I never thought when I started that I was capable of sticking with the healthy eating, no longer drinking (hardest part), and consistently going to the gym 5-6 times per week, every week. I was always a yo-yo dieter going about things the WRONG way.…

how quickly did your fitness improve?
Just curious to all of you exercisers. When you first went from couch to walking/running/lifting weights/swimming - whatever you do, How quickly did you notice you got better? You could lift more, walk longer, start jogging instead of walking ect. I'm slightly amazed at how quickly our bodies can improve and adapt. Day 1 i…
