Total carbs
I signed up for the Premier program. I set my net carbs at 10% or 30 g a day. That is too much. I want to go back to the total carbs and set it at 30 g a day but I don’t know how

262 lb to 180.2 lb
I started at 262 pounds for my heaviest weigh in. I knew I needed to make a change for the better! I ended up using a TDEE Calculator website and found my caloric intake for weight loss and stuck to that! I am still sticking to it as I have some fat on the lower belt that I want to lose! I never really cared about macros…

Success is anything but a straight line.
January 16th, 2014. I was laid up with yet another back injury... this time, thank god, it was just muscular in nature, and I was unhappy. I couldn't figure out why, I had my own house, a great wife, an amazing job that I love, and aside from this momentary setback with my lower back I was pain free (Two years prior I had…

156-Pound Weight loss, and so much more!
1919 days ago, in January 2017, after a girl’s night out when none of the other ladies wanted to sit beside me in the movie theater, I came here to MFP frustrated and angry with myself. I weight 312 pounds, could hardly walk, and the slightest physical movement left me huffing and puffing and gasping for air. I have two…

110 pounds and counting.
So far I’ve lost 110 pounds and just ordered new pants for the third time (10 inches smaller than where I started). And my shirts have gone from 5XL to a 3XL (or 4xl depending on the brand). I love how the app helps me track calories and the recipe feature is awesome to divide a dish into portions for calorie count. Really…

Something major and unexpected
I started my weight loss journey this time around on Jan 1. The first six weeks or so were exceptionally difficult- my appetite was all over the place, I had a major autoimmune flare up, and I was struggling to keep up with work plus workouts plus side hobbies, eating right, and home obligations. It was a lot, and it took…

Anyone do IF & OMAD then increase food intake?
I have been doing IF for 18 weeks now eating OMAD. I also workout with weights for 40 min and 20 min of cardio 3x a week. I am currently at a plateau so I wanted to start using MFP to track my calorie intake in hopes that following certain macros I can break this plateau. I was chastised by a nutritionist that I was doing…

Under 300lbs for the first time in about 4 years!
As with a lot of people, I suffered quite hard under the lockdowns. My company was constantly on the verge of going under as it was reliant on tourism and I was working 10-11 hour days sat at my desk, rarely getting up and ordering takeaways 6 nights a week from being so tired. As a result, I ballooned up to 352.1lbs by…

Midnight (Early Early morning) Snacking!…
Since becoming a mom over 21 years ago, I have the worst sleeping habits ever! As a result, I find myself in my refrigerator or cabinet at the wee hours of the morning or SUPER late at night grabbing and eating things that I shouldn’t and many times falling back to sleep soon after consumption! I’ve tried on many occasions…

Work hours

3,000 Days! (No resets)
It can be done! I’ve reversed Type 2 Pre-diabetes, lost 20kg (and still going), completely changed my lifestyle and hopefully am heading towards my weight goal. None of this could have been done without MFP and my medical team. I’m still working on exercising more and trying to overcome disability, but this app has been my…

Successfully recovered from my Brownie issues
Maybe this success is too small to put here, but I get crazy cravings for specific things sometimes. It's usually not an issue, but when it's brownies it always flips my fitness world upside down. For like 2-4 days or so I went nuts eating brownies. Eat me guilt free protein brownies, low calorie thin slim brownies, and…

Looking for ladies "tummy apron" success stories!
First of all, I don't mean to exclude the boys here. I just know female tummies naturally seem to stretch out more due to us having the whole baby-carrying ability :P So here's where I'm at: I have the dreaded mommy apron. But the kicker: I'M NOT A MOMMY! LOL. I've never even been pregnant. I've been overweight, if not…

How to pass plateaus
I lost 16 lbs, goal was 30. Couldn’t get past that plateau, using macros, tried refeed day, reset day, etc. What am I doing wrong? Then lost all hope and its all back again. How do I get past that yoyo plateau? Totally frustrated.

HEY ALL😁
Hello all!!! In 2016 I started my weight loss journey at 224 pounds, and by the end of 2018, I got down to 135 pounds, mostly through intermittent fasting.

These photos are 10 years apart, but I dropped nearly all the weight since last summer by: 1. Eating healthy & eating less, added fruits and vegetables to my diet, eating less red meat, carbs, and fried food. Stopped going back for seconds and thirds. 2. Daily exercise, 45 min on the elliptical or stationary bike, plus…

I lost a few pounds, but I gained it back after a personal trainer nearly crippled me. Well, he did temporarily. He aggravated some injured areas, and I had to totally stop and recover. Sorry he had…
