Can I see your back?
This is so embarrassing and I feel like a lost cause... Can I see your back before/after? Mostly for the women. My daughter took a picture of me at my desk today...and I almost threw up in disgust. I need help. I have been trying to find workouts that would help eliminate the back fat. I am going to share the picture that…

Here is what works...
These pictures were taken 1 year apart. Done in a macro diet. Under 2,000 calories a day with limited carbs, very little sugar and very high protein. I started at 180 pounds and ended at a 180 pounds. 42 years old. No supplements, but work out 5 days a week for an hour. Honestly not that hard once you get into a routine.…

Broken 9 day streak
I’d completed 9 days of > 1500 calories net (I allowed myself to eat exercise surplus) I managed to lose 0.8KG and it felt like a genuine loss, my stomach was certainly flatter. Last night I was due to go out for an Indian meal and it was all preordered by someone else so I didn’t get to choose. Therefore I decided to fast…

Women over 50 (menopausal) success stories?
I found an old thread from about 2014, but I'm wondering if some women who are over 50, have lost over 20 pounds, could share how they did it? I'm looking for specifics, like how many calories did you eat to lose weight, and how many minutes of exercise a day did you need to do? I started the beginning of January, and have…

MFP & Fitbit Extra Calories !?
Hi All, I log all my food via MFP and use to use my iPhone to track my steps. The last 2 days I am using a Fitbit Inspire HR and have synced with MFP, however am having an issue with extra calories? Today I did 13,600 steps and Fitbit added 1,684 extra calories earned to my MFP. Last week I did 9,600 steps and my iPhone…

Exercise Allows Me to Eat More and Still Lose Weight
I enjoy food, no way to “sugar-coat” it : ) I have found that by performing aerobic exercise (cycling, in my case, ~1000 kcal/day) allows me to burn enough calories during the day to enjoy satiating, high quality, calorie dense, meals yet still lose weight. As long as I maintain an average of a 500 kcal deficit each day I…

Weighting food

Maintenance Anniversary
I realized that today is my 6 year maintenance anniversary and my weigh-in this morning put me within a pound of my original goal weight, that I hit on April 1, 2013 :) I chose that weight to be my goal because it's what I weighed on my wedding day, when I had just turned 24. I'm now 40 years old and can comfortably fit…

Keeping the same weight!
This may seem like a nonsensical post, but my goal was to stay at 12 and a half stone, or just over, or in lbs, 175lbs. I started January the 22nd. My first goal was to get back into the gym and get myself back where I was over a year ago. I was a regular gym goer, every week day morning, from 7 till 9. During that time I…

365 days ago...
One year ago I had a choice: to either do nothing about my extreme morbid obesity (170 kg, 375 pounds) - that would mean that now, a year later I would carry at least the same weight with me and chances were that I would be even heavier by now. OR TO JOIN MFP and get all that tremendous support from so many members. I…

90 days logging!
I have been logging for 90 days with a steady loss of 0.5lb per week. This small weight loss goal has been surprisingly "easy" once I got into the rhythm of eating less/moving more. I would say my biggest success has been "balance." All other attempts to reduce calories failed miserably for me - considering things like a…

100 pounds lost in 2366 days on MFP!
This long, long voyage started on January 4th, 2012 when I was downloading apps on my brand new tablet and I wanted a calorie counter for my usual beginning of the year calorie restrictive diet I'd do every year. I'd lose some weight every year, some more than others but the end result was every year the weight went back…
