I am consistently way under for my Protein intake. Anyone else have this issue and found ways to get more protein in? It’s hard to get it in on 1330 calories per day I find🧐6

I struggle with protein too. I switched to Greek or Skye yogurt to help.6 -
Joining from the last challenge.
Welcome to everyone new whose joined!
Highest weight 225 2020
2021 starting weight 180.8
Challenge goal loss 9 lbs
I'll weigh in on Saturdays this challenge.
8/1 162.8
8/7 161.8
8/20 161.6 (Weight is coming off slowly, but the last couple weeks I've been consistently exercising, and walking a lot more. I know I'll still make my challenge goal.)
8/28: This week decided I needed to switch things up, so I put the scale away and uploaded a pedometer to my phone. I'm waiting on a band to arrive so I can wear it. I'll share my step count next week.
9/04 Averaging 6,200 steps a day. Goal is to increase to 10,000 steps a day. I've also been consistent in getting in my workout routines. I have a doctors appointment Oct. 5th, so I'll hold off and weigh on that day.
9/11 Averaging 8,500 steps a day. Happy with the increase from last week. I never realized how much more energy being more active gives me.
9/18 Averaging 7,900 steps a day. Finally getting some much needed rain, so I'll be getting a lot of indoor steps.
9/25 Averaging 9,800 steps a day.
10/02 Averaged 12,400 steps a day, and for the month of September averaged 9,100 steps a day.
10/05 159 glad to be out of the 160's, now to work out of the 150's. Motivated for a strong challenge finish.
10/09 155.6 averaged 16,200 steps a day this week. Challenge weight loss 7.2 lbs.
10/16 155.2 averaged 20,000 steps a day. Challenge weight loss 7.6. 1.4 lbs to challenge goal.
10/23 156.0 averaged 18,000 steps a day. Challenge weight loss 6.8 lbs. Last week of the challenge going to try and end it back at 155.

I struggle with protein too. I switched to Greek or Skye yogurt to help.
I have several protein shakes a day. Each scoop of (whey) protein powder with 12 ounces of nonfat milk is 255 calories and gives me 38 grams of protein with only 1 gram of fat and 23 grams of carbs.3 -

SW 9/14/20-255 lbs (Heaviest wt second time, Started new job, less stress, not having a micromanager anymore!)
UGW-122 lbs ( lowest wt 2009, kept off about 5 years, got lazy and then had a bad fx and had to learn to walk again)
Surgery 5/3/21-240.5 lbs (gallbladder)
MFP SW 5/14/21-232.2 lbs
CGW-190 lbs
CW start
8/1/21-212.0 lbs
8/8/21-209.2 lbs
8/15/21-207.8 lbs
8/22/21-204.4 lbs
8/29/21-203.0 lbs. Doing well. Keeping on track. I'm not sure if I'll meet my goal of under 200 lbs by 9/1/21 AM weigh in but I can't complain about 9 lb loss! I'm doing a procedure prep today for Monday, of Clear liquids + so that may help me reach it! The good part of the prep! Routine test for a bad family history of 3 generations and praying for a clean bill of health! Started using my Elliptical last Sunday, instead of walking, as it was raining all day. Hadn't used it since pre 10/15. It burns a lot more calories and gets my heart rate up exponentially.
9/1/21- 200 lbs. Well missed my goal by 0.1 lbs! But who can be upset with 12 lbs in a month loss? Without being hungry or exhausted. I also have a recent NSV. I had a Tibial Plateau Fracture in 10/15 and since have had to take 1 stair at a time and meet it with the other leg going up. (Coming down I can alternate most times.) I can now alternate steps going up. Losing 55 lbs has accomplished this! Oh well, ONWARD AND UPWARD. MAYBE IT SHOULD BE ONWARD AND DOWNWARD!
ML-12 lbs
MLGW-199.9 lbs
9/1/21-200.0 lbs
9/5/21-200.4 lbs- So my 9/1 weight showed the clear liquid prep I had to do obviously. So not surprised by the slight uptick in weight today. I did stay true to my calorie, carb restrictions and exercise routine though. Keeping my 195 lb goal for October1 and 190 lb for November1.
I did 97 minutes/8 miles on my Elliptical this AM. I
Longest time/mileage so far. I got my heart rate up to 140-150.
9/12/21-198 lbs- I've been doing 99 minutes/8 miles, on my Elliptical on my 3 days off. Stayed true to my Net Carbs and calories this past week.
9/19/21-194 lbs!!!! OMG! I can't believe this. I expected my weight loss to slow down by now. I may need to amend my End Goal! Still staying true to my Net Carbs, Calories and doing my Elliptical 99 minutes/8+ miles, 3 days/week on my days off.
9/26/21-192.8 lbs Doing well, staying on track. Still doing Elliptical on my off work days.
10/1/21-191.4 lbs
ML-8.6 lbs- Under my month goal!!
MLGW-195 lbs
10/1/21-191.4 lbs
10/3/21-189.8 lbs Met my goal but don't intend to back off. Maybe I'll get below 180!? Bumped up my Elliptical from 98 minutes today to a full 2 hours. Started as a 6 minute cool down and then did the extra 15 more. Felt great afterwards!
10/10/21-188.8 lbs- down 23.2 lbs of challenge goal of 22 lbs! Upped my Elliptical to 130 min a few days ago.
10/17/21-186.2 one-time 68.8.lbs. Upped my Elliptical this week to 140 minutes and did 151 minutes today because I wanted the 12 miles! I'm more than halfway through my 133 lbs loss goal.
10/24/21-182.6 lbs, doing well, staying on track with calories, carbs, water and still doing Elliptical minimum 150 minutes 3x/week on my off days. Quite happy about my loss. Maybe I'll get under 180 lbs for 11/1/21. 72.4 lbs down so far! Got to keep on keeping on!
Down 29.4 lbs of my 22 lb Aug-Oct challenge goal!

Hello! I’m 34F, 5’4 and started using MFP again at the end of May and feel like I am in it for the long haul this time, learning how to cook healthy foods and creating healthy habits.
May 28th 2021 Weight 240lbs (also my highest weight)
Ultimate goal weight 170lbs (I’ll reassess once there but that feels more like a doable goal right now)
Challenge starting weight- 220.4lbs
Challenge end goal- 205lbs
Sunday is my weigh in day
08/01- 220.4lbs
08/08- 216.2lbs -4.2lbs Surprising amount of weight loss this week, I didn’t exercise a few days this week due to fun time and am thinking was probably backed up a bit last week
08/15- 216.6 +.4, total -3.8. Had a 2lb gain in middle of week, not sure why exactly besides random body fluctuations, only had one day was over calorie goal, by about 300 calories. I was tired and had a lack of motivation this week, did exercise 4 days so that’s something
08/22- 215.2 -1.4, Total -5.2 Pretty good this week, just over calories one day due to Pizza, exercised 5 days this week and then had a 6th day I walked a lot more than normal due to grocery shopping.
08/29- 214.8 -.4, total -5.6 Brought home take out Friday and went to a wedding(small, outdoors) and had cake on Saturday so am happy it was still a loss despite being small. Exercised 5 days and was under my calorie goal 5/7 days
08/31- 214.8 5.6 lbs lost for the month!
09/01- 214.4. -.4, -6lbs Total
09/05- 213.0, -1.4, -1.8 this month, -7.4lb challenge total. Exercise 4 days this week, was over my calorie goal a couple days but not by too much
09/12- 210.8 -2.8lbs, -4.6 this month, -10.2 challenge. Tweaked my ankle in the middle of the week and didn’t do any cardio the rest of the week but did pick up my weights for the first time in years, made me realize I need to start using them regularly again as 5lb weights should not feel that heavy.
09/19- 211.8 +1lb, -3.6 this month, -9.2 challenge. Didn’t exercise much the first half of the week and had a couple days over calorie goal a bit but math wise I shouldn’t have gained weight. Yay body fluctuations! My ankle feels back to normal now so next week will be better exercise wise.
09/26- 210.0 -1.8lbs, -5.4 this month, -11 challenge. hit 30 pounds lost milestone since starting MFP four months ago. Walked my normal loop in 43 minutes today, my fastest time yet, 6 months ago it took 55minutes, had to pause so many times on the hill. It’s nice to look back and see that I have gotten healthier and to know that I can continue to improve
09/30- 209. -1lb, 6.4lbs lost this month! 12 pounds total challenge
10/03- 209.8 +.8, -11.2 challenge, Did not track anything most of this week, work and my period combined dampened my motivation for exercising. Went to a couple new(to me) bakeries/restaurants this week and got way too many nummies. Also went to farmers market and got lots of healthy stuff too and am set up to eat healthier this week
10/10- 209.6 -.2, +.6 this month, -11.4 this challenge. Honestly, I expected a better number on the scale, had a pretty good week all and all. Oh well, next week will hopefully have better results scale wise. I did love being able to fit in some more clothes this week that I have not worn for a few years.
10/17- 207.4 -2.2, -1.6 This month, -13.6 challenge. Yay progress actually shown on the scale this week. Exercised and under calories 6 days this week and tried a few new recipes. Learned tearing tofu vs slicing gives it a better texture when baked, sautéed Apples are yummy and I have no clue how to dice a tomato. Next time instead of just reading how to dice it, will watch a YouTube video. That poor tomato didn’t have a chance. Mushed tomato still tasted good in my eggs though.
10/24- 207.2 -.2lbs, -1.8 this month, -13.8 This challenge. Worked for hours this week and will next week, having a harder time fitting in exercise. Prepared food/advance so still ate healthy. Went for a hike today and have hiking plans for next Sunday which I am excited about. I may make it to 15lbs lost for the challenge, will be close
