Lose fat and maintain muscle simultaneously
Hi everyone, quick back story. I've been overweight to obese most of my life. A little over two years ago I lost about 42kg (93lbs), I've gained about 6kg (13lbs) back of that. I lost the weight through tracking my calories on MFP and walking. Over the past two years I worked my way up to running and cycling. I'm pretty…

Hi!
Hi. I’m Wendy and I will be 60 on Christmas Eve. I will be retiring in the next few months and am expecting my first grandchild in April! I am ready for the next adventure in my life but my body is not. I am realizing that an active lifestyle is extremely important to me as I age. My husband is an avid exerciser and loves…

Is 5 Reps Enough?
I walk over 1 hour almost every morning, but I wanted to add some bodyweight exercises to my routine. I did 10 knee push ups, 10 squats, 10 lunges on each leg, 10 jumping jacks, a 30 second plank, and a 45 second side plank on each side. This left me pretty sore and feeling some concerning neck pain (from the plank,…

Actually I’m a long term member but have just upgraded to Premium so that I could get more of a fully rounded program. I have gained 15 pounds over the last 6 months and I can’t seem to lose any of it. I need a community to support me in my goal. Someone needs to hold me accountable or I will never lose the weight alone.

Glad to Be Here!
Hi everyone! After my annual physical on Monday, I received a bad lab report for the first time in my life (202 cholesterol, 124 LDL, 129/88 bp). I'm 40, 5'7 and weigh 185 pounds. My goal is to lose 20 pounds (my fighting weight is 165!) and to get back to perfect lab work. Any Peloton users in here?! B)

May or may not have hit a plateau.
My weight kinda keeps bouncing up and down a few pounds every day. I'm so close to getting below 200 lbs, but it'll go up the next day 😫 I was like 202 pounds a day or two ago and today the scale said 205. Been bouncing back and forth between that range since Thanksgiving. I don't know if it's muscle from working out or…

200+ pounds to lose, could use accountability partner(s)
I know I can do this (I've lost 284 pounds before) but I've gained a lot of it back. I wasn't at my goal at that time either. I learned that with accountability and people that "get it" and support it makes it a bit easier. Especially those times when the scale won't move. Let me know if you are interested and I'll figure…

Hi! I'm Sam
Just hoping to get back into a good routine! Goal is to lose 15 pounds. My workouts are basic, usually a mile run M/W/F and arms or legs on T/TH. I'm hoping to find better recipes here, I make really boring food and I want something better. :) Would love to find friends here with similar goals for accountability.

How to hit my carb intake (MACROS)
Im a carb-aholic ...when it comes to eating. Only when Im being moderate and healthy I cant hit my carbs. Mostly because if I add in the "bad carbs" to fill the carbs then Im over on sodium or calories. I guess the real probelm is I dont know enough "healthy" carbs to make the most of my meals. Any pointers or guiders.

MFP CALORIES FOR AGE AND HEIGHT
Being stupid probably but I’m allowed 1280 calories per day, should I eat them each day OR Is it okay to eat short during the week and save for the weekend? Must I increase food intake if I do exercise exercise (planned walking or exercise bike for example) Can I count hoovering and window cleaning (just my own windows) as…
