New. Brutally Honest.
I'm 52y female, have been in steep caloric deficit for years due to ongoing medical issues & inability to eat(chew/swallow/keep food down). This had ruined my metabolism, added more weight than I've ever had(90 xtra lbs) and affected my ability to exercise(arthritis). I was going 2 or 3 days without eating. My body just…

Signs it's time to deload?
It's been 6 weeks since my last deload (which was hiking and some moto dirtbiking on vaca). Is this too soon? Idk if this past week was just a bad one or if my body just needs a break, but the weights felt so heavy and it was hard to push myself like I usually do. I am eating plenty and getting enough sleep. I was supposed…

Success without Eating "Healthy" Foods?
Hey everyone! I've been using MFP off and on a couple years, and this time around over the summer I've had a very great start.

Can I lift after SIBO test prep?
I had to do a diet prep and fast for 13 hrs for the SIBO breath test. The diet yesterday included only rice, shrimp, eggs, and canned white potatoes. Then I drank the 75g glucose drink this morning.😖 I ate normal today but still feel a tiny "off". Do you think it's safe to workout if I feel up to it?

Will my calories decrease over time if I start at 1,210?
Hi! I’m wondering how far MyFitnessPal will set the calorie goal. I know that they offer to change the goal for every 10 lbs lost, but is there a boundary where they can’t cross 1,200, or something? I’m only concerned since they’re starting me at 1,210. I don’t want to plateau. Thank you!
Any suggestions?
I have been at this for 5-7 months and now weight more than when I began. I eat well, move nearly everyday and drink tons of water. I am told I don’t eat during the day and too much after 7pm, so I have altered that as much as I am able, but I get so depressed and lonely at night it’s hard not to have a snack. Every single…

Body image issues after losing weight?
This is a subject that I didn’t realize I would need to address but…well…here I am. Does anyone who has lost a lot of weight struggle with body image? A quick summary to help make sense of where I’m coming from. When I was in my 20s-30s i basically lived at my gym (hence the username)…I was strong…I was cut (lifted 5/days…
