How do I improve my body composition?
Hi, I am a 23 year old female. I currently weigh 118lbs and am 5' 4.5 or 164 cm. I want to look more lean and strong but I am not sure how to lose weight or if I should just try to gain muscle. I will attach some pictures of me now. I go to the gym a few times a week and do strength training 2-3 times and cardio 2. Help!
No weight loss 😞
Hi ladies, I saw this group and thought I’d give it a try to get some help with post menopausal weight loss. I cut refine sugar out of my diet months ago and then started tracking my calories on fitness pal a month ago so that I could be more aware of staying in a calorie deficit. I am meeting 1500 cal a day, staying below…

Do you guys have any tips for someone that doesn't like exercise, but they have to anyways?

I have recently started my fitness journey, and the trajectory is towards fat loss. Any tips?
I've been on this weight loss journey for a while now, but man, keeping it consistent is a struggle. Some weeks I'm on top of it—eating clean, working out, feeling good. Then, boom! Life happens, and suddenly, I'm reaching for comfort food, skipping workouts, and it all just feels like a cycle. I’m really looking to break…
"Workout for whales" needed or 15 minutes of something?
I am heavily overweight (325 lbs) but down 23 lbs from where I started not even two months ago. Someone asked me if I work out today at a different thread.

Importance of Protein and my goal?
So, I have my goals set on my app telling me I have a protein of 84 kg. But I always hear more protein is better for both muscle growth and weight loss. So, should I be aiming to keep this at that rough number it's giving me or does it matter if I go over?
Weight loss without, or with limited, physical activity.
Hi there. I've struggled with weight loss over the last 3-4 years, mostly due to medical/physical health issues. As a result, the amount of physical activity I could do is limited to none. I'd lose a pound or two, then gain... or remain at a stable weight, then gain... and gain. Life happens, etc. Well now, between May…

Weighing food to logg

Early morning weigh-in after big protein dinner
Hi everyone! If I had a big protein dinner by 18:20 is it best that I don't eat anything else so that I don't sabotage tomorrow's early morning weigh-in and cancel out any incidental activity/exercise I've done earlier today?

How do Net Calories work?
Hii I'm new to the site and still getting a feel for how everything is calculated and set up, and though I've grasped the basics of the Net Calorie calculator, there's something I don't quite get.

I could see how weighing in everyday could not be good for someone's mental health. So I am curious of what everyone here prefers to do. I just prefer…
