When we lose weight, where does it go?
I was curious, so I looked it up, watched a fascinating Ted Talk about the mathematics of weight loss and learned this: 84% of fat is exhaled as CO2 (carbon dioxide) 16% of fat is excreted as H20 (water) Not sure if it's accurate, but it was really interesting, and definitely over my head!

Restarting the Fitness Journey
Hello, I moved abroad during the height of covid in 2020 and put on about 30 pounds as a result of depression and social isolation in a new environment. Of course, food was one delivery order away so the pounds piled on. Now that I'm settled in and addressing my mental health, I've restarted the fitness journey and hope to…

Finally got round to doing something
Hi folks. I'm new to Myfitnesspal. I finally got round to doing something about my obesity. I lost a fair amount a few years back but it all crept back on. Now I'm back on the food logging, night fasting, careful eating, small portion bandwagon, and so far (3 days and counting) it is paying off.

The last few kgs are the hardest to shed?
Hi, I’m 38 female 170cm height . For the last 3 month or so I’ve been following a healthy lifestyle (dieting, working out, plus the occasional treats), and I managed to lose around 3kgs. I’ve noticed that the closer I get to my ideal weight (68kg) the more difficult it is to lose the last few kgs of fat. My muscle mass has…

Binge eating
Any tips or advice to avoid binge eating ? I do indulge in small treats that fit my calories most days, but there’s always that one day where I go nuts, realize what I did, and get upset with myself . It’s slowing my progress from losing 1lb a week to half a pound or to even no weight loss. It’s been a month of this…

Hello... I am ready

I'm 56 years old and the habits from my past have caught up with me. I am over weight, have high blood pressure with a high…

Trying to lose at 49
It seems that as I get closer to 50, keeping the weight off and losing it is much more challenging though I am active. I’ve gained 5 pounds and in the process of trying unsuccessfully to lose it, seem to have gained 5 more. Maybe it’s due to my age, to stress from a busy schedule and maybe due to approaching menopause. I’m…
