I pass these on knowing that everyone's body is different and what works for one person may not work for another.

Celebrating
Reached a new weight loss achievement, lowest weight since April today 😊
New and need motivation lol
Hey! I’m Ashlee (Ash) I’m 32 and am currently 5”3 and 175.4 pounds and my goal weight is 150. I used to be 115 but with medications it’s been pretty hard to keep the weight off and aging from my twenties into my thirties certainly has not helped at all. I have realized I can no longer eat the way I did at 22 lol.
What happens if you don't get 100g of protein a day?
Seems today was a bit more carb heavy, and adding a protein shake would put me over my calories by 100! I am going to be doing heavy exercise later so maybe it'll be okay. My question is this: What happens if you get like 60-80g of protein a day? Do your muscles atrophy?

Why is it bad to weigh-in on a daily basis?
I weigh myself on a daily basis because that allows me to track even small gains or losses. Before I used to do weekly weigh-ins on Saturdays. Should I go back to weekly weigh-ins instead of daily weigh-ins?

Not logging daily
Hi. I’m trying to reach a 1600 calorie count per day. However, many days my mood isn’t great and I might not reach a minimum of 2200 cals for a man. Please allow or explain how I can - finish the daily meal accountability even below the threshold. I’m paying premium and am upset that I cannot input whatever I desire.…
Metformin Support Group
I have been taking metformin on and off for years (PCOS and prediabetes). I am going to give it a real try this time. I think the longest I've taken it as prescribed was around 3 months. I'm going to build myself up to 2000 mg AGAIN and stick with it through the end of the year. No excuses. I'll deal with the GI issues for…
What happens when your macros aren't perfect?
I struggle with fat content. I can stick to the calories just fine but my fat content hovers between 30-40%. Today it's showing I'm over my fat by 7grams. I'm wondering if this side tracks all my tracking because the fat is too high?

Weight loss log in app
I'm currently doing body recomposition with the deficit of 500 calories per day and also doing strength training. If I lose some weight in a week do I need to log in the weight in app weekly in? Is it necessary what will be the impact of doing this on my maintenance calorie calculation.

Ari, 39, fired up about losing weight
Hi, I knew about myfitnesspal, but I never quite knew how to use it until I started watching this one channel on YouTube called sansacooks. She explained macros so well, and I got so excited about "food data" that it got me excited about counting my calories and looking more closely at what I eat. No food is "good" or "bad…
Trying to reconcile weight loss with calorie deficit
I just finished my 2nd week of using MyFitnessPal. My goal is to lose 15-20 pounds, with a target weight loss of one pound per week - although my hope is to lose the weight much faster than this. I already have a good workout routine (3x60 min HIIT sessions + 2x30 min cardio sessions per week), but I added to it a 4-6 mile…
