Fitbit tdee
Hello - haven't posted in a while I guess that's because I've been happy with my progress, and have just been happily plodding away. Sooo, few things have changed, I've signed up to run a half marathon next year - which is a huge thing for me as I've always hated running with a passion. I've started a training plan, which…

How should I set my macros?
I have lost a few pounds, which is fine, but I don't need to lose anymore. I have been keeping about a 500 cal deficit thinking my metabolism was slower than it was so now I am increasing my cals a little. How should I set my protein/carb/fat ratios? My bmr is 1320 and I usually burn off about 1000 cals on the stairmaster…

Scales are stuck
I have been using myfitness pal since January 1 and have gone from 183 to 157 pounds, I am 52 and am 5'5. Over the last 3 weeks my scales are stuck. The only thing they will show is a 1/2 to 3/4 pound gain. I am sticking to the 1200 calorie a day I have been doing since the start. I walk 2 miles three times a week at a 3.5…

I need to make a change and I'm confused
Hello everyone, I've been logging on MFP diligently for just over a month now. I've lost a couple pounds but my weight seems to fluctuate a lot. All of a sudden, I feel stuck, and for the past couple of days, I feel really hungry. I have read a lot on these forums and done a lot of research outside. I've realized it's time…

The Mental process of eating more?
So I've been working on my reset for a couple weeks now, and as I'm getting to 1600 calories a day, I'm finding it tough to get up to that much without feeling "guilty." It doesn't help either that I still feel pretty full all the time and even when I'm hungry I'm bloated as well and find it hard to eat anything without a…

8 weeks in with cut, now what?
I just realized I kind of missed the 6 week mark check in about adjusting cals and am now on week 8 (I mis-wrote when to check in on my spreadsheet -_-). My weight has kind of been bouncing up and down from 167 to 165 for the passed month (it's super annoying). So I'm wondering what I should do now. Should I add 100 cals…

just a few pounds/inches to go - is this for me?
Hello all! I've barely worked today - spent the entire day reading all your posts (don't tell my boss!) Now I would like some expert advise. Anyway, I lost 20 pounds a few years ago on the 17-day diet, reaching a goal weight of 143. Over two years I slowly gained about 8-10 pounds back. I tried to do the same regimen again…

Trying to wrap my mind around EM2WL
I have been following EM2WL for over a year now. I am just having a hard time accepting that I could eat so much and still drop this weight. My greatest concern is that it seems as if most of the ladies who are committed to the EM2WL lifestyle were much smaller than I am to begin with. I am 5'5, weigh 255 and do cardio at…

Newbie! Advice please.
Hey everyone! I just joined and I am excited to get my metabolism back on track. A little about myself: I was at my heaviest at 17 years old at about 240 pounds. I am 5 ft 6 in and decided to begin losing weight when i was almost 18 years old. I went down to about 128 but that was when I started really eating very low…

Still a little confused and scared!
OK so I read a bunch of posts and I'm kind of understanding the TDEE/maintenance/macros and whatever other lingo is going on. I just want to clarify! So at 5'5" I'm 119 and set my goal at 115 at .5 lbs a week. I would rather lose a few than gain any so I thought I'd be safe rather than sorry! So it said 1330 was my number,…

Something doesn't seem right....
I have been eating at TDEE -20% (approx 2200 calories), lifting 3 days a week (New Rules for Women) and doing cardio 3-5 days a week (30-50 at a time). My macros aren't perfect everyday, but my protein is pretty close (between 20-30%). I am not losing weight. I can see suttle changes in my body, but nothing drastic. I have…

Looking to start eating more; looking for encouragement/info
Hello, I'm 18 and haven't been using M.F.P. fully lately; I tend to track throughout the day and then eat at night and not log all my snacking. I'm 5'4'', somewhere between 140 and 143 pounds, and am pretty active, I think (I'm not sure, because I'm a student, so I sit still most days, but I also run and do Baptiste power…

How long before the scale turns around?
Hi everyone! I've been watching what I eat for more than 3 years now (I've lost a bit less than 50lbs since then), and I recently came to the conclusion that I wasn't eating enough the whole time... I was at less than 1,200cal/day, plus a big cheat meal every week (like beers & pizza...).... I know (now), it's the worst…

how important is 100% accuracy in hitting macros?
I've been given a nutrition plan that calls for 25g of protein, 25g carbs, 10g fat at each meal. I'm finding it very difficult to hit these numbers spot on, but the OCD devil in my head insists that I need to make it happen. I do weigh everything I eat, so at times, it gets to the point of having to split an almond in…

Thank you for this group :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this group and to those of you that continue to respond to questions! I started this weight loss journey at the end of December. I followed the MFP guidelines at 1200 calories and spent months feeling tired, crabby, cold and hungry. I lost about 8 pounds in 3 months. Given that I am 35,…

HIIT(?) Weight lifting and how to log calories
Hi, I am getting the hang of my fitbit now, and I think I can get the calories right for most activities. However weight lifting seems totally off. When you lift to failure you (or at least I) get wiped out for a couple of days and get some serious DOMS. I feel like this should be worth more than 100 calories or so. Fitbit…

How long until I start to lose fat?
I have been eating a 1200 calorie diet (or less, I didn't always eat back my exercise calories - glad I finally know better!) for the past year or so. I was able to lose some weight, but my body looked the same - still skinny-fat, still with all the same problem areas. I've recently (since March) been slowly increasing my…
