I have a red meat intolerance (9 years of no red meat) so I pretty much just eat birds and fish (occasionally some lamb because I can, but rarely). I pick the vegetarian option if I'm going to an event because it's safer and I cook a lot of vegetarian food. I've had blood tests done every 6 months-1 year since I was…

Been here for a bit, and the friends I do have keep me motivated, but I would love to add more! I log every day!

So... my scale broke. I bought a new one and it has me 6 pounds heavier than my old broken one. I know I haven't actually gained any weight, but it's thrown all my goal numbers off and discouraged me so I'm going to restart my 12 weeks tomorrow with new goals and try to get re-motivated.

If you're changing (losing in my case) weight, do you calculate based on current weight, goal weight, or something in-between? Since I'm dropping fairly rapidly rn does that mean that next week I should eat less protein than this week?

You can eat chocolate cake for breakfast and lose weight if you stay under your calorie goal. Carbs don't matter. Macros matter in that they will make you feel better and gain muscle mass, but for pure weight loss, you could eat 1500 calories of milkshakes and candy and drop the pounds.

I have IBS (C tending with those lovely swings to D every so often) and I found the magic cure for me... water. Lots and lots of water. I had a horrible UTI that was antibiotic resistant in January and the only thing that made life tolerable was drinking more water than I thought would fit in me. I averaged around 4-5L a…

I've already got a water thing that works for me, but I want to wish you luck on your challenge! I started drinking a minimum of 3 Liters of water daily (I use a 1L water bottle and usually drink closer to 4L because of water that I drink from cups and don't count) and I crave it at this point. I'll admit, I started…

When you get frustrated because the tare button keeps wearing out on your food scales and you don't want to buy new ones so you just have to push it harder and start using coins or pens to assist your righteous efforts.

I'm in college and I use the Athletic Center, so either $0 a month or about $5,000 a month, depending on how you want to calculate it. That comes with 2 pools, standard gym equipment, some classes, and a giant beautiful campus with miles of walking paths.

Thanks for the suggestions! Slightly amusing update: I read the "work out" suggestions and decider to ignore them because they sounded awful at the time but, just as I resolved to ignore them, fire alarm went off at work (false alarm) and since I work on the top floor that meant going down and back up 14 flights of stairs…

OP, you seem confused about how burning calories works. Your body naturally burns over 2,000 (assuming the numbers you gave on here are accurate and your MFP account is set to sedentary) calories each day. Those are calories you will burn if you are just sitting on the couch doing nothing. Your body is doing a lot of stuff…
