If you are trying to lose and you've said 2 lbs per week the minimum it'll give you is 1200 calories. How much weight have you said you want to lose/gain?

Nope. I would miss out on too many foreign foods although luckily, @johnslater461, I would be able to still eat the charcuterie (I don't eat charcuterie actually), the haricot vert and the chateau de lavernette above. I'll pass on the poutine though. As @MzBaz0918 above I am not healthier than the average person (actually…

I was going to say "also a Southerner here" but wait nope; I am a couple of degrees above the equator. But I weigh my food in grams. I do use lbs for weight because I can lose "more" faster ;) And I use miles for walking because the numbers are not as high therefore not as daunting

@craigo3154 Thanks for sharing this. I don't have any health issue so sometimes it can seem abstract that weight is a major health risk. Stories like your wife's make it more real. @victorious55 I read those stats and a lot of them talk about success if you've intentionnally lost at least 10% of body weight and kept it off…

It would barely be noticeable I think. I don't necessarily feel hungrier before TOM, but I am definitely more tired during. No I don't log that "increase". I have lost weight before and over a long enough period it averaged to what was expected

Exercise: Yes. Trying some YouTube videos to see if something appeals to me. Calories: Yes Tracked: Yes

Nov 5 Exercised: Yes Calories: Yes Tracked: Yes I was invited out for lunch today. I skipped breakfast, anticipating high calories lunch. We ended up going to a buffet so I was able to select options that fit within my calories budget. And to track it all. And also the beer I had for "dinner" :-(

I do a lot of Leslie Sansone at the moment. Walk at Home. With some variety of moves to keep it interesting. She breaks it down per mile so you can chose to do 1, 2, 4, whatever depending on how long you have. FitnessBlender has tons of videos as well. From 5 minutes to 1 hour. They are very thorough. In the title or at…

November 4 Exercised: Yes. First 5 miles walk in more than two years Under calories: Yes. I prelog to avoid surprises. I realize that "mindlessly" eating for me now is weighing food, and eating before logging :) Tracked: Yes A friend from abroad is in town and invited me for lunch tomorrow. At least he called beforehand so…

@Turbolifts dried fruits are a total diet killer. I didn't realize. I was sooo tempted to eat some dates yesterday but I absolutely cannot eat just one. I still can't believe one tiny date is 65 calories! November 3 Exercise: Yes Calories: Yes - I was tempted for one minute to go over but... I didn't want to come and…

@craigo3154 Good luck on your drone race @stella7x7 Happy Birthday!! November 2 Exercise? Yes, 28 mins walk in the morning Calories? Yes Tracked? Yes Week-end is coming. Lots of baking planned; it'll be a challenge to track everything, I mean how do you not taste (and by taste I mean eat by the teaspoon) your cream cheese…

Isn't that annoying! :D I actually don't log my exercise on MFP - I walk less than 3 miles usually so it's not much in terms of calories. Sometimes I'll only log just enough minutes to "stay" under my calories, lol

Congratulations to all the October winners!!! November 1 Exercised?: Yes (3km walk + some bodyweight exercises) Calories?: Yes. I didn't undereat and was within calorie budget but for some reason I was super hungry. I will need to increase my proteins today. I don't eat nearly enough and that has a big impact on satiety…

Hi, my name is Jo (female). 2nd month in. I dropped out in October: had a very strong flu early in the month; later I had to travel and couldn't track. I turned 40 last year, had a challenging family situation and regained 35 lbs I had lost AND maintained for one year prior to that. So yes I am trying to lose weight. I am…

How much are you set to lose per week? If you are set to lose like 0.5 lbs per week, your loss could well be hidden in the normal day to day weight variations. When you say your weight has been "around the same" it means not exactly the same… Do you use a trend app? Is it trending down even by just a little bit?

FitnessBlender (on YouTube as many people have said) have lots of videos with dumbbells, some with exercise balls. I haven't checked for resistance band because I don't have those but it's totally possible they have that as well.

You don't get enough protein in your diet? Why do you take whey protein?

That's exactly my point. I would rather they'd said morbidity rather than mortality.

36 pounds is amazing. I am sure you can feel the difference. Good luck!

Welcome Have you set up your profile and goals? How are you tracking your food intake? Make sure you read the first posts especially in the "getting started" section https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10300331/most-helpful-posts-getting-started-must-reads#latest I found the various success stories very…

Welcome and Good luck.

Definitely read the posts in the "Getting started" section https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10041081/welcome-to-the-myfitnesspal-community#latest https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10300331/most-helpful-posts-getting-started-must-reads#latest

Yes x3 Oct 18 Yes x3 Oct 19 Next week I am traveling. Won't be able to track with any degree of accuracy... I'll resume in November hoping to have a better month.

Maybe they have very active lifestyles and don't need to "exercise". Unless you are a gym owner, the fact that people exercise outside of a gym shouldn't be shocking

I didn't post for the past two days? I guess... I was declaring my 4th day pass and it was a downer. But it was a choice. I still had a dry cough and runny nose and thought I'll eat a bit more, taken my medicine and completely rest. 15 + 16 Oct Oct Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? No Did I stay within my calorie…

Are you at least able to eat anything now? Hope you get well soon

Exercise - yes- 2 to 3 hours food prep, cooking + cleaning Calories - yes... I even logged cough syrup and cold medicine! I had never thought to do that before :smiley: Tracked - yes

Exercise -yes. Normally I would have taken my car to run my errands. But everything was within my neighborhood so I decided to walk instead... and it was drizzling too. Go me! 55 min walk Within calories - yes Tracked - yes

I feel so lazy reading your exercise schedule :smile: (in a motivating and inspiring way though)
