3 lb in one week? new exercise regimen could mean holding water weight and all that. If you are talking about gaining weight while logging at a deficit these past two months though: you are eating more than you think. At 5'9 your maintenance calories should be high enough though :/ Could you open your diary so that people…

Thank you for taking the time to give the whole backstory. You could have started at this year's january and we would have one of those nice success stories that completely hides all the difficulty that it takes to maintain day in day out overtime. Thanks for the inspiration and Good luck with maintenance this time around!

Yes x3... barely!!

@craigo3154 Still waiting for some pictures of Madrid :-)

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes. Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes. Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes. I do read most posts and I know a lot of people do; I appreciate all the "hugs" I received when I mentionned I was sick.

Yes x3 Felt slightly better today, enough to actually step out and have a quick stroll

2nd Pass I couldn't exercise because I have a nasty flu! Calories: Yes honestly way too little; no appetite Tracked: Yes

Go read the list's on pg1 Bump Time

Pumpkin pie is totally worth the calories and the pass in my book. Hope you enjoyed it

@victorious55 thanks for sharing those desk exercises. I needed some stretching today and I didn't think to look for "desk" stretches. Exercise: Yes - stretching which I really needed with a FitnessBender video Within budget: Yes largely under- Probably coming down with a cold. Sneezing + runny nose since midday and I…

More like 9 kgs. The app is great. The community is great. Welcome!

Thanks for sharing the great fall picture @RangerRickL. @w8goal4life your pictures are amazing! And even more amazing that you are hiking through that! October 3 Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes. 60 minutes brisk walk Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Sadly no... fell short by 75 cals. All due to…

What nobody told you about losing weight: that you'd lose friends alongside the weight. I am sure it was all worth it

@PrettyLight111 I haven't done WW. What I can say though is MFP doesn't help you plan your meals. That can be daunting. It is total accountability. I had a piece of white chocolate and black coffee this morning. Totally up to me what I eat within my daily allowance. You've done WW so it seems you've learnt a few things and…

Thought the leaves would be changing colors by now. No? I love the fall season. Sadly there is no fall where I am right now. I read through yesterday check-ins and it is very motivating. Everybody is just killing it! Thanks for motivating me to up my exercise! Exercise? yes - 30 min walk Calorie? yes Tracked everything? yes

I carry very little weight on my waist. I can be overweight and still pass the string test. But I definitely completely fail when I am obese (like now... sadly). But... I would prefer an absolute number. Some people can be tall and carry most of their weight around the waist... Aren't they at risk just the same?

I started with a good NSV today. I tried on some outfits that I couldn't zip up a few weeks ago and they fit!! Tight but comfortable fit. Also I wasn't particularly hungry today. Last couple of weeks I had been really really hungry and just didn't know when that would become bearable. It has finally

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes! I normally walk outside in the morning but it was raining this morning. Normally I wouldjust skip the day but this challenge well... challenged me to do something. I found a 20 mins Leslie Sansone video on YouTube and added a few calisthenics. Did I stay within my calorie budget…

My petty reason no.1 is a closet full of (size 8) clothes that I can't wear. Starting a new job soon and not wanting to buy fat clothes when I have perfectly great barely worn clothes already. Also, to be looked at as the beautiful one instead of dismissed as the fat one

Perfect for me as I have decided to not track my weight, but rather trust the process itself: move more (this challenge will encourage me to something daily), eat less (I do track my calories), and just track results by clothes feel and weekly measurements.

I don't know how to link this post from the app. So use the search function to look it up. Here is the title Carbs and Fats are cheap. Here's a Guide to getting your PROTEIN's worth. Fiber also.
