Thanks, I am. I feel it deep down. And MFP has certainly been a way to help me focus. I got rid of my other social media accounts, shut them down in January. I need all the clarity I can get. I was diagnosed with ADD several years ago. Honestly though, I really think that is just a symptom of my current lifestyle and old…

I hope so! So far the plan has been to log into MFP everyday, lol. This week though I started presetting and logging my OMAD meals the night before. I don't want surprises the next day at the last moment when I'm not thinking straight and just want to dig in. I only made one last minute change due to having a bad spring…

Thank you!

Hello Shannon! I just started OMAD today. I just found the MFP OMAD group this evening. And now I've just found your journal. And guess what?.... I am Vegan :smile: So it's extra awesome to meet you! :smile: Reading through some of this thread, we sound very similar too. Five years ago I lost 60+lbs from a juice fast,…

Hello all, My Current Weight is 215 lbs My Height is 5'5" I turn 39 next month and I have been overweight most of my life starting at the age of 9. I have Yo-Yoed down 60+lbs at least twice as an adult. Name the diet and I have done it. They all work. I have no problems with programs. My problem is sticking to routine and…

Yeah, I have to give what you've said a bit of credit. I may in fact be misguiding myself with lethargy from undereating at times and certain nutrition deficiencies, iron being a big one. And then translating that into believing I'm Sedentary. PERFECT! THANK YOU!

Yeah, that's the thing. I had wanted to do what MFP suggested, but now with the fitbit numbers showing up and the extra calorie burning coming into play, it's all getting just a bit jumbled. Not to mention the fact that I follow a vegan diet (as you saw) which is a whole other can of worms that I don't really want to open…

I walk up to an hour a day which is 400 calories, rebounding is another 200 a day, and the next two months has me cleaning, moving and selling my home to move my family overseas on top of that. So I'm expecting to be in the 1,000 calorie ballpark. You're right, I am heavier at 215 lbs. And really I could cut back on the…

I'm 5'5" 215 lbs. I told MFP I was pretty lazy (for now), but I know that when I get in the mental groove I work really really hard. I have the mesomorph shape, tendancies, and am quite strong with a 300lb deadlift, if that says much. The issue is I don't know how much deficit is too much for me. And about where I should…

Oh, and MFP said 1200, but I'm doubting that after just 1 day with my fitbit. Mind you, I have dieted, lost weight, yoyo-ed, and had periods of hard training for almost 25 years. I thought I knew it all and yet I have to think I know nothing because I've never sustained a great loss more than 6 months.

Ok, so I told MFP I wanted to lose 2 lbs a week and that I was as lazy as heck. Which I truly believe I am most days. However now that I've added the Fitbit into the equation, I'm getting me a little tripped up. 1) I may not be all that lazy. 2) Which numbers do I follow so that I don't get tired....I think you may have…

Ok, good things to know. You're right, I forgot all about TDEE. Which now leads to another question. As of two days ago, I got a fitbit alta hr to track all day and night. I know you can do a bunch of math to figure out TDEE, but the calorie burn that gets spit out at the end of the day on the Alta is my actual TDEE, is it…

To add on, I actually do want to know approximately where my calories are falling, but only when I am NOT eating all raw foods. The trouble is, I can make my cooked foods too savory sometimes and that is a trigger for me to overeat. I'm am not however greatly concerned with being 100% calorie precise or worried about macro…

I'm just gonna throw this out there.... I have been professionally diagnosed as having ADD. Not counting and worrying about calorie tracking has been the most important thing for my past and current successes. When I track I am good for only so long, about 2-3 weeks, before I grow complacent with it and distracted and then…

I need Vegan friends :-) I am vegan for a year straight now. Prior to that I was on/off for several years. I have 0 experience with MFP, but I know that social groups help with weightloss. Add me if you like!
