Yeah, what was the thing? Maybe we can find the log for you, and then tell you precisely HOW we found it so you can use the same search method in the future. ETA: It's similar to the difference in results you might get if you search "Peyton Manning" instead of "Peyton Manning, State Farm insurance, agent". We can probably…

I would also note OP that for me, working out in the evening burns way more calories than working out in the morning seems to. I have the Charge 2 (with HR monitoring) and before I had the Charge Hr (both fitbit) and without variance, working out in the evening over the past full year I've been doing this has caused a…

More clarifying info: I never had a junk food problem to begin with. I ate pretty much what healthy people all eat, I just ate too much of it. I don't like candy bars but once a yearish, I don't really like cake or cookies all that much. I like green beans. I like fish. I have a natural taste preference for the "healthier"…

I was and usually am fine on 1200 a day, but I'm TINY. No average-sized person should go this low. And as I get closer to goal even I don't. If you can't lose on 1400 or higher, you aren't mathing correctly.

God no. I would have quit ages ago if I couldn't eat what I wanted. I eat what I always ate, with some additions, I just eat considerably less of it and have lost 28lbs this way. ETA: And I'd give you my left leg if you could find any single definition for what "clean eating" is, because different sources list totally…

^ The scientific method isn't what's flawed here. People's limited ability to conceive of what the results actually mean is. I'm frequently one of those people, so I'm not pointing fingers here, I'm just saying. The problem isn't with "science" it's with how it's communicated to the public that's to blame. ETA: @psulemon…

HEY FELLOW INTJ's Here's something funny to brighten your day. https://www.buzzfeed.com/newu1671/80-signs-youre-an-intj-cz0z#.wcL9K0nL8

Introvert(67%) iNtuitive(75%) Thinking(100%) Judging(44%) INTJ female. So, a Unicorn essentially.

From 9/24/15 to 10/24/15 I lost 15.5 lbs. I imagine a rather large portion of that was water, so don't apply this exact number to yourself and then get disappointed if you don't get it. Also note at the time I had about 70lbs to lose, and when you're very big, you tend to lose very quickly in the beginning.

While it is obviously possible to lose weight completely independent of exercise, the exercise portion isn't just about losing weight. Most people use it because they know that they need a full lifestyle make-over or they will just put the weight right back on. They need to alter their daily habits to include activity…

I find that if I am active enough during the day, I am too beat to get out of bed for anything. Like, I must REALLY have to use the bathroom like it's an emergency before I bother getting out of bed. Hunger, thirst, doesn't really matter, if I am being as active as I aught to be, I'm too tired to handle that in the middle…

Boo>:( for the calories in a salad that won't satisfy me, I can have several things that will. Salad or no salad is totally a preference thing. Food isn't good or bad except in the context of an individual diet.

Mine is fine. My husband's was all messed up. Go into the app, menu, scroll down to steps and make sure that the source of step count is set to fitbit, then force close and reopen the app. It will probably correct itself by midnight. My husband's didn't show anything in the exercise calories for the day we did that, but…

Nothing necessarily on topic here, cause you've already been answered, but I wanted to say this for everyone's sake: Please enough with the apologizing for talking about "icky" period stuff or menopause or whatever. You do not have to apologize for bringing up something that some people mistakenly find icky that really…

MFP groundhog day. Because weight loss is caused by a calorie deficit, which, while a calorie deficit CAN be created by working out more, more often is created by tracking how much you eat and how much you burn and by eating less than the latter #. So people will say "weight loss happens in the kitchen" and what you said…

I can't find it or anything that sounds like it and now I'm looking in the mirror questioning reality and aliens and false memories. Dang. Oh well.

Is it still rising? I could swear I saw an article recently that said it was finally plateauing (giggle) but I cannot remember where. Must go find.... also pretty sure it was for one single age group... hopefully kids..

Sometimes they don't come back. *shrug*

Funny, it seems even the CDC can't get their numbers narrowed down "More than one-third (36.5%) of U.S. adults have obesity. [Read CDC National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) data brief PDF-704KB]" "Non-Hispanic blacks have the highest age-adjusted rates of obesity (48.1%) followed by Hispanics (42.5%), non-Hispanic…

2 lbs is a TOTALLY normal fluctuation. Don't panic. 3-5 lbs is a normal fluctuation frankly. You're gonna hold water sometimes. Maybe you had a high salt intake day, which makes you hold water weight. And regardless of the reason, weight just fluctuates, on it's own, without you having to do anything wrong. Now if you were…

I find maintaining easy. I recently took about a six month break from losing and just maintained after a 28lb lost. I didn't really log, I just ate with that thought in the back of my head not to eat as much as I wanted to. I knew my body wanted me to gain the weight back and I simply chose to ignore it and always stop…

Water weight is pretty common and caused by MULTIPLE things. You can hold water due to: 1. Heavy salt intake one day or often 2. Starting a new exercise routine or increasing the intensity of current exercise 3. Being female and having a monthly cycle 4. getting sick with something as small as a mild cold, if you're doing…

GAWD wouldn't that be nice? I wish we got some sort of bump from that, I dunno if we do. It feels like the guys have it easier because of their (statistically more likely to have) greater muscle mass. I want a girl-card benefit.

THIS.

Banana, all the way. If you have no medical condition that precludes you from enjoying whatever sugar level you so desire, a banana is a great easy food for a quick burst of energy and a number of good nutrients. If you'er lacking in a macro, you can do a quick google search for "foods high in X" to get some good ideas.

The first thing I could ask is this: Are you addressing the emotional turmoil that causes you to binge? Cause in many of the cases of this I read on here, the success stories, the first step people had to take was to address the underlying issue before they addressed how they were self-medicating it, which in your case is…

I think you know that's not what I meant. I certainly hope you know that. A donut is not invariably a bad food. Again, it's within the context of one's diet and preferences. I am also a big fan of having your hormones checked, especially thyroid because I have some experience with the terrible effect a malfunctioning…

I find "cheat" days just screw up my deficit and make me hungrier the following few days. It's easier for me to maintain my deficit without feeling like I'm not getting enough if I just do the same thing every day.

Also, have you had your thyroid checked lately? HypERthyroidism can cause unexplained weight loss and inability to gain weight. If you're losing weight, not on purpose, and don't know why, this could be a thing for you. My husband had that and had to have his thyroid removed because he was 5'11" and 120 lbs. A bmi similar…
