Heybales, you are a pro. Thank you for explaining the science behind all your replies. I'm learning, so much appreciated. AnnPT: Thank you for the links and your knowledge around protein macro amounts. You've spurred me to re-evaluate and read more on macro counts. Thank you for the links and food recommendations.

Ok MFP, Long read warning! I figured I'd give my monthly update and request for help. A mix of so-so news, but also huge epiphanies. If you want to cut to the chase and help me answer some questions, please go allll the way to the bottom. Everything in the middle is describing my journey in figuring things out!…

Heybales, Thanks for your reply. There were several things I read that intrigued me esp towards the end of your email and I think this was an epiphany of sorts. Would you mind mind reading my responses and questions to your reply to me? My response: For a few days, I did weigh what I ate. But admittedly it got really…

PAV8888: Yeah, I agree lbs-wise, it was a very small movement. However as mentioned as soon as I started MFP again and followed the calorie recommendations, my weight just jumped up a lot faster than I wanted. I am glad though that I started to adjust downwards because at this point I believe 1,500 is probably too high…

Swirlybee: I'm doing Krav Maga. Our online sessions are mainly punch/kick combos, but a lot of pushups, situps, burpees, etc. Some days are lighter where we do hand to hand simulation/scenarios, but those are pretty light. I've downward adjusted the time to 30 minutes, which shows 365 cals burned. I'm going to stick with…

Hi team, Ok so I've logged 25 days so far since 5/5 and my experience (3rd attempt using MFP) has mirrored my last 2 attempts: my weight went up. I logged my weight on a separate spreadsheet and here's the results: 5/05/2020 159.0 5/11/2020 161.2 5/15/2020 160.1 5/15/2020 160.5 5/20/2020 162.4 5/21/2020 162.3 5/22/2020…

Sijomial: I've adjusted the weight loss to 1lb a week as others recommended. Thank you for the explanation of 500 cals = 1lb

PAV8888: Yes, correct and I didn't write correctly: I'm overweight (on the high end), not on the high end of obese. Thank you for your detailed response. I appreciate the time you took to write all of this, including running the SBMI calc. I'm going to check that out. I definitely need to get better at nutrition, but I…

Thank you both for responding. I revised my settings and it still says 1,500. So 1,500 it is. Yirara: yes, your description is pretty spot on. I am flabby. I can feel my muscles underneath my flab, esp my gut. Though it pained me to see it, I set up my Gopro and worked without a shirt. I'm aghast. I would though dispute…

Voielactee0387: I did Optavia too over a year ago. I dropped weight quickly (170 to 155) within a month's time, but the weight slowly crawled up to about 158-160 and despite staying on it for a total of 3 months, I didn't see any more weight loss. The good thing though was it got rid of that 170lbs I was stuck on because I…
