I'll probably use flax seeds. They absorb water in the mix and bind things just like eggs

Ballet and jazz on Monday's then all week I take dance class in my school which is a little of everything. We just had a fall dance concert and our piece was lyrical to the song rise up by Andra Day. I totally agree with you!! Go dance!!!

I had just come home from a trip to Europe with several food tours and felt bloated and was too scared and insecure to even think about stepping on the scale. My brother brought me home a huge doughnut from the city and I ate the whole thing even though I wasn't hungry at all. I then found a cookie from a bakery on the…

This is a rough outline but does this look ok? Tuesday: full body Wednesday: upper body Thursday: cardio at school and abs Friday: lower body/leg day Sat: rest Sunday: exercise class Monday: dance It may seem like too much with not enough rest but Monday would basically Be a rest day because dance is never intense or…

I haven't worked with a specific program or plan, that's what I'm looking for now, but I have experience with squats, deadlifts, bench, etc and can confidently do several sets of each with weights and maintain correct form.

Yes

I'm not a beginner and have a pretty strong muscle foundation right now. Would it make sense to do muscle group splits but each day also incorporate some full body moves?

Several people told me to provide more information: I'm pretty active and excercise regularly. I'd say I have a pretty strong muscle foundation right now and wouldn't call myself a beginner. I'm not severely overweight at all, just a little extra pudge in some areas I would prefer to tone. My weight has been fluctuating a…

My goals are weight loss and overall muscle toning and conditioning. I don't necessarily wanna bulk up or anything but getting stronger and more taut would be nice. Based on those goals, is mostly strength training okay? Or do I need more cardio? So it's better to do one full body workout every other day? I don't know why…

I've heard that coconut oil is the best because something unique about its composition makes it so your body doesn't store it as fat but instead burns it like carbs!

Mines open but I'm vegan so don't know if that's what you mean by normal...

If you've been doing the same fact workout since January, it makes sense if you've hit a plateau. Your body eventually adjusts to excercise and prevents further weight loss. Try changing up your routine

I'm vegan as well. I would love to be buddies and stalk each other's diaries and help you transition! Going plant based was the best decision I've ever made.

Thank you so much! I was definitely noticing something was off because I was eating all of those foods that you listed because they were what vegan blogs etc were telling me to. However I was never able to even come close to getting enough protein without going way over my calorie goal

Ok then I'm 5 foot 2, 126 pounds, I'm 18, my cal goal is 1300, and I'm pretty activity like it's something that I pay attention to a lot. I'll be a lot more active once lax season starts too. My goal weight right now is 120, but considering I don't have any visible results right now I'm probably going to have to lose more.…

I think that below goal could be because of a few reasons: 1. Whenever I DO hit my goal, my Fitbit app says that I've eaten too much even though I have them set with the exact same deficit. It's super upsetting when mfp says I've done well and Fitbit gives me a big red line so I try to be under. 2. Because of the reason…

I started losing weight at around the end of August. I'm pretty sure that I've hit a plateau because for the past two or three weeks my weight has been bouncing around the same area. I just wasn't sure if I'm supposed to see or feel and results yet besides the number dropping

Sorry, I'm kind of uninformed haha. What do you mean by stats? Should I be aiming to eat back exactly half my calories? Or less? My daily deficit is 750 I'm pretty sure, is that related?

Use the recipes setting!! Go to profile I think and then there's a section for meals, recipes, and food. You can add all of the ingredients and quantities and then click how many servings it made and it figures out cals for you

5/4 HW: 142 CW: 125 LW: 124 GW: 120 I know, mine isn't as huge as anybody else's, but still feels really important!! I'm super close and very happy:))

Thanks for everybody who has commented so far. I just wanted to summarize to make sure I understood all of the suggestions: First, I'll get rid of a lot of my junk food (not all, but the things that I'm consistently having problems with) Next, I'll edit my deficit and macros on mfp so that I'm eating less carbs and sugars…

So do you think it would be a good idea to lower carbs and increase fat and protein? I've noticed tons of breaking out too lately. I think this may be hard since fats and proteins are normally more calorie dense and I obviously like eating a lot of low calorie things haha but I think that doing so could really help this…

yes

This is kind of a stupid question but how do I respond to a person directly? I'm trying to respond to courtneyfabulous and can't figure out how (this is my first ever post haha). Anyway, Courtney, if you see this, I think that protein and fat may be a part of it and I've been looking at that more carefully lately. For…

I also may note that this has been an especially bad week for me. Normally on Sunday's I'll make a goal for the week like "No mindless eating whatsoever at any breakfast this week" or the same thing for dinner. I can almost always keep with these goals and I feel really proud. This week, however, I messed up at almost…
