I'm going to ask a question and make a suggestion..… first.... how under control/well managed is your ADHD? I ask this because you say you dopamine seek a lot. If your answer is "not very" (and be truly honest with yourself) then you really should work on that before looking at losing weight. Weight gain is a very common…

Yep, I'm having the same issue on my android app. I can get to the posts, but when I try to go into a post to read it, there is nothing there. I had to go to the web version to access community posts.

Bring food with you.

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/49007321#Comment_49007321 Yeah, the majority of men interpret a simple smile as an invitation. Couple that with the fact that many of us grew up as little girls with random strange grown men telling us "smile more!!!! You look soooooo much prettier when you…

@longrun22 it doesn't necessarily make you a creep or a jerk unless you included a weird or creepy message with it. Just understand that most people on here, particularly women, will not respond to random friend requests from men because most people on mfp don't use it as social networking. We use it to track calories.…

I'm not really sure what to make of it, honestly. It really just sounds like a keto diet.

"Well to burn fat you have to expend glycogen stores in your muscles and liver before fat is used as fuel (unless you're sleeping or at rest)." I'm going to push back against this a bit. You ABSOLUTELY DO NOT need to expend your glycogen stores to burn fat. Your body will burn a combination of both throughout the day. And,…

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10959329/weight-gain The simple answer is that exercise alone does not cause weight loss. This is because our bodies are very, very good at compensating for any calories we burn during exercise by resting more and eating more. You have to maintain a calorie deficit. No easy…

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10959229/still-hungry-on-1200-calories Easy answer is to switch to only losing half a pound per week. This will give you 250 more calories per day and will be more sustainable.

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/48998940#Comment_48998940 True. It started with gen z, other people have picked it up

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/48998764#Comment_48998764 Big back is the gen z way to say fat. So she's saying perimenopausal fat women.

Yeah, you need to eat more. That's not enough and will be difficult to stick with it. Why exactly aren't you eating more? It sounds like you're willing to eat a variety of foods. Just start adding more food into your day. Sounds like you're trying to do low carb. If that's too restrictive for you, don't do it. You can eat…

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10959135/new-here-and-definitely-need-help It might help to know what your picky about when it comes to food. In the end, its all about tracking your calories and staying within your calorie range. If you eat mainly high calorie foods, that will likely be more difficult.…

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/48996399#Comment_48996399 I think that makes so much sense, now that I think about it

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/48994295#Comment_48994295 I literally had this conversation with a co-worker of mine I eat lunch with who is a fair amount larger than me. I mentioned that I eat pretty big meals cause I get really hungry by lunch and dinner. She agreed and was very surprised that I…

It's definitely doable. I'm 5 ft, so I know what its like trying to lose weight as a petite individual. You will have to get really honest with yourself, or you'll never see any progress. First, 1 pound a week is too aggressive for people like us. Aim for .5 pounds per week at most. Try the calories mfp gives you for you…

It depends. How much weight do you have to lose overall? Just 10 pounds? Then yes, it's possible but not particularly safe and definitely at a high risk of immediately regaining it as soon as you lose it. .5 to 1 pounds per week is a more sustainable, healthier goal.

And please do come back and check in after your cruise.

You can absolutely reasonably lose a couple pounds by the 19th... but I would focus on tracking and not worry too much about the weight until you get back from the cruise. Go on the cruise, enjoy it, eat all the great food, and then come back and buckle down on tracking every day.

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/48985856#Comment_48985856 I will add (just for the benefit of the OP and any newbies reading) it really is recommended to eat at least 1200 calories if you are a woman, and 1500 calories if you are a man.

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10958746/hungry-while-dieting Are you eating too many of your calories early in the day, leaving you hungry in the evening? I agree that if we knew how many calories you are eating, that might help.

Look Into strength training. You'll need access to some weights. Do you go to the gym? If not, you can buy a set of 10 pound dumb bells. Do some squats, chest presses, biceps curls, tricep curls. Look up some different exercises.

You don't. There's nothing on here to track glp-1, and it would be irrelevant to tracking calories anyway.

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10958732/my-recipes-function Try using meals instead of recipes. I think it keeps all the ingredients there and able to modify as needed.

My unpopular opinion of the day: if you are keto or carnivore and drink alcohol.… but go around telling everyone that carbs are the problem... I think you lack basic cognitive and reasoning skills. My second super unpopular opinion of the day: menopause is not causing your weight gain and making it impossible to lose…

There is so much going on with this that I want to address 1:you say you love in a camper so no space to workout. Work out outside. Walk, run, play dance workout videos on your phone. Whatever. All these things can be done outside. 2: we're talking 10 pounds. I think you need to really focus on improving your body image.…

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10958662/how-to-maintain-and-stop-losing How long have you been at 1750 calories and still losing weight? If it's more than a week or 2, I would up your calories just a little bit more. Assuming you don't want to lose any more weight. And remember maintenence your weight…

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/48985873#Comment_48985873 118 is a perfectly reasonable goal for 5 ft (I'm 5 ft as well). Like I mentioned before, as a petite girl it's really important to take it slide, think no more than .5 pounds per week. As Ann says, no need to make it miserable.

Honestly, you're unlikely to lose a full 25 pounds by your birthday, but you could reasonably lise around 12. Which would still be really good. After all, you don't want to just turn right around and regain the weight the day after your birthday, right? You can lose weight with just dietary changes. Find your calorie range…
