2001 days today! (I miss my newsfeed.)
-
Hey friend! I was already on LoseIt for logging, now MFP lost me… I keep checking in to see if some kind of newsfeed comes back. So sad, I just hit 2000 days here. I think one of the LoseIt groups from here is called MFP Exodus. @MFP what a mistake you’re making.
-
Here to agree and support! I’m done with MFP now without my newsfeed and connection to friends. I’ll keep hoping and checking to see if it comes back. If you’re listening, MFP, you lost me.
-
This!! ^ Well said.
-
Just stopping by to say that my newsfeed and my friends here were the only reason I stick with MFP. I log food in another app. Having my cheering squad of friends, some I’ve known for years, being inspired by them, being there to support others… I’m so sad to lose my friends and support group. if you’re listening,…

5-6 days of cross fit is probably over-training. Without rest and recovery your body will be in constant repair mode, which for many women can translate to hunger and trouble losing. Maybe swap in some recovery workouts? Just IMO.

Trying to get back on track for a cut/lean out. Glad this group is going strong! Since puffing up from stress snacking 2020 - 2021, I’ve started most weeks / days out strong but by the days end… ugh. So my maintenance skills are ok, it’s only 10 lbs and I’ve been strength training the whole time. I have to get in the right…

Weight was trending down 1 lb after a quick drop and evening out. But today I'm back where I started. My plan is to just stop touching the foods that have been triggering these failures. After succeeding and maintaining for almost two years, I thought I was beyond this and could finally moderate all the things. Well, I…

I'll join! Still struggling to drop this covid weight gain and I'm SO with you, maintenance felt better 10 lbs ago. I'm down two this week, and want to keep it up.

Wrote a vent post. Edited to delete. TLDR I have trouble shaking off people's awful comments sometimes!

March results: LW: 125 SW 3/1: 141 CW 3/31: 140.1 Goal: 129 Got down to 138 and went back up. Having trouble staying in that calorie deficit. I keep making excuses to re-feed and I need to stop. So I’m looking more objectively at my pre-pandemic habits, versus where I slipped this past year. It felt really hard losing…
-
I’m with you! After two years of maintaining around 130 and pretty lean, I basically de-comped over this past year with fewer weights to use at home and much less dedicated cardio. And stress eating. All the stress eating. Up 10 but at least I kept training with a modified lifting / body weight exercise program. I’m…

5'6" CW 141 Up from 125 lowest March Goal 136 3/10 - 138 3/15 - 142 3/16 - 140 I had an amazing two weeks, staying on schedule with running and lifting workouts and logging. But somehow I crashed this past Friday and came to my senses Monday, just one of those emotional, feeling blagh weekends. Did I over train? If so, my…

5'6" CW 141 Up from 125 lowest March Goal 136 I was very happy between 130-135 / where I maintained around for almost two years and focused on body fat, not weight. Ugh this has been a rough time! I'm ready to put this year and weight re-gain behind me.
-
I recomped for 2 years at a higher weight than I wanted to be at. It was quite by accident. First I lost a bit, then had success with lifting as I aimed for a small deficit and mostly hit maintenance. It felt very healthy to get stronger, look better, and be eating well, and enough. Looking back, it was successful and I…

Checking in: 11/1 (5'6") 139.9 11/8. 137.7 11/9. 139.5. Worked hard last week, logged every bite, added more sprinting and longer jogs than I needed to. The scale moved down but back up after a refeed. I am not going to run for a few days, the recovery makes me so hangry... but I still want my running skills and endurance…

Hello and happy fall! I lost my inspiration somewhere this summer. I was missing the vibes of the gym and the beach I guess. So here I am after being gone too long. This month I'll just cut and get my weight trend moving downward again. Goal for now is the high end of maintenance range, 5 lbs down from here @5'6", 139.9.…
-
It would be $80 for me! Love that shifting price point. A few years ago I was happy to pay, then it started crashing. A lot. So I'm hesitant to pay again even though I miss ad-free. I'm actually logging food elsewhere.
-
@weatherking2019 Thank you, you got the full post, haha. I think his intentions do come out all wrong. He offends when he doesn't mean to, maybe his point is for me to lighten up about my body shape. I'm really sensitive since this path to being fitter has been so much trial and error and self esteem work too. I like when…
-
Are you getting enough rest/recovery? It's SO important. Let those muscles grow with adequate rest so they can become better fuel burning machines for you. I couldn't believe my results when I got injured and was forced to quit cardio and train carefully every other day, max. It taught me the power of rest.
-
If your hubs thinks it’s fair and he’s not upset at your request, you’re very lucky! Take advantage of this extra support. I never had that help, and we had some good arguments in the beginning, when I first started tackling my binge eating and night eating. But I’m the only one responsible for what I put in my body. You…

If fat acceptance and body positivity increase someone's self-respect, that can only be good for the world. We each have different ways to accept ourselves and breed positivity. As far as the health implications of obesity, someone else's weight and body fat are part of their own private health information. I don't know…

My experience lifting with structural back issues: I have a disc bulge and SI joint problems but wanted to continue lifting. I saw an orthopedic doctor who gave me this assessment. He referred me to physical therapy and communicates with my PT when needed. The PT gave me corrective exercise and reviewed my lifting plan,…

I've been lifting for 22 months, basically in maintenance (or accidental bulk/cut cycles, not sure which) after dropping 10 lbs of of baby weight. It's been a long recomp.
-
Are you recomping? Or trying to build?
-
+1, add some tendonitis. Thanks for this post, I hope it raises awareness. I’m still paying for my years of mistakes and frustration. More folks need to take it slow and steady. Go hard like an athlete if that’s your thing, but remember that most athletes aren’t in a constant deficit, and that they build in time for rest…
-
Yes absolutely. I was two lbs from "goal" and within a healthy maintenance range in April. But this happens a lot: I feel good and look ok, and kind of relax because my original motivation is gone. There's no discomfort of being overfat, or of feeling awful, and those discomforts are big drivers of my efforts. I guess I…

I don't see how vegan and Paleo would work! What is left to eat? If legumes work for you I would say, eat them.
-
I usually un-bloat about two days after my cycle starts, usually a 3-5lb shift. Maddening I know.
-
I lose easily on under 100 carbs. I don't eat low fat. When it's working I find myself hitting lower carb numbers after a while without really trying. I have to get back to that place right now!
