That's why I went with OXO - it has a pull-out display.

My go-to when it's going to be a lower calorie beer is Guinness Draught. It still tastes like something.

+1 for consulting your physician.

I've been using an OXO Good Grips 5# scale for the last five years. It's great.

I recently got an Oster "pro" 1200 to replace a leaky Bausch and it works the best of any blender I've had. HOWEVER ... my cat fished the rubber gasket out of the dish drainer and dropped it down to my dog, who wrecked it. I thought replacing it would be easy (it's an Oster not some weird brand) but it turns out this…

In his Facebook group Lyle McDonald said in March "Full diet break simply needs to have at least 150 g/day [of carbs] for hormonal reasons and it's more that calories need to come back up to maintenance." In terms of sodium levels, I would think that "normal diet" levels would be most appropriate as you'll not be shedding…

The dizzy/blah feelings are unlikely side effects to atorvastin (Lipitor) but if an unlikely side effect is affecting you then for your purposes it's 100%. (Edited to add that atorvastin also lowers triglycerides which might be a reason your medical provider chose that particular drug.) Interestingly, some statins…

Feel better soon :)

Chicken wings have more fat per gram than other parts of the chicken (https://www.fsis.usda.gov/shared/PDF/Chicken_Turkey_Nutrition_Facts.pdf) The range of calories for homemade chicken broth that I have seen is 30-85 calories/8 oz - quite a difference. What I would do is chill the strained broth and then skim the…

If you're a menstruating female, it can take a full cycle to really evaluate the data, especially if your deficit is modest.

What's does "everything" consist of, besides lamb?

It can work fine - just keep track of your scale data and how you feel. If you are feeling fine, sleeping well, and maintaining a reasonable weight loss (or maintaining if that is your goal) then there is no reason to worry. You can make a change down the road if your data or how you feel indicates some adjustments are…

Maintenance for me has involved periodic bouts of slight-deficit eating to stay within a range over time.

It's not "bad" for you. Yes, it's person-made from these ingredients: Water, Soy Protein Concentrate, Coconut Oil, Sunflower Oil, Natural Flavors, 2% or less of: Potato Protein, Methylcellulose, Yeast Extract, Cultured Dextrose, Food Starch Modified, Soy Leghemoglobin <--I am assuming that's the stuff that makes it look…

To add to the above, yes it's that easy. And as you drop the pounds, you will be utilizing fewer calories so you may find that at some point you need to eat less than 2000 calories/day to continue losing. As you drop weight, update MFP :)

imperial pint = 19.2 oz & US pint = 16 oz

Using "happy scale" to note trends has been really helpful - those normal pounds fluctuations smoothed out over weeks and months helped me identify when I needed to tighten up a bit - and I can see with a year's data now that I have been "maintaining." It's more useful if I have more data points and so I weigh in a few…

The strength metric concerns me a bit - is it a temporary thing perhaps brought about by not enough rest/recovery between sessions or changes in your lifting routine? Is it under-fueling? Another thought I had was to look at the content of what you are eating as well as what your calorie estimate is. There's good data that…

Add calories, OP. Unless you are consuming a lot of caffeine or using some kind of "fat burner" (they're bogus but people take them) that is revving you up, your problems sleeping are due to too little food.

@mistymcnew How's day 4 going?

Nope

The first thing to do is to go to the "pinned" posts at the top. I suggest reading the "step by step guide" as a way to get oriented. Plug in your current info and your goal - lose, gain, or maintain - and MFP will set a calorie goal to meet for the day. Or, you could just keep your current food intake pattern going to see…

You can do this!

If your back is hurting like hades in the prone position, it's just a sign that your core needs strengthening & you already know that :) So start at an incline (modified planks, as noted in the video above). If you have a flight of stairs, using them is a good way to find the angle to start and then step down (see what I…

What are your goals, OP?

Your MFP calculations maybe taking into account "expected" level of activity when calculating calories for "steps" and it will vary over the day. Is your AW calculation "activity calories" for the day? If so then the # includes all activity (wild gesticulation, e.g. :smiley: ) in addition to "steps." If your AW calculation…

This might help if the issue is that your watch needs to be recalibrated - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204516

You look great! Congratulations on your hard work :)

Thoughts? You're doing great. Advice? Keep it up.

It's great you're choosing to get a handle on this now. If you track your food for a couple of weeks without making any changes, I bet that you can find some small adjustments each day that will feel relatively painless. If you meet a first goal of stopping any further gain, that's a big win. Gradually increasing…
