  • You can change it toward the top of the page. It says “Weekly View” just tap it and a drop down menu should show you a Day View option.

I lost almost 1 lb last week which is pretty good. I’m starting my 10K training plan today, which is step one in training for my half marathon in September. I’m pretty…
  • Weekly Weigh-In 12/31 - 147.5 01/07 - 146.2 01/14 - 145.1 01/21 - 144.4 01/28 - 144.0 Small loss this week. It would be nice if it was bigger. Just gotta keep going though. Doing my first 10K training run today! I’m pretty excited! I love that running gives me another goal to focus on other than weight loss.
  • I use Fitness Blender and Pop Sugar Fitness for cardio and strength training routines. Yoga with Adrienne for yoga. I also run so I get the majority of my cardio in that way. I find it's most motivating if I set fitness goals, then I feel like I'm actively working toward something and enjoy planning out my workouts and…
  • I also do Yoga with Adrienne. I should actually do it way more than I do because I always feel great afterwards.

  • There can be a process of trial and error figuring out how accurate (or inaccurate) MFP's calories are. But if you are exercising, especially with such a low calorie goal, then you need to eat back the calories you burned. But even if you ate back all 400 calories you would absolutely not gain weight, even if MFP is wrong…
  • I'm spending my Sunday planning out my workouts for the week. I'm starting my 10K training program tomorrow (step one in training for my half in September). I'm really excited to start building my mileage! I spent January just strengthening my base mileage since my running was really sporadic in 2018. Still trying to…
  • Having your routine thrown off is always frustrating. I really thrive with routine and do great while I have it but the moment it's thrown off I really struggle. You just have to do your best. This is a small blimp on your journey. When you are back from traveling you can get back to 100% until then you just do what you…
  • Yes, you should eat back your exercise calories. 1200 calories is the minimum calorie in-take for females. So you need to net above 1200 just to meet your basic nutritional needs. MFP is giving you 1260 as what you need to eat to lose 2 lbs a week, the 400 exercise calories you have create an even bigger (and generally…
  • I have a couple mini-goals right now: - Finishing the10K training plan I'm starting tomorrow (step one of training for my half in September) - Be in the 130s by the end of my 8 week 10K training plan (I'm at 144 now)
  • The best way to handle a day of over-eating is to just go back to your regular routine the next day. Getting into a pattern of binging then over restricting is dangerous and unhealthy. Let it go and move on.
  • Your goal is not healthy. If you are unhappy with how you look, look into recomp. You are at a very low weight for your height already. Building muscle and getting more fit is more likely to give you results you are happy with than being underweight is. I’m 5’0” I’ve lost 46 lbs already and am working toward losing another…
  • You can go in where you log your weight loss progress and delete that original entry.

  • Keto doesn’t work for me. It’s far too restrictive, I feel hungry all the time on it, and for some reason my anxiety really spikes. Basically, the couple times I tried it I was completely miserable. It works great for some people but I prefer a less restrictive approach.
  • Yes, MFP is set up for you to eat back any calories you burn through exercise.
  • You just need to go back to your normal routine. To have gained 5 lbs you would have needed to eat 17,500 calories above whatever your maintenance. I highly, highly doubt you did that. Even if you ate enough to gain 1 lb - so what? If you’ve been consistently eating in a calorie deficit before this then at worst you’ll…
  • 10 years ago I was gaining a lot of weight and pretty much in denial about it. Now I’m 45 lbs down with 25 lbs to go, signed up for a half-marathon in September and just getting my life back!
  • Got my 3 miles in this morning! I always used to feel like I was going to die pushing myself to do 3 miles, now it’s still hard but I definitely feel stronger and less like dying at the end of it! My favorite thing about running though is getting to eat more on run days! 1500 calories feels like so much when normally I’m…
  • I follow a few different women on Instagram. 2 are runners and a few do beach body, which I don’t do but I enjoy their posts, and one lost like 200 lbs. I don’t really follow them for anything other than some positivity and inspiration.
  • I would look for YouTube workouts you can do at home. I like Fitness Blender and Pop Sugar Fitness. You can find workouts of pretty much any length so just choose what you can fit in on that day. Or find a gym with a daycare.
  • My weight loss recently started to slow from 1.5-2lbs a week to 0.5-1 lb a week. I’ve lost 45 lbs and have 25 more to go. My weekly loss slowing down did seem to coinside with me starting to workout more consistently and vigorously. But that’s fine. Evercise is important and I don’t want to lose too much muscle mass so I’m…
  • It’s that time of the month again and the scale is refusing to budge! I’m doing a 3 mile run tomorrow morning. I’m feeling kinda bleh tonight so hopefully I will wake up in a better mood. I’ve been planning out my workouts for next month and I’m so ready to be done with 30 Day Shred and have some variety in my workouts.
  • What type of music do you usually listen to? My running playlist is just made up of upbeat songs that I typically listen to.
  • I’m training for a half-marathon and trying to lose about 25 lbs. I always eat back my calories burned from a run so that I’m properly fueling my runs. I’m still losing about 1 lb a week so it’s definitely possible. I’m still doing pretty short runs though - 4 miles is my longest.
  • I aim for between 1200-1300 on a non-workout day. On days I run I typically get an extra 200-300 calories. I’ve lost 45 lbs so far with another 25 to go!
  • I’m sure you could find walking exercise videos on YouTube. It’s great for at-home workouts. When I’m in a funk, pushing through definitely helps the most. If I don’t keep at it then the funk just lasts longer.
  • Sorry to hear about your job, that sucks. Exercise is a great stress reliever. A hard workout always leaves me feeling better afterward. I also think it helps to throw yourself into projects. Even if you don’t feel like it and would rather wallow - help your husband look for houses and get into the job search. Feeling…
  • The best thing is to find whatever works for you. When I don’t weigh daily, I just start lying to myself and slipping up. Weighing daily keeps me accountable and I don’t stress about the fluctuations - I know what’s just a normal fluctuation vs real gains where I need to start reevaluating my choices. Plus, I like having…
  • Weight loss is a long journey. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. You know why you keep getting stuck, you keep giving up when the weight loss slows. But if you keep giving up it takes even longer! You just have to keep going and the weight will come off. I used to always get “stuck” at the same number too. I’d stick with it…
