Ugh, you're right, sorry. I'm very tired today, all over the place. I'm usually not this airheaded, I swear. Deadlifts are fine, because the movement is very simple and my legs are strong. But I also only do one set. I did 55lbs last weekend and it was OK.

Oh, fine. Before the gym closed I was squatting 90 lbs. I've shot myself down to 60 for now just to be safe but I have no problems.

Because my back always hurts. Movements that cause me to arch my back are the worst, which is what seated rows look like they'll do. I do fine with squats because my legs and core take the burden and I can keep my back straight if I'm paying attention. @DancingMoosie There's a machine for assisted pullups at my gym. I like…

We successfully completed plasma cutter training without maiming anyone or lighting anything on fire. I'm scared of the sparks though. :(

32F, 5'6 SW: 272 CW: 181 GW: N/A I've been stalled out for 6 weeks. I'm not even gonna bother with a weight goal. There seems to be no point. But I am back to the gym at least for now, so I'll focus on some fitness goals, like getting back my lost strength and maybe actually doing a full pushup. I want to learn how to do…

Tomorrow is Canada day and I bought something totally ridiculous: chocolate wine. Maybe it'll be good, maybe it'll be gross. It's definitely a frightening amount of calories. I will report back. ;) Today is going to be very stressful and tense so please cross your fingers for me.

@quiksylver296 Ah, thank you. I feel like that would still hurt my back, but I'm also willing to keep an open mind and try most things once. =P I'm next scheduled to the gym on Wednesday so I'll give it a go.

This app is consistently broken af, I refuse to pay money for something that just dies for days or weeks at a time. I had premium as a gift for a couple months and didn't feel it offered me much in the way of needed functionality tbh.

The last load I had when I realized I wanted to quit was just the 45 lb bar. The first load was a 20 lb barbell and it felt very light, which didn't really make the exercise any less awful or hard on my back. I've never gone to failure with rows. I have access to a gym with the usual gym things. I don't really know…

I don't really understand how it's a pain, because it's like 10 seconds out of my day, but I also don't think its absolutely necessary if it's a sticking point for you. Could you try figuring out approximately how many calories you want each meal to be, and just calculating/estimating that without necessarily logging it?…

Today I'm ok with the increase on the scale. Since we've been able to get back to the gym, the DOMS is legit. My arms hurt so bad you guys. So. Bad. DOMS = water weight, so I'll probably be stalled out a while until I recover/build strength again. It's the good pain though, the "I worked hard for this" pain. So I'm more…

Its normal, it's not fat, it'll come off in usually a few days, maybe a week or two at most. There are 3500 calories in one pound of fat. So you have to eat that much over your maintenance level to gain fat. What you gained was a ton of digested and undigested food, all of which is holding onto several pounds of water.…

Diet had negligible impact on my cholesterol. My doctor also warned me it would be that way. Weight loss made it go down then way up, but I hear that's a false positive from my fat cells emptying stored garbage into my blood. The down, while it lasted, was quite significant.

I eat so much rice and it's one of the lowest calorie items on my menu so. I dunno what rice you're eating! :0 But for me, the biggest Not Worth It is Doritos/chips in general. I just don't eat them anymore.

I always measure everything anyway. The only thing I stopped measuring is cucumber since 60 grams is only 9 calories and I basically never eat more than that on a sandwich. Otherwise if it's got calories and isn't like take out/prepared food, I measure it. Have every day for a year. My kitchen scale is looking pretty beat…

I was 290 at my highest, and around 276 when I started MFP in April 2019. I'm currently down to 180 and working on the last 30 lbs I want to lose.

CW: 181.6 Maybe I should just give up and call this my goal weight since I can't seem to drop below it. -_-

We went to the gym for the first time since the end of February shut down. I'm not even level one anymore. I'm like, level -2. I'm honestly crushed by how weak I am, how much progress I've lost. :(

I can't get in on the app either, but I can access through the web browser on my phone. Plus I've been having huge problems just adding foods or changing numbers. It's been a bad week for this app.

My stomach has been hurting so I made a point of drinking way more water and now it hurts less but I have to pee every 5 minutes. And we have to pay to replace the motherboard on Husband's computer because it fried. That's been my week. =P I'm starting to think I have a sugar intolerance. I tend to get these stomach…

Giving up won't make you happy.

Boone's wine coolers aren't half bad.

Yeah. I emailed the support desk and got a "we know" response followed by a "we fixed it" response even though it's still broken. And they wonder why people don't wanna pay for premium. :|

Literally doesn't matter. Eat the one you enjoy eating.

Some chins. 2 shoe sizes. :[ The ability to feel warm. My camera shyness. My fear of the gym. All of my dresses. It's been a mixed bag.

MLM products are well known for being overpriced, low quality, over promising and under performing. Not to mention barely skirting illegality. If you must use a product, cheaper alternatives are at least not supporting a company which overwhelmingly targets and ruins the lives of poor women with cult tactics. So to answer…

It's fine. I log it for the nutrition/fiber counts more than the calories personally, and I've completely stopped weighing out my spinach/cucumbers anyway. I just eyeball it, since the whole 10 calories or whatever I might be off by is negligible. Higher calorie veg like carrots I do weigh, but lettuce is whatever.

Google a TDEE calculator, get your TDEE, then subtract per the chart @cmriverside posted.

I had 2 pieces of home made chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream icing yesterday, put myself over by nearly 1000 calories, and I still weigh exactly the same today. It doesn't matter. 200 calories is nothing. Do you really want to live a life where you feel this awful about cake? I wouldn't.
