Go with how you felt when you were 135lb.

I agree with link info and feedback from Kimny and TeaBea. :)

Hi Kathy, welcome! I do IF 18:7. I fast 18hrs (10pm-3pm) and have a 7hrs (3pm-10pm) eating window. It works if you stick with it, but I will suggest you start slow and work your way up to where you can fast longer. I workout in a fasted state.

IF works...I have been doing 18:7 and I am in fasted state during my workouts.

Real meat eater here for life. Although, I do believe in moderation when it comes to eating red meat. Hell NO to fake meat! :D

I do 40-50mins lifting with a 20-30 sec rest in btw sets. Cardio is extra 20mins intense before or after lifting. I lift only 5 days a week off on weekends. I Work each body part twice a week. I lift heavy one week and light another alternating. On heavy week, my reps are 6 -10 reps (4 sets) and light weeks my reps are…

Just like janejellyroll said, there is nothing special about the time. 12-8 is just your eating window and that's when you want to get all your daily calories in. You can always try a different pattern of fasting if you like. I do a 17:7 fasting. My eating window is from 3pm-10pm. I am fasting during my workout. I workout…

Ticker only works on the web version of mfp and not the app. To enable your ticker, please go to settings, select privacy settings and chose who can see your ticker and that's it. If you have done these steps and ticker still not displaying, then I would say it's bug related. Otherwise contact support for help.

If you are beginner 1.5 to 2.5 pounds of lean muscle mass is the maximum amount of muscle you can build each month without steroids. After some time as the muscle matures, it will slow down to about .2 to point something per month. Age and genetics also can be factored into the equation here.

Great job!

I don't think you will ever get the same workout running on the treadmill, but the treadmill is certainly a good place to start if you are not able to run outside. i would suggest putting your incline at level 2 or 3.

Just like they all said above. Assuming this is your first 10k or race in general, I would suggest you set a realistic goal such as finishing the race and not boxing yourself into a time frame. However, do keep in mind that most races do have a certain time they go on the course to pick up stragglers particularly if the…

Be intentional. When you get that urge to want to, find healthy ways such as going for a walk with your husband or by yourself, exercise for 5-10mins if needed to burn that energy. If you snack because you are hungry avoid eating out of the snack container. Put the bag or container away once you take out what you need. Be…

@NovusDies, it looks like you have weighed your chances and willing to take the dive. The only way to learn and be successful is by taking risks and learn from the outcome. Good luck my friend!

Just make sure you don't slip at your next event and gain all the weight back or I will come over there and kick your arsse LOL :D , am kidding. Seriously, I wish you the best. :)

I am on maintenance and I calorie count, but not often. Because I watch the portion of food that goes on my plate during calorie counting, I can determine how portion to put on my plate without tracking. I eat pretty much the same stuff so it a bit easy. I only track if it's something I have never eaten. So, it doesn't…

Hi, you can still lose weight with exercising for the duration of your doctor's order. You will need to adjust your mfp goal to sedentary and eat the recommended calorie provided by mfp. Keep in mind roughly 85% of your weight loss will come from your diet and the rest is from physical activity. Also, keep in mind your…

Good luck! :)

Hello Jen, I am Ngozi. I am maintaining and not losing. I do track, but my diary is closed. I workout 5-days a week Mon-Fri and off on the weekends. I post most of my workout, but do not use MFP to track. I am a Garmin user as well. I do like to interact with people and friends with or live encouraging comments on their…

In my opinion 1400 is way too low at your height and current weight. A woman at 5ft-4 working out 3-4 days a week requires around 1600 calories. You may be barely getting enough for your body to function properly like it should. You may find it strange, but you can still lose weight eating more. You may also want to look…

Looks like you may need to focus on iso or single leg workouts using leg Press machine and stationary lunges. I suggest doing light weight, but go up on reps to feel the burn and pump. Slowly build and add weights as get stronger in that leg. At first you may feel week and that’s ok. The goal is to strengthen that…

I wills suggest you see a nutritionist. Nothing wrong with asking questions like this on this platform, but you will be better off talking to a professional so they can figure out the best choice for you food wise. Roughly 85% of your weight loss will come from your diet and the rest will from physical activities. Relying…

LOL, thanks maureenkhilde. Thanks for the clarification!

Hey BarbaraHelen2013, that's fine if you disagree. But my response is based on the timeline julanig612 suggested and based on facts that I have witnessed. While I don't disagree with you in reference to calorie deficit, it will ultimately depend on her weight and height to determine what the calorie deficit should be in…

LOL, what's with the scared face? Feel free to add me, but please make sure to introduce yourself. My name is Ngozi.
