  • Hitting a slowdown after months of steady loss is super common, your body just needs time to adjust. Sometimes it’s not that you’re doing anything “wrong” but that progress naturally slows as you get smaller. A few things that can help: double-check logging accuracy (hidden calories sneak in), consider a diet break or…
  • Hello…welcome to our mfp
  • I get it, 40s can make weight loss feel way tougher. Sometimes it helps to go back to basics and double-check calories, keep protein high, and mix in strength training along with the cardio. Hormones and surgery history can definitely play a part too, so chatting with your doc might be worth it.
  • a lot of us want to lose fat and build some muscle at the same time. The good news is it’s doable, but it works best when you keep things simple. Focus on getting enough protein with each meal, keep lifting (even basic strength training makes a difference), and use your walking for extra calorie burn. As for macros, you…
  • Congrats for your hard work!
  • That’s awesome! It says a lot about how much progress you’ve made that your cousin trusts you enough to ask for help. Even if you don’t feel “perfect,” just sharing what’s worked for you can be super encouraging for him. Congrats on hitting 6 months too and that’s a big deal!
  • What you’re feeling is super common on Monjaro, a lot of people say it’s tough to hit even 1,000 calories some days. Focusing on calorie-dense, nutrient-rich foods can help (things like avocado, nut butters, protein shakes, olive oil, salmon). That way you’re getting good nutrition without forcing yourself to eat a huge…
  • Love this question! For me it was finally getting consistent with logging everything I ate, even the “little bites” or snacks I used to ignore. It really opened my eyes and helped me stay accountable without feeling like I had to be perfect. That one habit has made all the difference.
  • Plateaus can be so frustrating, but honestly they’re super common and your body’s just adjusting to all the progress you’ve already made. The fact that you’re feeling fitter and noticing better endurance is a huge win in itself! What’s helped me in the past is shaking things up a little also either by eating closer to…
  • evenings are the hardest for a lot of us. What helps me is making sure I’ve had enough protein and fiber during the day (so I’m not truly hungry at night), and then planning a satisfying evening snack instead of trying to fight it. Sometimes just knowing I can have something takes away the “all or nothing” feeling. A cup…
  • On 5:2, the “non-fast” days are usually closer to your maintenance calories (so often 1800–2000+ depending on height, age, activity, etc. 1200–1500 is more like a deficit, so you might be eating less overall than the plan intends. If you’re feeling fine and still losing, it’s not “wrong,” but you could try bumping up a bit…
  • Totally normal! Scales fluctuate day to day from water, hormones, sodium, digestion, even sleep. It doesn’t mean you’re not making progress. What matters is the overall trend over weeks, not the single number each morning. Your scale is fine .
  • Hi Michelle! I’m not on Wegovy but I’ve seen lots of folks say the first weeks can mean some nausea + big drop in appetite. Most find it really helps with cravings long-term. How’s it been feeling for you so far?
  • I can totally relate to this! It’s easy to feel guilty when the numbers go red, but honestly one day (or even a few) doesn’t undo progress. Listening to your body and especially when you’re sick , is actually a smart move. I try to look at the bigger picture instead of stressing about a single day. Progress is made over…
  • Welcome! You’re not alone and lots of us had to adjust after going from active to sedentary. Focusing on protein first and then balancing carbs/fats however feels doable is a great start. Small consistent steps add up.
  • 😂 haha, hair can totally trick the scale! Extensions are probably only a pound or two, so nothing to stress.
  • 3 lbs in a month is still good progress! Eyeballing lean foods like fish and veggies isn’t going to ruin your deficit, especially since you add a buffer for oils. You don’t need to weigh every single dinner to see results and moreover consistency matters more than perfection, and you’re clearly on top of things. Keep at…
  • You’re definitely not alone and a lot of women notice fat gain and muscle loss with menopause, even while staying super active. Sometimes it’s just about small tweaks, like upping protein (especially tough on a vegan diet), keeping strength training heavy, and making sure recovery is solid. You’re already doing so much…
  • yaa..lifestyle plays a major role..simply lifestyle matters!
  • no, a bowl of watermelon isn’t the same as a bowl of noodles and they both count as carbs,but fruit has water, fiber, and nutrients that make it way lighter and more filling.
  • Hi Dia, welcome! Honestly, you’re doing great and training hard,eating clean,hitting protein. A 200g gain is nothing,that’s just normal water or food weight, not fat. With your activity level, 1300 might actually be too low, so don’t be afraid of the 1700 goal.Changes at your body fat level take time, so give it a few…
  • sometimes eat a few back, but not all. Smart move trying it out to see what works best for you!
  • That’s an awesome idea! Having a thread for accountability is such a good motivator. You’ve set yourself a clear goal and plan, and posting daily will definitely help keep you on track. Wishing you the best on your journey to 60kg by summer, I’ll be cheering you on! Keep Going…
  • Wow Kat, thank you for sharing all of that so openly. I know how tough the ups and downs can be after bypass, and it really takes a lot of strength to be honest about the struggles along with the wins. Huge congrats on your 50 lbs loss and that’s amazing progress in just 4 months! You’re so right about surgery being a tool…
  • Props to you for starting back up, especially with everything you’ve been through. That’s not easy. Starting small with steps, light cardio, and some weights is the perfect way to ease in. Just keep it steady and listen to your body and little wins add up. You’ve got this!

  • Just one hr walk
  • For long runs in the summer, I usually keep it simple like gels or chews every 30–40 minutes and lots of electrolytes (Nuun or Liquid I.V. in my bottles). For meals, I like easy carbs + protein the night before (rice, chicken, veggies), and something light but carb-focused a couple hours before running. Post-run, chocolate…
