That’s actually really solid progress! Dropping 9–10 lbs in just 20 days is a strong start, especially at the beginning when a mix of water and fat comes off quickly. You don’t need to “go harder”… what matters is finding a pace you can actually keep up with long term. Some days will feel easier than others, and that’s…

I am also new here…but I think it is a database error.2 egg should around 12g protein… Try picking one with a green checkmark (verified)

No, doesn’t have a field for cooking instructions when you enter a recipe. The only way is to put them in the notes section or type them into the recipe name/description.

Banana smoothie and toast with peanut butter

Hey, first off, you’re doing great for just a month in! That first drop you saw is totally normal, usually a mix of fat and water. After that, your body takes a bit of time to adjust, which is why you see the “stall” or even the little bounce back on the scale. It doesn’t mean you’re not losing, it just means your weight…

Wow, that’s amazing progress! Sounds like tirzepatide is really helping you stick to the habits you already know work for you. I love how you explained the difference with hunger and “food noise” that’s huge. Thanks for also being real about the side effects. Do you think you’ll stay on it long term or see how you do…

Wow, Rome for the holidays sounds like a dream. I don’t have an eel recipe, but fried calamari and garlic shrimp are always part of our family seafood feasts.

I don’t have a fancy one, but I’ve used a basic white noise machine and it really helped me sleep deeper. I like it better than earplugs because it feels more natural. Mine’s just a small one from Amazon, nothing expensive.

My dad had issues with snoring, and one thing that helped him was avoiding heavy meals or alcohol right before bed.Also, using a simple nasal strip at night kept his airways more open. Not a magic fix, but it made the nights quieter.But this is not a Perfect, but little bit better.

I’m new to MFP too and still figuring it out. Your macro split looks good to me. I think the main thing is just sticking to it and making small changes you can keep up with. For me, eating enough protein makes it easier not to snack all the time

salads can get boring fast if it’s always the same mix! try adding things like bell peppers, avocado, chickpeas, corn, or even some apple slices or berries for a sweet crunch. A little feta or shredded cheese can also change it up. And don’t forget fun dressings.sometimes that’s the mood changer!

Welcome to MFP! A good rule of thumb is around 8 cups a day (about 2 liters), but it really depends on your activity and hot climate. Some people go by the “half your body weight in ounces”. Easiest check is if your urine is light yellow(pale yellow), you’re doing fine. Don’t overthink it, just sip water regularly and…

I hear you and it’s tough walking back into the gym when you feel like all eyes are on you. But honestly, most people are too wrapped up in their own workouts to notice. And even if they did, your progress is proof you’re already crushing it also you’ve lost weight, boosted your energy, and you’re setting such a powerful…

Chair yoga and gentle chair workouts are amazing options if you’re recovering or want something low-impact. Simple moves like seated marches, arm raises with light water bottles, or gentle twists can get your body moving without strain. Slow stretches and breathing exercises also help reduce stiffness and boost…

Hey! Belly fat is tricky because you can’t spot reduce, but mixing strength training with cardio really helps burn it off. I’ve found core-focused workouts (planks, leg raises, Russian twists) make a big difference in tightening that area. Green tea is good for boosting metabolism, but pairing it with lots of water and…

I’m so sorry for your loss . Grief makes healthy changes feel heavier, so please be gentle with yourself. Try small swaps at night like fruit with yogurt or herbal tea to comfort without derailing progress. Healing takes time, and showing up for yourself, even in small ways, is still a win. don't take stress so much. you…

Straps definitely take a little practice, so don’t worry if they feel awkward at first. Try looping the strap with a bit more slack, then once you’re in position, roll the bar slightly with your hand to tighten it up. On a Smith machine it’s trickier since you have to unrack.so set up as close to your lifting position as…

finishing C25K that’s a big milestone! Hanging around 5K for a while to build a strong base is a smart move before jumping into half-marathon training. Once you’re comfortable, gradually add a longer run each week and you’ll be set for spring.keep going

Just Reading others post and Don't need to Stress

Not silly at all shifting from 'eat less' to 'fuel growth' is one of the hardest mental switches. Think of food now as training fuel, not the enemy. Start small and add ~100 cals at a time, focus on protein, and let your body prove that more food and more strength.

Beans and lentils are a fiber cheat code, plus chia or flax seeds (just toss in smoothies or yogurt). For veggies, broccoli and Brussels sprouts give you a lot in a small serving. Berries are another easy win too!

Yep, I wondered the same! The label lumps all sugars together, so added sugar isn’t always shown as a separate line.

Also you should follow exercise and Diet. Start with one daily habit you can keep forever like a 20-minute walk. It’s small and builds the foundation for bigger change.

focus on today, not the whole journey falling back doesn't mean failing and Keep Going…

You have already taken the first step by speaking up. don’t stress. Small, steady changes can make a huge difference over time. Drink Unsweetened Tea instead of Sugar Drinks

Being overweight can feel overwhelming, but breaking it into small, doable steps makes it easier. Start with one habit—like swapping soda for water or adding a daily walk—and build from there. Focus on whole foods: lean protein, veggies, fruits, and healthy fats help keep you full without piling on calories. Move in ways…

Totally understandable to feel anxious—Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a pretty new med and it’s getting a lot of buzz. The general consensus so far is mostly positive: many people see strong weight loss and better blood sugar control, often even more than with other GLP-1 meds like Ozempic. That said, side effects are…

Losing weight with a chronic illness can feel extra tough, but small, steady changes can make a big difference. Focus on what your body can handle instead of pushing too hard. Gentle movement—like walking, stretching, or low-impact exercises—is often better than intense workouts. Nutrition matters most: balanced meals with…

Yeah, calorie cycling (or zig-zag dieting) is where you eat more calories on some days and less on others, but your weekly total still lines up with your goals. A lot of people like it because it makes dieting feel less strict—you can enjoy higher-calorie days around workouts or social events without blowing progress. Some…
