I forgot to weigh in and checkin yesterday, so this is from today; May start wt: 255.5lbs May goal wt: New Goal 242.0lbs <<--Original Goal 250.0lbs May 01: 255.5lbs May 08: 251.1lbs May 15: 245.0lbs May 22: May 29: May 31: It looks like I blew my original goal away for May, so I've set a new goal for myself.

I forgot to weigh in and checkin yesterday, so this is from today; May start wt: 255.5lbs May goal wt: 250.0lbs May 01: 255.5lbs May 08: 251.1lbs May 15: May 22: May 29: May 31: May loss so far 4.4lbs. Though most of this is water weight.

I am going to join my first challenge thread. The last six months hasn't been too good to me. As late as last May I was down to 190lbs. However poor habits have got me back to 255lbs right now. This of course isn't the first time this happened. I took about 18 months to get from 265lbs down to that 190lbs. Now I have to…

I have rebooted my group. It was originally a lost 4-6lbs a month group, but I am bringing the Onderland in it too since that is what we seem to be looking for. Feel free to join. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/122402-finding-onderland-lose-4-6lbs-1-1-5lbs-per-week-in-march

As a follow up, as I didn't realize this was in the, I had a challenge group that I was a moderator of a couple years ago. It was small but I found it helped me out a lot. It started bigger but a lot of people pooped out by the second or third week of each month. I may look in to reviving that again. I don't really like…

I feel the pain. I have been through this twice now. As early as August of last year I was around 195lbs. Now I am back up to 250lbs. I did the same thing back in 2016 and in 2017 I started exercising and eating better and by May of 2018 I was at my lowest. Well ever since August 2018, I ate crap and stopped exercising at…

If you have 75+ lbs to lose 2 lbs/week is ideal, If you have 40-75 lbs to lose 1.5 lbs/week is ideal, If you have 25-40 lbs to lose 1 lbs/week is ideal, If you have 15 -25 lbs to lose 0.5 to 1.0 lbs/week is ideal, and If you have less than 15 lbs to lose 0.5 lbs/week is ideal.

The OP has considerably high exercise calories. It may not be wise to eat all of those back because they may be over inflated. Being under on calorie goal isn't that big of an issue when general advice is to only eat back about half of your exercise calories.

I used to weigh every day and it wasn't very often that the scale went up as long as I was tracking religiously. However, seeing a .1 loss or no loss for a couple days was annoying. I started weighing in once a week instead so when there is a loss it is more than a piddly .1 or .2lbs.

Eating a balanced diet is usually good for you too, but you will be asked to fast for lab tests where they want to measure blood glucose levels, yet you wouldn't question why you need to fast. It isn't because it is unhealthy, it is so they can get accurate test results.

Also keep in mind that even if you have MFP set to lose 2lbs per week and it spits out 1200 calories, that may not be enough of a deficit for 2lbs per week. A 2lbs per week weight loss requires a 1000 per day calorie deficit. If your maintenance is only 2000, then 2lbs would put you at 1000 calories per day. MFP won't go…

If you log sugarless gum, which has 2g of carbs but 5 calories, it will cause issues. The manufacturers are able to round the calories which will cause them to not line up with macros. That gum actually has 8 calories, but they are allowed to list only 5.

I am not that big on the Salted Caramel Premier Protein either. They certainly are very chewy, but I do like the Peanut Butter Crunch and the Chocolate Mint. The Salted Caramel is my least favorite of the three flavors I have tried.

This is exactly what I have been doing. 12oz whole milk, serving of the creamy chocolate Orgain and 12g of PBFit. Comes out to just under 40g of Protein for 425 calories. One thing I am not pleased with though is the PBFit. I recently bought a big tub at Costco after I ran out of what I previously had which was TruNut. The…

You said it better than I was able to. That is my sentiment exactly.

I have never had Quest, but I have been buying Premier Protein Bars recently at Costco. I think your expectations are pretty high, too high. I think you will be disappointed. I bought two of the boxes the other day and have so far only had two bars. The Fudge Brownie and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Chunk. They are okay,…

I guess it is getting wooed because it has "Slim Fast" mentioned, but any other processed protein product would not even get a second look?

Lately I have just been mixing protein powder with milk and drinking it. Works out to about 30-35g of protein depending on what protein powder I am using. I usually pair that with some Greek yogurt with fruit and granola a little later in the morning. Usually when I get up in the morning, I don't want to take the time to…

You have to be careful as what your calculation for extra exercise calories could be off, perhaps even way off. So you might not have had as many extra calories yesterday as you thought you did.

I usually have for lunch what I had for dinner the night before. If I cook a steak or pork chop with some veg and potatoes, I make enough to pack the next day and usually eat half the protein for dinner and the other half for lunch the next day. That is on top of the yogurt, fruit, cheese stick and whatever else I take to…

The more I read on these forums, the more I am not so sure that all these fitness trackers and watches are the be all and end all. Are people using them wrong? They see that they burned 1100 calories, does that 1100 already include their BMR or NEAT calories as reported by MFP? They think, wow 1100 extra calories, so…

Deleted, Duplicate.

Usually if MFP is setting your goal to 1200, it is because you have MPF setup to lose too much per week. Likely have it set to lose 2lbs per week when your goal should probably only be .5 or 1lb per week. If you have 75+ lbs to lose 2 lbs/week is ideal, If you have 40-75 lbs to lose 1.5 lbs/week is ideal, If you have 25-40…

Slow Cooker pulled pork on brioche buns with macaroni and cheese and baked beans. White cake with buttercream icing for dessert. Add to that the near endless supply of Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs!!!

Fat loss doesn't necessarily require heavy breathing, but you are breathing every second of the day. The best exercise for weight loss is sleeping. During sleep you are breathing and not taking in calories...

I only weigh myself once a week, so is a weight trending app really useful? I know a lot of people use one, but they tend to be daily weighers.

What I meant by "isn't enough" is that increasing my calories by only 75 per day probably isn't enough to get me to a 1lb per week weight loss. If this week is any indication, it probably won't even get me to 1.5lbs. I probably need to go up closer to 2,500 per day to get to 1.5lbs. I am probably about 18lbs from goal so…

So this week I increased my goal in MFP to the 2,325 and stuck pretty close to that averaging 2316 over the past 7 days. I did underestimate my TDEE a little bit because I was worried about the one +5,000 calorie outlier day in that past average. It seems that wasn't an outlier after all. This week I lost 1.9lbs. The…
