Awaiting my blood work to get my prescription
Hello! I had an appointment with my Dr. To discuss my weight issues that progressively have gotten worse over the last 5 years. I went from 145 to 195 in that time. I no longer have a career where I am physically active and I went through some life changing events that caused severe stress in my life. My Dr suggested…

Down on myself.
I feel like I have been struggling, trying to force myself to eat lower carbs, like in the keto range but I just don't seem to be able to keep my carbs that low. I constantly feel like I'm failing because I want to eat a tonne of vegetables, and the occasional treats, but then my carbs are almost always over 50g. Then I…

Protein
What mfp percentage do you set your protein to for weight loss? I have about 20 lbs to lose. I'm 5'3" and 153 lbs. I hear it should be higher for weight loss but I don't know what percentage that should be. I have it set right now at 25 %

Carb binge
I have done quite well not eating too many carbs over the last six weeks but I had a night out with the girls and went off the rails completely with alcohol and snacks. Pizza, appetizers, chips, chocolate anything I could get my hands on. And now that I'm hungover it has carried on to a second day because when I'm hung…

Splenda
How did you stop using Splenda/artificial sweeteners in your coffee/tea? It seems to be the only thing I have not been able to give up eating low carb. I am using up to 8 packets of Splenda per day in my coffees and tea. Will this affect weight loss in the long run?

Charge 2 turned off hr function
I have recently turned off my hr function to get more accurate calorie burns on here. I was curious though, would it be beneficial to turn it on only for intentional exercise, or would that mess the calorie burn up further? With the hr on all day it gives me excessive calorie burns.

Bounty Protein
Has anyone tried these? It's my favourite candy. I'm a little disappointed there is no fibre and still has 17g carbs.

Russel Stover no sugar chocolates
Do you eat them? How do you count them? They say 32g carbs for ten pieces. 6 g of fiber and 23g of sugar alcohol. I usually subtract fiber from my carb count but what do I do with sugar alcohol?

High calories
Can I eat higher calories than I would in a high carb diet and still lose weight?

Something different.
I have tried strong lifts and have been doing it inconsistently since May. I start and stop it here and there. I think I'm finding it boring. Is there something that is similar with more variety? I have a wedding coming up in February and would love to lose 10 lbs of fat before then.

Getting back into it
I started SL in early May and I liked it. I wasn't super consistent but I made it up to 100lb squat, 75 lb bench 55lb ohp and 75lb rows and 135lb dl. I went on vacation beginning of August and haven't been to the gym since July 31. I feel like I can't motivate myself to get back into the gym. I almost feel nervous about…

Stronglifts on a weird schedule
I work 3 days of long shifts, 13-15 hours per day and have 3 days off in between. I have been trying to do stronglifts on the schedule it prescribes but I find I am too fatigued to do it on the days I work. Sometimes going 3-4 days in between lifting workouts. I am finding now that my lifts are feeling way heavier now that…

Fitbit calories vs mfp calories
I'm having an issue with myfitnesspal maintenance calories vs my end of day Fitbit calories. I am trying to eat at maintenance and lift weights because I want to gain muscle and also lose fat. I eat my exercise calories but at the end of the day there can sometimes be a huge discrepancy between my Fitbit and mfp. I don't…

Better to lose the fat first then gain muscle or vice versa?
hello, I've never posted on here before and I wanted to pose a question. I have about 20 lbs of fat to lose and I am very interested in gaining a muscular physique. Will it be easier for me focus on losing the fat first and then concentrate on building muscle? My workouts now are heavy in Cardio and I only do moderate…
