Friends
Hi, i've been doing IF for exactly 2 weeks. I've lost about 3 pounds but more important than that, I've actually lost some fat-especially some belly fat that I didn't think was ever going to budge. I do 16/8 and my eating window is from 10am to 6pm. If anyone would like to add me as a friend that would be super helpful. It…

starting maintenance
Hi, i am about 5 pounds away from my goal and my weight loss has stalled so I decided I'd go ahead and try maintenance for a while since I've been trying to lose for almost 2 years and have lost about 58 pounds in that time. I feel great now but still have a little tummy pudge. That'll come off eventually-I hope but not…

weights and cardio
I'm a little confused. I've been going to a gym and the trainer there said to do cardio before weights but everything I read says you should do weights first while your muscles are fresh. Which is best cardio before or after weights. I'm trying to lose weight and tone up. My second question is when to eat? I've found that…

Feel fatter than when I started
I've lost 40 pounds which I'm extremely happy about. I still have about 13 to go to my goal. My problem is that I think I look pretty darn good with my clothes on but when I look in the mirror without my clothes on, I feel so disgusted. I still look so fat. I know I have some toning to do which I'm working on now with some…

Protein powders
Hi, I'm thinking about trying a whey protein powder for after my workouts but there is a plethora of choices out there and I'm really confused. I don't want anything that tastes horrible and I'd also like it not contain artificial sweeteners and not break the bank. Any suggestions?

Stubborn weight won't come off
So i'm confused as to why I quit losing weight. I had lost over 40 pounds but then I quit because my daughter started college and we moved and blah blah blah ate like a pig. Anyways, I've been back at it now for over a month and I've lost 2 of the pounds that i had gained back. I know 2 pounds is still a loss but i don't…

HELP
Hi, I am getting so frustrated. I had lost over 40 pounds and then went off track for a while-moved, daughter started college, general depression, etc... So i've been back at it for almost 4 weeks. I track everything I eat, I exercise (mostly walking and walking videos-but it's pretty high intensity), and I stay within my…

fitbit?
Hi, I bought myself a fitbit flex because it was on sale but I have yet to take it out of the box and I'm considering taking it back. I already exercise daily (except for right now due to an injury) and I track my exercise and food on MFP. Do I need the fitbit? I have already lost 11 pounds but I have about 30 more to go.…

My problem is is that I do really good for a while and then I get some kind of injury and give up. Well, i injured my knee over the weekend and it was feeling a little better so I tried to exercise this morning and it's…
