How do you do it on 1200 calories?
MFP has me on 1200 calories. Even changing my goals doesn't increase them. I have at least 50 lbs to lose. I gained 30 in the last 6 months I mostly run for a workout because with gyms closed I struggle to stay motivated to do anything else When I was 20 away from my goal, MFP dropped me to 1200 calories. I struggle to…

Garmin's help please?
My Garmin was connected with MFP, at least excercise info and steps was being logged until yesterday. It wasn't picking up my calories from MFP but now on the garmin connect site it is saying it is connected, but on the MFP site it says it isn't. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

Experienced runners advice needed.
I have started C25K. Currently on Week 3. I am having trouble getting my breathing "into a rhythm" I watched a few you tube videos that basically all said to inhale 4 steps, exhale 4 steps. The exhaling is easy, can't seem to inhale that long or deep enough? Feel like I am just exhaling even without inhaling. When I am…

triathlon mentor?
I could really use a mentor. I did a sprint tri in 2017 with less than 5 months prep. I want to do it again, but this time I felt I should learn to swim first. I chose triathlon because I figured I'd get bored running for 21.1 km. But...I have always wanted to be able to run. Working on that. I am a fluffy ol' lady with a…

New to Group, Support needed
Hello. May I join this group? I have just turned 29, 22 years ago. I was on this weight loss/get fit journey and doing really well 5 years ago, but yes, life had some bumps. While I managed to keep from letting it all go to hell in a handbasket, I am back with goals I intend to reach. My Goals are: Lose about 45 more…

Substitutions for apple sauce
I found a muffin recipe that looks oh so good, but it takes apple sauce. I have one daughter who is allergic to apples. A banana won't work because I can't eat bananas. The apple sauce looks like it's used as a sweetener as there is no sugar but a bit of maple syrup. I think using more syrup would make it too sweet and too…

Adjusting the daily calories
I was on this site about 5 years ago. Back then, I was doing well losing weight and counting calories. If I recall correctly, the amount of calories I needed would be adjusted as weight was lost. I am pretty sure the calories I am set at are for a deficit of some pounds ago. I cannot figure out how to recalculate that on…

C25K with dog?
I am wanting to start the c25k and am wondering about taking the dog with me. He often pulls, follows his nose and generally has his own agenda. He's a beagle, and I'm wondering if his ADHD will interfere with me doing the C25K effectively. Also any advice on how to leash said dog while running? I've heard harnesses work…

Keeping it up while travelling
I will be leaving on Tuesday for a 3 week adventure in Costa Rica. I will be unable to log in to track my calories, but I do plan to write down what I eat to help with staying accountable. I am still fairly new to this so any other travel pointers would be helpful. I do plan on enjoying myself, but don't want to overdo it…

Pardon me but....
HOLY FRIGGIN CRAP! excuse my excitement but I've only been at this 3 months. THREE months! My original goal was 75 lbs, give or take a few, I'd be happy in that range somewhere. I recently weighed in at the doc's office and have lost 24 lbs. That's 1/3 of my goal. 33%. So I measured my waist and hips tonight just for…

peanut butter alternative
I have found a number of healthy recipes that i would like to try but a lot of them include peanut butter. I don't really care for peanut butter. I rarely even put it on toast (but I will admit to the occasional Reese's peanut butter cup). I've seen nut butter at my local bulk food store. Would nut butter accomplish the…

Generally confused about calorie count
MFP gave me a calorie limit of 1460 daily. On a normal day, that's okay, but on days that I work, I need a heck of a lot more. Tons more. I work 12 hour shifts and am literally on my feet for 10.5 of those hours, walking, running, lifting, pulling, pushing, whatever, I rarely stop moving in shift except on my breaks, when…
