Training for half marathon after an injury
Hello everyone! So I started training for my first half marathon this summer, having no background of distance running (sprinted in high school and ran in the Air Force but not much distance since then) and at the end of August got overzealous and felt great so I ran 10 miles for the first time on the treadmill! I ignored…

Why eating healthy is cheaper :)
Hi I just wanted to say something to everybody that I think it is cool :) I see a lot of people in my life at least who say healthy eating is so much more expensive because junk food and drive thrus are cheaper quicker etc. but I've realized that while maybe some of the foods are more expensive (maybe) to eat healthy than…

When will I lose the water weight?
From intense exercise. :) I started TurboFire a week and a half ago and I feel I've ballooned a bit. You can check my diary if you want, I weigh everything and stick to the calorie goals mfp gives me, plus use a heart rate monitor to more accurately estimate my calories burned. (Please no debate on HRM calories lol.) So I…

Kickboxing :)
Hey everyone :) initial disclaimer: it's hard for me to post on forums as I've got borderline personality disorder and I have a hard time understanding people but I am working on it. :) I've been doing TurboFire and it is so intense and I love it and I was thinking about actually joining a kickboxing gym in my area (it's…

Eating double my maintenance calories once per week?
Hi guys! :) First off let me say that before using myfitnesspal I binged every single day, no joke, just mindless/emotional eating every day. I told myself a while ago when I started on here that I can still binge, just once per week. Now though, I realize binging is not good for me psychologically and I don't want to undo…

Bad day, Binge day :-(
Hello healthy friends. I'm just here to say that I feel like a fat, overheated, emotional blob after binging today. Definitely was triggered by emotional eating today after a bad therapy session. I'll be talking it out at therapy tomorrow but ouch, I feel like poo. :( If anyone else has binged recently, hey there sistah…

Cycling, exercise calories, and weight loss
Hi everyone :) I took up road biking a few months ago and I absolutely (despite the full body aches and bum pain lol) love it!! I'm trying to lose about 15 lbs and myfitnesspal has me eating 1200 calories a day. (Desk job.) I ride between 15 and 50 miles 3-4 times a week (tracked on Strava) and that ranges between 1.5 and…

Bicycle/cardio friends with open diaries:)

If you're into cycling (or running that's cool too!) and have an open diary I would LOVE to be friends and check each other's…

Hello! I just recently started watching and reading and listening to the Fitness Blender people and I'm going to try out one of their workouts tomorrow on youtube because I've heard a lot of good things about them. But anyways I've been watching their informational videos and stuff and for the most part I think what they…

Can you just maintain muscle mass?
Helloooo! I have a dumb question. I understand that for strength training, once weights become too light for a good workout / for challenging the muscles as they get stronger, you must start lifting heavier to feel a challenge again. (or just rep to failure I guess.) But what happens when your muscles adjust to the weights…

Anybody who has a once a month free/cheat day, success stories?
HI! Not looking to start a thread of varied opinion on free/high calorie/cheat/whatever days. Simply asking if anybody has successfully lost weight by sticking to their goals through the month and then every 30-50 days had a free day/huge meal plus full dessert where they don't log (or do..) but just don't care about…

Dumb Question about Sodium
Helloooo. I have a dumb question(s?) about sodium! I don't restrict my sodium intake or anything like that. I just try to reach my macros on MFP and keep a slight calorie deficit. My question is, does sodium only just retain water weight and as a result make you a little more ballooned out? If that is the case, will…

I love cookie dough <3
I just wanted to take a special moment this morning for cookie dough. I always make sure I have enough calories in my day that I can have a serving of it after dinner. <3 I will never cut cookie dough out of my life. Long live cookie dough. :) <3

Treadmill HRMs
Hey guys! I like to do HIIT sprints on the treadmill for like 20 minutes, 2 times a week. I've been trying to monitor that I'm hitting 90-95% of my max (and it certainly feels like it!) and I used the online calculator to figure out the number but the treadmill screen number seems too low.... It takes like 45 seconds to a…

Maintenance Days? :)
Hi everybody! I hope you're all having a good Tuesday. I'm trying to lose like 15 lbs so I'm on an average/smallish deficit. For holidays and special occasions though I like to allow myself to eat to maintenance and not freak out if it goes a little over, and I try to limit these days to like 2, maybe 3 a month. Does…

Seriously on the verge of binging, hungry all the time! Help!?
Hey guys! So yeah, title. I started counting cals again about two weeks ago. I'm 19, 140 lbs, and I have it set at lightly active and to lose 1 lb a week, which is like 1540 cals a day for me. (I work out a few days a week, and I eat those cals back in addition) Let me just say that I am going into some serious…

HI Everybody!! Getting back to me :)
I'm a 19 year old (female) in the USAF, and on top of my rigorous mental training schedule (I'm an Arabic Linguist) and getting married a month ago, (Dec 23), I somehow got off track and started binging again, and putting off exercise (even though I need it for the difficult monthly PT evals!!!). So this week I started…
