Accountability group - Guidance from someone who has lost 100 lbs
It is a new year and I want to get back on the ball. Starting in 2014, I lost over 100 lbs. Since then, I have maintained this weight but have stalled on losing the last 30 or so pounds to reach my goal. I will begin on this goal starting today and welcome anyone no matter their experience level to join. Having The Right…

Your opinion needed on your preferred Keto fats
Hi, So I am curious what kind of fats do you guys typically eat. Do you mix animal fats with plant fats or choose one over the other? What are some big ones you would say is your staple? Coconut oil? Avocado? Ghee? Nut oils/butters? Also, would you say the Keto diet is a fad diet?

Did anyone else see the Dr's new phony diet on MSN's page?
There is an article that is titled " Three foods to avoid to lose weight" or something like this on the front page of MSN. Curious, I decided to click it. It linked you to a video with a doctor rambling on for like 10 minutes about how he was overweight and he discovered "the secret". All throughout he kept mentioning his…

Curious about the Keto diet - questions inside
Hi, For about the last two years I've sort of had a high protein diet. My macros were something like 40-45% protein, 25% fat and 30-35% carbs. I've done relatively well. I went from 385 to about 260 in a little over a year. Since then I've been gaining weight and then losing it again. I am up from my low and feeling…

Object to Object Interaction
This may not be new to people but I think a lot of people don't bother to think about it. Anyway, I've been on this health journey since Dec 2014. I lost a bunch of weight and look and feel better. But, recently I've been getting more frustrated, getting more self-conscious, envious etc, to lose the last bit of weight. And…

Looking for friends/accountability buddies
Hi everyone, I've been on this weight loss journey since Dec 2014. I started at 385 lbs and now I am at 270. My lightest was 260. I've been stuck for awhile. Picked up some bad habits too. My schedule has not been consistent, been more stressed than usual, dealing with shame from the past, among other things, as the reason…

Could someone explain TDEE to me?
In the past I calculated my BMR, ate at a deficit, exercised, etc and lost a good amount of weight. I never took into account other calories I burned through activity and rarely ate back exercise calories. I got a fitbit a few months back and synced it with MyFitnessPal. I still confuses me a little bit but I guess it…

Could someone explain how the fitbit and MFP sync works?
Hello, I have a Fitbit Blaze and recently synced it with MFP. I am getting some sort of calories adjustment when I look at my exercise log. According to my Fitbit, today I burned 520 calories doing an exercise. However, when synced with MFP it made an adjustment and said I earned 247 extra calories. I am just really…

100 pound weight loss in 1 year. (385lbs to 285lbs)
So it has actually been less than a year because my one year anniversary is December 23rd. So far I am 100 lbs down. All I did was track my food on here and weighed my portions and I worked out at home doing P90 twice back to back, P90x, part of P90x3 and now I am doing Body Beast. I also go for walks occasionally and I do…

Body Beast
Hi, Is anyone doing or has done this program before? What kind of results did you get? Is it worth it? How does it compare to P90x? If you still have a pretty high body fat % should you even bother with this program? Looking forward to your responses. Thanks

Are nutrition labels really accurate?
Before I even saw this video I was thinking how dieters are so dependent on food labels. You only hope they are accurate. This is why I always never eat back my exercise calories in addition to leaving 100 extra calories as a buffer in case I measured calories incorrectly. Or in this case, labels are inaccurate. Anyway, I…

Any vegetarians or pseudo-vegetarians?
Hey everyone, Before I got into calorie counting and serious weight loss I ate a diet that was high in veggies, fruits, seeds, some grains, legumes, seaweed, and occasionally some fish or poultry. However, I only ate fish/poultry about 2-3 times a week. What I discovered was I was not getting enough protein. So I switched…

Here's me
Hi, I am just a new guy joining all of you on your weight loss journey. A couple years back I decided to start doing something about my health. I began eating healthier and while I did feel better I didn't really lose weight. This all had to do with my portion sizes. I would over eat and I wasn't very active either. Well,…
