Too much calcium
So in trying to meet my calorie and macros today I have accidentally ingested too much calcium. 67% over the daily goal. Is this something I should be concerned about? I know it's just one day, not like I've been doing it for weeks. I am a bit concerned though. Just wanted to hear some thoughts about it. I'm sure I'll be…

When you find out how many calories are in your favorite meal...
Oh my goodness gracious. I have had an unpleasant revelation. I love the restaurant Baker's Square. They're in the midwestern part of the US so far as I know. My favorite meal there is a cup of cream of tomato basil soup with crackers, a sandwich called their honey mustard chicken ciabatta which is grilled chicken breast,…

NSV: Realizing you really, REALLY like something about yourself!
So I was trying on clothes in Target today and I was checking myself out in the mirror and I've come to the conclusion that I really, REALLY like my butt. I've been trying very hard to feel good about myself in my current body and to give myself compliments. So checking myself out and saying, "Damn, girl, you rock that…

I ran a 30 minute 5k... reaching fitness goals
This may not be impressive to some but to me it is an accomplishment. I still consider myself to be fairly heavy at 186lbs and 5'6" and I didn't think it would be possible for me to achieve a goal like this. I had to run at 6mph the entire time which was really tough. I feel like I reached a fitness milestone and I felt so…

I hate how I look in pictures.
I'm 5'6" and currently weigh 183lbs. I've lost a good amount of weight since the beginning of this year. About 30lbs give or take. I still would like to lose at least another 30lbs. My profile pic is me at about 165lbs. I would be pretty happy to get back to that at least. I just HATE how I look in pictures. =( I feel like…

Regarding daily calorie goal...
I apologize in advance if this is a dumb and or redundant question. MFP tells me I have a calorie goal to meet for the day. I have to meet that goal in order to lose weight right? I know this sounds like common sense, but bare with me. So I then need to also be exercising as well? Is that how I create a deficit or is the…
