Weight loss with injury
long story short - have hurt my back badly deadlifting. Looking to be out of the gym for couple of weeks :( when I'm back it will be low impact exercise. Will I lose weight? I've struggled to lose half a pound since the new yr with 1500 cals and 5xweek gym sessions

Week 2 reassurance
So I re-started MFP after the new year....yes yes I know. I am 5"8 and 187lbs, I would like to be 147 -154 lbs. On my first week I lost 2lbs but this morning was my week 2 weigh in and I lost nothing...well gained 0.2lbs but lets not go there.

Please read - please help - at wits end
Hi all I had a couple of weeks off MFP due to an exam, gained a couple of pounds - could have been worse. Got back on it this week and hit it hard - lots of meal prep and bought a bike so I could cycle to the gym. All this week I stuck to 1700 cals, did 5 gym sessions (crossfit) and cycled >40km. Good right? Weighed myself…

Please read - 4 week no progress
According to my weekly weigh in (and one day early weigh in) I have put the measly 2lbs I lost in the last 3 weeks back on. Totally don't get it! I track everything I eat and lift heavy min 4 x per week (don't log exercise calories but go over 100-200 a day when working out). I get that muscle weighs more than fat and…

Daily or weekly deficit?

Exercise calories
Hi lovely people! I have recently restarted MFP having lost 3 stone some time ago, putting 1 stone back on and having 2 stone to lose now! I am tracking everything I eat (about 1,500 a day, I set WL to be 1.5lbs a week but wondering if I should lower it to 1? I am 5ft8 and 178lbs) and I do crossfit 4 times a week. I don't…

Back on the block - 30lbs to go
Hi folks! I just turned 26 on new years day and I have 30 lbs to lose. I successfully lost 3 stone 2 years ago (when I chose MFP username - wish I chose better!) but put 9lbs back on.
