Strength training and fat loss?

I'm kinda bored of cardio and wanna do strength training. I've been doing it for the last few days and have been really enjoying it. I still…

How to not lose motivation during weight loss?
Hi guys, last week I increased my calorie intake from 1200 to 1400. I did that because I was feeling hungry and realised that I need to eat more especially because I do work out. I worked out 4x a week and ate around 1400 calories (tracked it on MFP and measured EVERYTHING) but didn't lose any weight. Now I know that 1…

Strength training??
Hi guys, I'm a female, 5'5 and currently weigh 133 pounds. I wanted to lose another 13 or 14 pounds, but I am considered to be in the healthy range already.

HELP!! Not losing weight on 1400 calories
I decided to up my calorie intake a week ago from 1200 to 1400 cal because I was hungry a lot. I calculated my TDEE and eating 1400 calories seems to be appropriate for me (female, 5'5, 133 pounds). I've been eating at 1400 calories for the past week and weighed myself today and haven't lost weight. I'm not upset, I'm just…

To weigh or not to weigh, that is the question
Okay guys, two weeks ago I made the conscious decision to not weight myself anymore. Why? Because I would weigh myself and if I gained, I'd let the number on the scale dictate how I felt during the day and the rest of the week. And if I lost weight, I'd feel the need to reward myself with a cheat meal. Only, it never…

Can too much carbs impede weight loss?
Hi everyone, I just finished logging my entry today and I looked at the nutrition details and my carb intake was 172g, which is over my goal of 150g.
