In Need of Motivation... Again.
I have started my weight loss journey on February 1st. My height is 5'5 and I weighed 134 lbs (I know that js not overweight, I just wanted to lose about 14 lbs to be happier with myself). I ate about 1200 calories a day and not eating any of my exercise calories back, even if I burned 800+ calories. This was not…

Intermittent Fasting
A person on MFP has encouraged me to start intermittent fasting, and I really want to try! But every website I have been on doesn't give me the answer I want. Does anybody know if exercising during my 8-hour eating period is just as effective as exercising during my 16-hour fasting period? My schedule is way too busy to…

Need help with binging after dinner
I plan everything I eat during the day the night before. Up until dinner I do great. I saved room in my day to have a serving of my mom's delicious apple crisp. The next thing I know I am getting a fourth serving! Then I say "whatever" and end up eating a meatball sub. I started out my diet doing so well and lost 15 pounds…

Non-Dairy Protein Options
I am lactose intolerant, and meeting my protein goals has proven itself very difficult. Greek yogurt, cheese, protein powder (most lactose free kinds are awfully expensive), and most protein bars are not an option for me. I am getting rather very tired of eggs and canned tuna, for I eat both of them more than once a day to…

Healthier Breakfast
On Sunday I know I'm going to eat out for breakfast, and I won't be able to exercise that day because of how busy I will be, so I know I'll be going over my calorie goal. It'll be my first "cheat" day in a really long time, but I want it to still be as close to my calorie goal as possible. I don't know where I'll be eating…

Am I Doing This Right?
I am new to MFP. I am an 18 year old, 5'6, 119 lb girl. My goal is 115 lbs and a toned stomach. MFP set my NET calorie goal at 1200. I ate that 1200 calories throughout the day. I also went to the gym and burned about 600 calories with cardio plus a decent amount of strength training, so that put my NET calories at 600.…

Sugar Intake
My sugar intake has been going over my MFP recommendation, but most of it is from natural sources like fruit. Is this still bad? If so, what does it do exactly, and how do I fix this?
