Thoughts: diet breaks
Hello, I’m looking to lose nearly 100lbs. I’ve dieted since I was a teen, now mid 20s and this I know - it’s hard to track every detail, and not only that it can be all consuming. Now I have kids that I need to devote time to and I just don’t see me succeeding for any long amount of time in a calorie deficit. We are…

No weight change
I have been dieting for 3 weeks now. The first week I dropped 13 lbs to 219 and felt really excited. I’ve been adding extra activity to my weeks and eating nutritiously (bad foods in moderation). I’m a nursing mom so carbs are an important part of my diet to keep my supply, but I still try to eat no more than around…

Fast food addict
Does anyone else look at take out or fast food as an EXPERIENCE? Yeah it’s convenient, but that’s not the primary reason I go. I go to try something different. Food is like an escape for me. To make matters worse, I have a flexible job that keeps me on the road. I can stop anywhere, anytime. I find that packing snacks for…

Looking for pregnant friends
Hello, I’ve been a MFP member for a long time... since age 14. I’m 22 now. I’m carrying my first child and I’m in the obese category. I had planned to try and lose before getting pregnant, but life happens. I’m not looking to be on an extreme diet, I just need to manage calories and incorporate the appropriate portion…

Low carb diets
Hi you all. I’m a believer in low carb diets... I lost 20 lb in a month, but it’s been many years since I’ve done it. I’d like to give it another shot. I also have a family history of diabetes and at times I experience blood sugar instability, but I haven’t been diagnosised. I was thinking this diet may help reduce my…

Emotional eating, help?
I was having my best dedication to weight loss ever (from October 2017 to the end of January). I’d lost 25 lbs, diet was on point, and exercising 3 times per week. I ended up losing my dog in a two week battle for his life and later that same month my dad went in for a dual back surgery hours away from where we live and…

Fitbit exercise: HELP!
Ok, so I wear my Fitbit religiously. I’ve noted that on days when I don’t officially exercise my Fitbit will sync to MFP saying “300” in exercise, which is subtracted from my intake and therefore increasing my caloric allowance. Now. I am trying to figure out where this exercise is coming from... my daily steps?? Also, if…

Needing friends :)
Hey just a little about me: I’ve been a member for years (on and off). I have struggled with being overweight and obese since 5th grade. I’m now 21. It is a constant battle. I start a diet but shoot it down with celebratory eating and loss of will power at times when I find myself alone. I’ve had history of binging…

New to gym
Hey there everyone, I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for me in the gym. I am wanting to begin some strengthening to aid in my weight loss but literally have no clue where to start. How do I know what poundage to begin at and how many reps I should push for. Note: I’m not looking to bulk. Any suggestions are…
