Food swaps: Junk for other junk
I just decided against the chocolate fondant I'd been eyeing up and opted for a few glasses of wine. How wrong is the sense of pride I felt when I realised I opted for fewer calories?! :D

Mfp for iOS?
I'm probably not posting this in the right place, but I'm having an issue with the link from my iphone (which tracks my steps) to mfp. I've been away from the site for a while, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it, but I can't even seem to find how I linked them in the first place! Its not life or death,…

Anime fans?
I'm not much for manga or graphic novels; that's not wherein my nerdliness lies. But I was hoping to gain some anime friends, if you're out there...? My favourites are Inuyasha, Rurouni Kenshin, and Gintama. I'm currently watching a few but enjoying Re:Zero. Would also highly recommend Erased, as even my non-anime watching…

Lifting programme for newbie?
I've recently invested in a 50kg barbell for home use and was wondering if anyone could advise a good programme for an absolute beginner? I've used handheld weights at home before, but nothing like proper "lifting". Thanks in advance! x

I've read too much stuff - its all become a blur
I'm trying to find out my BMR and TDEE so I can utilise them to determine what an appropriate calorie intake is for me, but I think the more I read and videos I watch, I'm increasingly confusing what numbers mean what and how you introduce a cut and what that's actually for... Can someone please recommend a TDEE calculator…

Calories consumed or net calories?
Hi friends! I was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice on which number I should be more concerned about; total calorie consumption or net calorie consumption? My allowance is 1430 and I tend to hit that or thereabouts most days. I do home workout dvds and a bit of walking (I wear a fitbit and have negative…

It's funny when...
...you're weighing a portion of food and if it's a few grams over you think, 'Well, it's only 3 grams. Same diff!'. But if it's 3 grams under, I don't care if I have to pull out the tweezers, I am getting those 3 grams goddammit! No? Just me? :D

Love is Love
Just wanted to say how happy I am for the American LGTB community and its allies! We all win when love wins! <3

What was your main downfall when it came to packing on the pounds?
WINE! Oh dear, I really lent on the bottle in hard times. I thought I was making myself feel better, but it really did me no favours. And it also made believe I could eat whatever I want and stay the same weight. Wine, it turns out, is bad at math. :s

What is heavy?
Lift heavy. I see this advice littered all over the forums and probably need a bit of help understanding this. I, just as a preface, have no idea what I'm doing. I exercise and try to eat as healthy as I know how, but recently put on a load of weight because I really thought wine could see me through any and everything! I…

CICO or Net?
That question probably doesn't really even make any sense... I suppose that's because I'm mega confused about how I'm meant to view my daily calorie intake. MFP has given me 1450. I exercise during the week, just 30 minute at home dvds (Jillian, whoop!), and I wear a fitbit averaging between 8000-10000 steps a day. Now,…
