Here's a hack for posting photos
So you know how you can share progress shots on here from your phone when you log your weight? If you add say a picture of your breakfast and you wanna share it, add the photo as a "progress shot" of your weight, share it, then you can delete the photo from the "progress shot" and your post will still be there. And that's…

What was your longest plateau?
So far I've been bouncing around 121-122 for almost 4 weeks and it's driving me crazy!! I'm weighing and logging everything and according to my Fitbit my deficits have been where they should be. I'm so impatient

Where are my 5"4 ladies at??
Hi ladies!! I'm 5"3.75, I'm roughly 123.5 pounds and at a 44.5 pound loss. I was wondering what your goal weights are/were? Mine is 115 but I'm not sure if that is too high because I still feel like my stomach and thighs are huge

Where are my big stomached ladies at?!

Question about calories and macros!
All these vegans I know keep telling me they eat as many calories they want in a day and don't restrict their calories and they still have managed to keep a good figure and lose weight. My question is, how/is this accurate? I've lost 42lbs in the past year with the only restriction being a 500 cal deficit from my TDEE so…

Is it possible to undo eating over TDEE?
I know the excersise is factored in already and like today for example I ate 2200 and my TDEE is only 2130 is there a way to get back into a deficit, considering the fact that the way TDEE works is factoring in your exercise for the week into your daily cals??
-
Quick question ! Need clarification.
I use my TDEE minus 500 as a guide for daily calories but then I was dumb and didn't realize that I shouldn't be eating back ANY of the exercise calories because it was already factored in. So I was inaccurately eating back some exercise calories and/or using exercise to "burn" off extra calories that put me at…

Question about frame size (wrist/finger method)
Firstly, is it accurate? Secondly, is it with the index or middle finger that you have to wrap around the smallest part of the wrist? I find that when I do it with my middle finger, the thumb overlaps the middle finger nail but when I use my index finger it only overlaps a tiny bit So am I medium or small frame?!
-
Do you still count calories?
Or do you feel MFP gave you enough information on your weight loss journies to manage on your own? I'm not done losing yet but I don't want to be stuck in a world of logging every little thing forever.

TDEE Question
My TDEE is 2189 (I work out 3-5 times a week) I usually eat around 1600 cals a day but on days that I work out do I get to eat back some exercise cals or does that defeat the purpose of the 3-5 workout a week activity setting (I hope that makes sense?) Like for example today I ate over 1600 but burned 400 working out, what…

I'm a super obsessive person
Like I worry about the scale too much so I'm taking a break and now I'm stressing about calorie counting for maintenance once the weight is off. Will you guys still calorie count after you reach your goal weight? I know I'll get to obsessive with it so I'm not sure if it's productive or not :(

Question about TDEE, activity level, and weight loss
So on my TDEE I calculated it saying I was moderately active (working out 3-5 times a week) and then after that formula gave me my maintenance calories I subtracted 500. My question : on the other days where I am not working out, do I need to recalculate my TDEE and set it as sedentary? Or is it ok to keep the one that I…

So in theory you could do no exercise at all and still lose weight with a deficit
i don't personally do this because I want to exercise to be healthy and because being toned looks and feels nice but in theory could you technically lose weight with no exercise at all? As long as you maintain a deficit?

Healthy snack food ideas?
i usually get decently hungry between lunch and dinner and veggies just don't satisfy me until supper. Any ideas?

Confused about eating back workout calories
like so for example I worked out today and burned 415 Cals and ate 1448. My TDEE is 2189 so like that's a decent deficit, do I eat back the exceraise Cals or leave it be? Also I heard you aren't supposed to eat under 1200 a day for women so if I count my exercise in that then I've only consumed like 1000 calories today so…

Leftover unhealthy meal for breakfast?
i went out to eat last night and saved half to cut the calories in half and I am going out today so I don't have access to a microwave to reheat it, so I guess even though it's not as healthy could I have it for breakfast and then fix my calories for the rest of the day? I guess I'm wondering if eating poorly in the…
