A year of progress. ..now nothing
Short back story- started this cycle again in 2015. I lost 10 pounds on my own then in August of 2015, I joined on here again and started 'for real' working out. Lost more weight, toned up, all that good stuff, I do it all at home. I did a lot and still do a lot of jillian Michaels (love her) and I just started t25. But I…

Working out seems harder now?
Hello! Quick review, I have lost 30 pounds since I've been a member. About 8 months ago, I started jillian michaels programs for exercise. In January I started a 90 day program of hers, Bodyshred, which is a lot of HIIT training, light weights (I use 10-15s) planks, pushups, burpees etc. I recently finished the program and…

Body Dysmorphic Disorder?
I'll start with the facts. I've been on here a long time now and I've lost a lot of weight over the course of a year. I'm 133 pounds now. Overall, I feel better about myself and the weight I've lost. I feel better in clothes. But it's a very calculated emotion. It's, "I've lost 30 pounds overall and I fit into x size." And…

Fitbit and MFP
So I was feeling really good about myself Nov 6 (yes I have an exact day). I have been taking progress pictures since starting mfp in august. I also upgraded my garmin and got a fitbit HR around that time. And I sync all my workouts to mfp with it. Now fitbit will say that I burned EX: 300c during my workout and sometimes…

Losing weight and losing confidence
If you look at my profile, you'll see it looks like I've only been actively on here for a couple weeks. But I rejoined MFP to help with my diet. In January, I was 160-165 pounds. The most I ever weighed. I changed my diet then and lost 5-7 pounds. Then started doing Pilates and got down to the 150 range. In April/May, I…

Am I doing this right?
Morning folks. I'm 5'5 and 150 with 17 pounds to lose. 3 years ago at 20, I joined this site and lost 25 pounds. I picked up walking and a dance class, changed my eating habits etc. The last few years, I've put on weight and then some (obviously since I'm posting this ha). This year, I've lost 10 pounds on my own. I…

1200 calorie intake
MFP has me at 1200c a day. I'm trying to read how many calories I should be consuming on other discussions. Some say this is fine, some say not enough, some say depends on what you're consuming in those 1200 (I more so agree with this) and others say you'll gain it all back. I need some help. I'm 150, 5'5. Trying to lose…

Should you really be eating the 'calories' you burned on MFP?
I'm getting back into the swing of this. In addition to bettering what I eat, I've started exercising for at least 45 minutes a day. I wear a weighted vest while walking/jogging (usually 2-3 miles a day & adding weight weekly) and I do pilates 3x a week, varying intensity. I'm really just drinking protein shakes, eating…
