Moms- harder time losing weight after having kids?
So far I'm down 74 pounds (I'm 28 yrs old) and I remember when I was 19 years old, I lost 60 pounds in 6 months with NO exercise!! This time, almost 10 years later, I've been at this for 1.5 years and exercising but it's much harder to get the weight off! Maybe my teenage metabolism went down the toilet?! But I wonder if…

Weight gain from swimming?
I weigh myself every day, so I know how much by weight fluctuates day to day, and I know how much I gain during my time of the month etc... When I swam at the community pool I was losing a pound or so a week, this time swimming in the river, with big waves against a current, was a big workout! I keep my protein up, carbs…

Weight loss hard when you get to a weight you haven't been in years?
I'm down 70 pounds (yay!) but it's slow going, and I haven't weighed this much in 6 years at least... I also do weight watchers alongside this app, so when I was telling the leader about how my 1/2-1 pound loss per week is so tough and I really need to exercise a lot to move that scale, she asked me; well when is the last…

When to stop using powder between fat rolls?
Sorry to be so blunt, I hate this subject; back when I was in the beginning of my diet and already down 20 pounds, I had a day of lots of manual labor, and clearly sweating.. When I looked in the mirror after a shower I saw that on my c section "roll" there was a rash, so beat red that I had to be on steroid cream and…

8 months in, weight loss slowing down
I've never been on a diet for this long, and the weight loss is just slowing down, but I'm still in the low 200's! I drink a lot of water, walking, switched up my foods and even change dinner for breakfast, get enough sleep etc... Is this normal to be THIS slow now? I know it can slow down but it seems just... Slower than…

Shakeology/wraps/etc
How do I nicely tell some of my Facebook friends/acquaintances... I don't need your *kitten*, nor would I spend that kind of money, I'm losing weight just fine, maybe you should focus on calories in/calories out yourself?? Because saying nicely that I'm on my own weight loss journey and doing well, clearly isn't enough!

Ladies!!... Irregular period while losing weight?
I have an appointment with my Obgyn, but I'm feeling nervous in the meantime, and I was wondering if anyone has had spotting between their periods since being on a diet? I had my annual Obgyn visit in August, everything was fine, and a month later (having been on a diet for 2 months at that point) I had some spotting in…

Am I losing weight at a good pace?
I'm down 55 pounds since August, while I do love that, I used to lose consistently each week, and last week I only lost 1/2 a pound and had a bad day of eating.. And I only lost 0.2 pounds! It's frustrating me, I know over time weight loss is supposed to slow down- yes I change up my food, I don't always exercise but I did…

Why I stuck with my diet this time!!
Take a look at my chart... Of course it shows I'm up 1 pound... Since 2011! One of my mini goals is to get back down to a weight I haven't been in 6 years! This graph in the picture really opened my eyes to what happened after I stopped my diet... I gained, and kept gaining! For some crazy reason, I thought: well, I'll…

Accidentally eating under calories! Will I gain now?
I'm pretty repetitive in my diet, dinners I'll either have 1/2 a rotisserie chicken, or subway... On this app there's a few selections that show that Boston market 1/2 chicken is 640 calories... But when I check their website and other sites, it's only 500! I eat around 1260-1280 calories a day, and most times I'll have…

Lose 1/2 a pound by tomorrow?
I do MFP and weight watchers, and getting weighed weekly is my motivation seeing that number go down! I know my body and how it compares to the weight watchers scale, and it looks like I might not lose anything... I'm not asking for some unhealthy ways to lose some weight in the next 24 hours, but any small ideas? I was…

Anyone have a big weight loss, not doing anything different?!
I lost 2.6 pounds this week! I've been at it since August and I'm down 45 pounds, but of course it's slowed down since around December and I lose 1/2 a pound to 1.8 pounds a week, sometimes I exercise, sometimes I don't, and this week I didn't and had a big loss! I basically eat the same thing every day, I can't complain…

How much sodium is too much for the day?
I'm trying to change up my food and what I'm eating as I'm getting bored with it, but with being a picky eater, I just can't find a way to switch things up without being 400 over on my daily sodium.. I follow the default settings the app has which is 2400 sodium I believe, of course if I'm over a few grams on fat etc I…

Workout if still have muscle soreness?
2 days ago our little family went to a local trampoline place, and we/I jumped for 1hr 30min, I really moved it and jumped the entire time with only breaks to catch my breath and get some water.. Of course it's much more than I normally do, mainly because I've been mad that the scale isn't nice to me the past few weeks.. I…

What's with this advocare thing??
My sister in law refuses to do MFP with me, I've lost 45 pounds but she and other family members are on the magic train with advocare because it's worked for all of them in the past.. Now I'm all interested! Anyone have insight or info on it? Mainly curiosity!

Exercises for my body- carrying weight in belly!
I'm down almost 50 pounds yay! But now that I'm not completely round, I clearly see where I carry my weight- my hips and belly! My butt is so flat, yet my hips and belly are so big! My legs are also good, it's frustrating not being, even? With where my weight goes... I still have another 80ish pounds to go, and I mainly do…

Good weight loss per week?
I went from 270 to 229 now, and at first I was losing 2-3 pounds a week without exercise... Now I've been losing 1/2 to 1 pound a week even with exercising... I know normal is 1-2 pounds a week, but watching those weight loss shows I see that just having more weight to lose, they lose more than just 1-2 pounds a week... Am…

Help adjusting my macros to lose weight
I've gone from 270 to 230 since August, and my weight loss has slowed down.. I get that it can slow down, but I'm using the default settings on here to count my macros, and from what I've read I need to up my protein, and lower my carbs a bit more... I know I can do better, but I can't increase my protein without fat going…

Am I not eating enough?
I'm at 230 pounds right now down from 274, and I'm starting to log my exercise more... I get 1,300 for the day, and I hate going over, so I eat at least 1250 in a day, I'm very precise with measuring everything! But on days that I work out, I have never logged it in, usually I do a light jogging in place/power walk on a…

Losing weight is slowing down, opinions, or motivators?
I've been dieting since August, and I've lost 40 pounds so far! But I have 60 more pounds to go, my goal is to be confident enough next fall to take a family photo with my kids, and I was losing 2-3 pounds a week, now I'm only losing 1 pound a week- I got an app called "happy scale" which I love, and it shows me my weight…

Counting macros
I'm having a debate with my mom, we are both new to calculating protein/carbs/fat, her more new to it than me... She is just starting using the app, and she showed me it, and her carbs- 88%, fat 10% and protein 2%, and her sodium was very high, so I showed it to her, and she said, does it really matter? I'm eating my 1200…

Losing c section pouch
This is kind of emberassing but I need to do something.. Since August I've lost 40 pounds, I feel great, I've had 2 sections so my stomach hangs right over the scar, and the 2nd c section scar is even lower and annoying.. Since losing, my pouch, so I'll call it, has gotten less round, much less hangy, but now that it's not…

Counting my macros
I've never heard of macros so I've been trying to look it up and understand it... I see that other sites suggest much less carbs and fat, however the default settings on here seem to work for me, I love my carbs lol, can I still be successful aiming for what it's set as?

Eat all my calories?
I'm noticing I usually have a deficit of 13 calories, or I go over 11 calories, is 13 calories really something I need to worry about eating all of or is that okay to have a few calories left over at the end of the day?
