Confused about rice calories
I’m in the process of weighing in my commonly used measurements to log more accurately. I usually just eyeball stuff, but I’m trying to weigh things I cook frequently to see what my typical portion actually weighs. I’m well aware of why a food scale is important and that’s what I need to start doing if I stop seeing…

Experience with barefoot shoes?
I’m considering getting a pair of barefoot shoes. I haven’t tried them before, but I’m interested and I have some ankle issues that might be helped with better foot muscle activation. At least for now I only have plans on using them for walking, nothing too strenuous or high impact like running. I’m currently around…

Not waiting around for the new year, guns are blazing now
...OK, realistically many changes might end up taking place next year, but still. I’ve been yo-yoing between 90kg and 100kg for several years now, dipping below 90 once or twice and creeping over 100 for the first time this summer (for the Americans in here, 100kg is 220lbs). While doing this, I’ve also yo-yoed in and out…

Does this plan make sense?
I'm jumping back on the bandwagon, so to speak, after letting myself go (again) for the beginning of the year. I struggle with staying consistent for more than a couple of months. My mind seems to think of weight loss and health as a project, but I really want to, and need to, achieve a consistent healthy and active…

Wig wearers, please help
Hi, If you are or have been wearing a wig daily, please help me. I’ve been through some tough times with varying degrees of hair loss, and over the last few months it got so bad that I couldn’t hide it anymore and got a wig last week. Tomorrow is my first day back at the gym after the holidays, and my first workout with…

Recipes that don’t need a lot of oven/stove time?
We’ve been riding a heat wave in northern Europe and the heat is unbearable, and I’m DONE standing in front of the stove or using the oven since it does spread a bit of heat to the apartment as well. I eat lunch at work, but have dinners at home. I’ve been eating lots of salads, but could definitely use some other dinner…

Daily accomplishment thread
In my heart, I’m just a big hippie who wants nothing but happiness to everyone in the world, including myself. Sometimes my short-term cravings and mental clutter get in the way of the big picture, so I’m making this a daily reminder to myself, and anyone else who wants to join even for just one day, to stay positive and…

Where does the bloat ”go”?
Sooo.... today, my weekly weigh-in showed a gain of about 1lb. After being upset for a full two minutes, I shook some sense into myself. My loss has matched my deficit (daily logging, Fitbit with all-day HR for burn numbers) pretty accurately for the past 8 weeks, I’m still a bit sore from Friday’s strength training, I had…

2 questions: staying on track through summer and loss rates with measurements
Hi! I have two questions/worries bothering me, here’s some background for both: I have been on and off MFP since Christmas day 2015. I have tracked weight and measurements for 2.5 years, but this spring is my first consistent food log effort (75 days in). I go to the gym regularly and work with my trainer once every two…

Friends who eat their calories?
I'm looking for friends who eat their calories and maintain a smaller deficit. I have some MFP friends who are crazy supportive and motivate me, but many eat a LOT less than their MFP goal is, I mean operating with a daily deficit that's more than what they actually ate. That's all fine and everybody's doing their thing,…
