Workout App recommendation please
Hello, I have just started using weight lifting machines at the gym in the last few weeks. I am realizing that I'm using so many different machines at different weights and reps that I can't remember what I did last time. I'm sure "there's an app for that"! What app do you like to track your workout a the gym?

When I first started this journey I thought ____, but now I know ____.
1. I thought I was eating enough protein, but now I know I wasn't and it's very important that I do. 2. I thought I had to exercise to lose weight, but now I know that its really good for me mentally and physically but not necessary for weight loss. 3. I thought I would have to eat less food than I do, but now I know that…

How can CICO and plateaus both be real?
Just having trouble wrapping my head around the reality of both. I've put full faith in CICO, but I also dont doubt the reality of plateaus- too many people have them. Can anyone explain?

Everything bagel seasoning
What do you do with your everything bagel seasoning? I bought some, now I don't know what to do with it. I was thinking of putting it on my roasted veggies. The seasameseeds in it will probably burn though.

My "petty" reason I hate corona
Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since I contracted covid 19. Praise God I have had a mild case and I already know I have SO much to be thankful for. I also know that Corona virus is a major issue and there are many huge and important reasons to hate it. But- do you have a petty reason? Mine is that for about the last 10 days I…

Covid and hair loss?
Hey! Kind of off topic but...I had Corona virus and then about 2 months later my hair got sooo thin. I also had some other factors that might have been the cause but my question is: Have you had Covid and then experienced hair loss?

Can you get off the floor?
This may seem kind of weird and random, but my ULTIMATE goal...when I will deem myself a new creation...will be when I can get off the floor without using my hands! So my question is this - can you do it and what is your height and weight? I want to know this info so I'll know maybe when to expect that this might be a…

Hair loss with 18:6 IF?
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm 50 yrs old and know how much hair is typically in the drain when I take a shower. For 3 months I was doing IF and eating enough calories to be losing a reasonable amount per week...1-1.5 lbs. But there was about twice as much hair in the drain. I have lost weight before at this rate…

Foods that are ripoffs
Any thoughts lately on food that just aren't worth the calories? I've had three lately...pasta, white rice, and pizza.

Recipe calculator?
I made some blueberry muffins today and would now like to figure how many calories are in each one. Is there some tool on MFP that I am missing that will allow me to enter the ingredients and the number of servings it produced and figure precisely the calories?

The Covid "19"
People on social media are talking about gaining the Covid 19, but I have done the opposite! Sine Feb 12 (10 weeks ago) I have lost 20 lbs. Yay me!

Sad reality.
I've done the math and I've figured out that I cannot create a 2lb a week deficit without either going under 1200 cals (not recommended so I won't do) or exercising and not eating back my calories. I've just been somewhat surprised to learn this. At 220 lbs ( still very much obese) but only lightly active I really still…

My 5 week projected weight
I still have 80 lbs to lose and I've set my goal to lose 2 lbs per week which puts me at 1200 cal./day. However, even when I eat exactly 1200...or even 10 or 20 calories less, my projected weight loss is never quite 10 lbs. Why is that?

Recording Weight loss on MFP
Just curious if anyone else out there does this. You know how the scale goes a little down then a little up..then down etc. I weigh every morning. I have this mental rule (maybe it's a superstition). The only new weight I record on MFP is if I feel very confident that I will never see to that number again...figuring in…

Why not 1000 calories?
I am a psyched dieter! I'm currently well over 200 lbs and doing 1200 cal/day. I could do 1000 though. I dont because I hear it's too low but why? If I feel good, am eating healthfully, and taking supplements what's the problem? I know it couldnt go on forever because at some point I probably will feel denied and have to…

I know this sounds crazy but....
I am starting my wt loss journey (again) but this time with intermittent fasting for the first time ever. I have only lost 5 lbs so far but it seems as though every bit of it has come off my belly! Exercising is not the reason because I'm not doing any. Yet jeans I really shouldnt fit into yet - based on my past weights -…

Testing! Testing!
My last post never showed up. I can't figure out why.

The same stupid 10 lbs over and over!
Anyone else in this boat? I am just getting back into dieting ...again.....only to lose the same stinkin' 10 lbs....AGAIN! Over the past 2 years I have lost(and gained) these same pounds at least 5 or 6 times! I am so tired of these same numbers over and over on the scale. Well this time I am through playing! Losing it for…

MFP blogs glitching
Does anyone else have this problem? I like to look at some of the blog articles highlighted on the homepage but they glitch out like every 5 seconds. It's sooo annoying! I'll read two sentences then I have to wait for it to reload. I'm on an iPad.

Great expectations!
Hi, i weigh 251 and I want to lose 100 lbs. Sure, I could say "I'd just be glad to be under 200" or "175 would be realistic for me" but you know what? I'm dreaming BIG! If i can't even see my ideal body weight as my goal, im selling myself short. Sure, i may actually find its not so important as i get closer, but by…
