Is Weight Goal Unrealistic? Limit Hit?
Hi, me again. Its been 6-7 months of working out and trying to stick with a 1200 calorie diet and I think I’ve either hit a limit, a lull or something else. Basically, I have not seen any progress in my body is over 6 months now and its really getting me down. I started in June 2020 at about 130-131 lbs with a goal to get…

Anyone Else Trying to Lose a "Mommy Tummy"?

How Accurate Are These Wristband Trackers?
Been meaning to post this for awhile. I have the Under Armour band that syncs with MFP. But I have noticed a difference in how I workout and calories burned that makes me question how accurate the band is. For instance, when I first began working out months ago, I would do a straight 20-30 mins of weights, core and cardio…

How long did it take to lose the first 10 lbs?
I know this will vary from person to person. I am on day 43 with MFP and its going well but I've only lost 5 lbs and it seems a bit slow to me. At this rate hitting my goal of 15 lbs lost will take months. I am on the program to lose 1.5 lbs pounds weekly eating 1200 calories a day and working out 3 x weekly for at least…

To lose breast fat
Question. How much overall weight do you think you'd have to lose to lose breast fat and get them down a size? I ask because I have a pretty petite frame but large breasts and I've come to realize how much heavier they make me look. And feel.

How to Calculate Calories Burned for Certain Exercises
Forgive me if this has already been asked but is there a good way to calculate how many calories for certain exercises such as push ups, bicep curls, crunches, burpees, etc. I find a lot of what I do is not in the MFP database and I've tried looking some up but can't find a lot. So they go unlogged. Does such a thing exist?

Cheat Day Consequence
I've been using MFP for 15 days and its been going well. Sticking to my calorie goal I was beginning to see a weight loss of 1 pound a week. Last Sat I got my 2nd pound down (138), logged it, was happy. Then for Father's Day, I took my husband out for lunch at a Mexican restaurant and overate for the day by 140 calories.…

45 grams of Sugar Daily???
Hi, 1st post (15 days in). I was wondering if anyone else has a goal of 45 grams of sugar daily and how you're managing? This is my biggest issue. For one, I've been eating a Greek yogurt for breakfast for years but they are generally 18-20 grams, using up half for the day. I then check everything for sugars during the day…
