Macros?
Hey everyone! I've started looking into Macros, I use the free version of MFP so I can see my Fat, Carbs and Protein. My partner knew a little bit so explained the basics and set some percentages for me (can't remember what they were now but I think protein was the highest, then fat then carbs as the lowest) But I just…

Like really good. But obviously I'm very new to this.. I was just wondering about the calories? They're so much lower. So I've…

Lack of balance?
hey everyone, I started a new workout routine the other day, just one of them 30 day butt workouts. But I noticed when I do things like lunges, on one leg I'm pretty steady and the other leg I wobble every time, causing me to re-do the lunge. Does anyone know why I do this? How i improve? How do I figure which leg has the…

Stress UNDEReating?

Intermittent Fasting?
Is anyone doing this? What ratio of fasting do you do and how long do you intend to fast for? Also when you stop Fasting and return to CICO wouldn't you just gain the weight back? What would you say are the down sides to Fasting? I've done a lot of reading but still had questions..

Anyone currently pregnant and using MFP?
I'm within the first 12 weeks of my 3rd pregnancy. Although I'm overjoyed at another child I can't shake the feeling of being disheartened by the goals I had set. My goal was 30lb lighter than I currently am, and I was trying to achieve that with a 1200 calorie daily target. Needless to say I've never been more…

Soooo just got a big fat positive! And I know ill have to discuss this with my doctor but just looking for peoples experiences? I eat around 1200 a day. Or 1500 but then I will exercise off the 300.

Are your partners supportive?
Are your partners supportive of your journey? My partner will help me by getting me the food I need in the house, not waving delicious treats in my face and will help me do exercises correctly to better myself. But I don't think he believes I'll actually be pretty skinny one day. I mean I'm a size 14-16 now and I want to…

Resisting the urge
What keeps you from eating high calorie foods? How do you resist the urge? I'm the only one dieting in the house so my partner still buys treats, so he left 1 of 2 Vanilla Creme Danish and I knew I was over my 160 calories already (which I could work off) and STILL I ate it!! And now my exercise won't cover enough to be…

Post pregnancy tum?
Anyone know best way to tone this up. Had a baby 6m ago (not a c section) but although I'm exercising stomach remains a little.. squishy? Still got a little bit of weight to lose yet but as for toning it up? It's more my lower abs that's squishy. If you have YouTube links that would be even better! Thanks in advance
