Intermittent fasting newbie!
Hey All! I’m getting bored in my journey so I’m wanting to try something new! I’ve heard good things about intermittent fasting, wanting to try it! I’m not wanting to try an extreme intermittent fasting window since I’m a newbie! Any advice or suggestions? (I’d rather be able to eat later in the day rather than early)…

Sometimes it’s important to look back at where you started so you can be grateful for where you are now! I have moments where I am hard on myself, doubt the process, & over think EVERYTHING. I am slowly learning things that will make this a lifetime journey for me: •balance is 🔑 •listen to your body •allow yourself treats…

Calorie help!!
Hey al! In June, i stopped working with my coach and started counting calories at MFP recommendation. I was eating 1,300-1,485, then I followed MFP at 1,760! Since switching I’ve maintained at 176 just bouncing up at down! Some people recommended I drop my calories down so I’ve been eating around 1,500 but I know that’ll…

Apple watch calories?!
Hey all! Was wondering if other Apple Watch users use the “calories burned” feature on your watch to calculate your net calories? My Apple Watch is in sync with MFP but I believe I read that MFP only allows you to eat a certain amount of calories you actually burned. Example: Apple Watch says 694, MFP offers me 350. Does…

Calculating weekly goals!
I want to start focusing on my weekly calorie count. This may be a dumb question, but how do people calculate the number? Obviously I did 7 x 1,760 (daily calorie goal) but how do you then figure out the calories you can eat for the remainder of the week after going over Saturday & sunday? Also, should I start my “week” on…

“Relaxed” weekends help with weight loss?
So I’ve seen a couple discussions/comments on here regarding being a little more relaxed with nutrition on the weekends and people saying they feel it helps them mentally get a break & they refocus on Monday. In my case, I went over my calories yesterday, had alcohol, pizza, & woke up 1.5lbs lighter. Wondering if it could…

Food guilt?!
I’m wondering how y’all deal with food guilt I find myself feeling guilty (like today) for eating 1,900 calories vs 1,700 (like MFP suggests) I had a busy day at work & was starving when I got home & ate 4 pieces of pizza. I ate back exercise calories from work & have 25 exercise calories left! I know the holiday can lead…

Where are my drinkers at?!
Okay so I know this a bit of a Controversial subject BUT this post is for people who have a couple drinks on the weekend! I know many people feel alcohol sabotages weight loss but this is a lifestyle for me & in the summer having some drinks is part of life! So I’m tired of vodka soda with lime any other suggestions?!

Carb control?!
Hey guys! This is for people who are not on Keto or other low carb diets! I started working on my own after I decided to quit working with my coach where I was told to eat 100-120grams of carbs. I felt tired/lethargic constantly so i decided to increase my calories/macros closer to what MFP suggests. I guess I get nervous…
