What are some things you would never spend your calories on?
What are some things you like, but wouldn’t eat/drink because the calories aren’t worth it for you? For me it’s 1. Regular soda. I like diet soda so it would just be pointless 2. Peanut butter. I’m not as obsessed with peanut butter as a lot of other people are so when I want it, I just eat PB2 for waaay less calories and…

Looking for more female friends!
I posted here before saying I’m looking for friends and now my male to female friend ration is like 20-1 lol. Guys, you’re cool too but I think I can relate a little more to girls when it comes to goals. :-)

What’s the best way to calculate calories burned?
Yesterday at the gym I walked on the treadmill at a speed of 3.5-4 mph at an incline of 10-15% (alternating) for an hour. I put my height and weight into the treadmill when I first started (153 lbs, 5’4) and it said I burned around 500 calories. That seems like way more than what it felt like. I put it into an online…

For people who do IF....
I want to try eating only during a certain window of time because eating small portions just doesn’t work as well for me lol. I eat around 1200 calories a day because I don’t have much to lose (I’m 5’4, 155 lbs, and trying to get down to 125). My question is, what time do you usually eat? And how do you keep from having no…

How do you season your (cooked) vegetables?
I add cooked broccoli, green beans and asparagus (sometimes other things) to my lunch sometimes because it’s low on calories and makes me feel full. I’m just curious what seasonings everyone else uses to cook vegetables. Preferably nothing that adds too many calories because that would defeat the purpose of loading my…

Bloated and not losing?
It’s only my second week back here after losing (and regaining) 25 pounds a year ago. I noticed that I’ve been uncomfortably bloated, even in the morning. Does anyone have any idea why that could be happening? Also, I haven’t lost any weight. I know it’s still early but I would expect at least an ounce lost or something,…

What do you do/think about when you feel like giving up?
I often go back and forth between “I want to lose weight so I can look and feel my best self” and “you only live once, I can eat whatever I want” When I’m in the second mood, I have to think about how eating food has never really impacted me hugely but feeling self conscious on the beach/in tight clothes/in short sleeve…

Hey everyone! Looking for more friends
I’m 21, 5’4 and looking to lose 30 pounds. I’m not new to mfp, it’s helped me lose weight a couple times before. I found I do much better when I’m able to interact with other people and see how everyone else is doing. I don’t really message people but having supportive friends on here motivates me. So add me! :-)

Which is more important to you: Quality or quantity?
Do you need a lot of food in order to be successful or a smaller amount of food that tastes great? (I know you can have quality and quantity at the same time, but let’s be honest, the really good stuff has a ton of calories) If you’re a quantity person, what are some of the lower calorie things you eat? If you’re a quality…
