FOOD RUT
I am in a mega food rut and slowly slipping off the wagon :( sick of everything I've been making and frustrated and teetering on the verge of going back to my old ways. What are some of your favorite go-to recipies? Looking for ideas that are not too complicated and have lots of protien. Bonus for anything I can add frozen…

Ladies! Chin ups/pull ups
For those of you that can do unassisted chin up/pull up, how long did it take you, and what did you do to get there? What would your advice be to someone (me!) who aspires to be able to do this?

Recomp question
Hi! So from Jan to end of Apr I lost 8lbs which was a lot for me cause I am small. Now, I am wrapping up week 4 of my recomp attempt. I've been eating at maintenance and my workouts are now 5 days per week (lifting heavier than I ever have!) as opposed to 2 days. I cant help but feel weird about gaining 3 pounds this month…

INDOOR TANNING?
HI! So I am going away in 3 ish months. I am sick of looking sickly pale/bright white on my trips. Not interested in spray/fake tanning. Tried this before and it didnt last with frequent salt water exposure. I will be away this time for 2 months and it isnt possible to maintain. My tanning goal is aesthetic only as I am…

Losing weight but not inches?
I always thought this was the other way around! I've lost 7lbs in about 103 days (this is a big deal as I am a small person!) I weigh myself every other day and am happy with result to date. But, I measured my hips and waist today and was surprised to see no change, despite my clothing fitting slightly better? Has this…

90 days logging!
I have been logging for 90 days with a steady loss of 0.5lb per week. This small weight loss goal has been surprisingly "easy" once I got into the rhythm of eating less/moving more. I would say my biggest success has been "balance." All other attempts to reduce calories failed miserably for me - considering things like a…

60 days logging!
Guys I am so pumped to report I've logged for 60 days!!!!! I have not been perfect but the last 2 months I have been able to make small changes that are slowly adding up and getting easier. I exercised 25/60 days (which includes 2x week strength training) which is huge for me considering I've been very sedentary for a few…

Body fat scale at the gym?
Today at the gym I used their fancy body analysis scale thing. Does anyone know if they are accurate? My body fat was 29.5% which seemed high (I'm 5'5 female and 124.8lb according to their scale)Just curious if any seasoned experts know if this is an accurate measure of my bf or not. Cheers!

Sudden hunger?!
Hi! I have been tracking macros/cals since January 1st. I've been steadily losing about .5lb per week and eating roughly 1450-1650 cal per day consistently. The last few days I have been RAVENOUS. No change in exercise frequency, no PMS or pregnancy etc. What the heck is happening?! I've been fine with my cals....always…

Does this make sense?
Hi! So I am tracking macros and logging for the first time. I lost 2.5lbs in 30 days on about 1650 av cal per day and 2 days of weights (to get back in the habit, practice proper technique after a long hiatus) plus 1 day of walking 20-30 mins. I am currently 125.5lbs (5'5, f) and definitely "skinny fat" (hate the term but…

30 days down!
Well! Today marks officially 30 days that I have actually logged my macros consistently! I also set and stuck with a goal of weight lifting min 2x per week to start (starting back small and slow after almost a year of being very sedentary and not taking care of myself) The scale is down 2.5 lbs (I'm small so this is a big…

Thoughts on using assisted pullup machine for glutes/legs?
Hi all! I have seen people use the assisted pullup machine for a glute and leg workout on Instagram (haha) and want to try it out. However I also recall a meme I saw once where people were making fun of someone using this machine for glutes/legs as it is not the correct purpose of the machine. Is it weird and bad gym…

Eating more cals on training days?
Hi all. I have my cals set at around 1500 (female, 5'5 126lb) and I am finding that easy to manage. However I am getting back into weight training and have found on training days I am ravenous! I am not eating back exercise cals through MFP but do any experts know if it is acceptable to increase to say 1750 on days I am…

Tracking macros question
I have never consistently tracked macros or calories before. I want to lose a bit of fat and gain some muscle and am realizing that consistency is key. My question is: for those of you that have had long MFP tracking streaks and or have successfully lost fat/gained muscle what do you do when "life" happens? For example…
