Poor man's protein shake 🤣
Does anyone else do this but I take high protein Fairlife chocolate milk and mix in two servings of peanut powder. I use Walmarts Great foods peanut powder which is actually good quality, 1 gram of sugar. It's so delicious and it's 38 grams of protein. Oh that's 2 servings of Fairlife. I call it the poor man's protein…

Lost the eye of the tiger 👎
I started at 272 and got down to my lowest 193 with a goal of 180. The 193 was just about this time last year, right around Thanksgiving. Now I just keep bouncing around between 195-200. I just sort of lost the eye of the tiger. I mean it's good I'm not gaining, but I just can't back into that crazy groove when you are…

Google fit issues with MFP?
Is it a known issue that MFP is not recording what Google fit is doing? It's been months since my Google fit exercise has showed on here. It's really annoying actually. I've tried a million to times to re add Google fit.

MFP not connecting with Google fit?
It's always worked in the past but all of a sudden MFP is not getting me exercise or steps from Google fit? I don't get it, I didn't change anything and both say they should be. I did 14,000 steps at work alone that is not showing up on MFP. Now I just deleted both and re-added so maybe that will fix it. Thanks for why…

I will never fully understand what the scale does?
Even after loosing 75 pounds and bring just about 15-20 pounds from ultimate goal I still will never full understand what the scale does in a day to day basis. I'm not coming at it like a disappointment, more of fascination. I weigh daily, and yesterday I was 200 even which is not what I wanted to see. We had a wedding at…

Skipping a meal to eat more later?
What is the general consensus on skipping one meal because you know or want to take in more calories in another meal? Meaning today I'm skipping breakfast because we are going to lunch and I will eat basically the same calories at this lunch or close to it as if I ate lunch. I only ask because "skipping meals" is a bad…

Exercise not auto adding?
I have my MFP hooked up with my phone that it auto adds my steps and calories burned and all that but it hasn't been working for weeks now. I checked and it still checked that it should be adding them. Any ideas?

I discovered smoothies. 🤣
I know I'm late to the party but I just bought a smoothie blender. I have been making my own homemade protein shakes for years now but now I'm making my own protein smoothies now. High protein fairlife chocolate milk, peanut powder, and a banana blended up. Tastes fantastic. What do you guys do smoothie wise just to give…

Nice waking everyday to the 100's!
After starting at 272.4 to now waiting everyday to a scale that reads in the 100's! 193 with a goal of 180 so pretty close. Taking my time on that last 10-13 pounds but it's so nice to see 100 something on the scale in the morning.

Ate like a pig this weekend and still lost 😲
I kinda let it go this weekend a little bit. Not so much with eating food but had a good amount of sweets which I rarely do and haven't let go like this in more than 2+ years. I actually didn't even bother to count calories real close this weekend. I was scared to step on the scale this morning and I'm down. 😲 Only 1 pound…

Plan when reaching ultimate goal
Ok so I'm finally very close to my ultimate goal of 180 pounds. Started at 272.4 and I'm at 193.8 with a goal as I said if 180. I'm assuming this last 14 pounds will take a bit of time, 5 months? Anyway my plan once I reach this goal is to add a few hundred calories a week for a few weeks to get to maintenance rather than…

I'm so close I can taste it now!
I have now lost close to 78 pounds, down to 193.8 with a goal of 180. Less than 14 pounds to go and can't wait. I can't wait and can't believe it. I got down to 200 last June and stayed there till August this year when I decided to make my move to get to the eventual goal of 180. Now down to 193.8. what an incredible…

I went through my old "fat clothes"!
We are moving into a new house and so we are going through everything. I went through all my clothes the other night. Now being down 76 pounds I haven't seen those old "fat clothes" in a very long time. Wow I cannot believe how big I was, and how big my clothes were. I saw my favorite fat shirt I used to wear. It was a…

I started weighing twice a day and like it
So I'm down 76 pounds with about 15 more to go. Very happy, but not satisfied, that is how I say it to keep motivated. Anyway about a month ago I started weighing twice a day and now I like it. In the morning after going to the bathroom when I first wake up the recommended way. Then when I get home from work at 3:30. I…

On a tear again
I lost some 72-73 pounds which of course very happy with. I hit the low of 199 last June, as of June 2019. I then upped my calories figuring I would lose the last bit of weight [10-15] pounds very slowly. What ended up happening is I stayed the same, bouncing around between 199 and 204 till just a few weeks ago. Yeah over…

Finally a new breakthrough!!!
After losing some 72 pounds I upped my calories even though I still had around 15 more pounds I wanted to lose. I literally bounced around between 199 and 204 for a year, yeah a year. Never getting below 199. About 2 weeks ago I tweaked what I was doing, and yesterday I was 197.8 which was a huge breakthrough for me. Today…

Intermittent fasting and minimum calories?
I've been thinking of possibly trying intermittent fasting for a month or 2 now just to knock off this last frustrating 15 pounds which are being stubborn. I would do something like 7pm to 11:30AM. I couldn't I don't think so it every day, 7 days a week but was thinking of an every other day kinda thing. Again just…

Calculating food from a mom and pop restaurant?
How do you calculate calories/macros when you eat at a mom and pop restaurant that obviously won't be in the MFP database? I'm kicking into high gear here to lose this last 15 pounds and I'm really doing well. I'm being extremely accurate with tracking right now as the last 15 are there hardest. Tonight we are having Thai…

What exercise category would this fall into?
I have an extremely physical job and while its not technically "exercise" I take anywhere from 10,000 step to 20,000 steps some days. Its not just steps, its steps with stress. Its holding heavy equipment. Its up hills, down hills. Today I took 13,885 steps by my Google fit app. That is only steps, I wonder truly how many…

Is my body just saying, that's it, no more?
I went from 273.6 a few years back to 199.0 last June. My goal is 185. Since that time of hitting 199 last June I have been bouncing between 199 and 204 every single day of every single week which is normal fluctuations. When I hit plateaus going down from the high I just pushed through. I was headstrong and just said do…

Bathroom scales are a funny thing
I have used the same bathroom scale throughout my weight loss journey. Its an "eat smart" scale, glass top. I used it from a starting point of 273.6 pounds to now 199 with a goal of 185. You almost develop a bond with your scale when losing that much weight. Anyway over the last 3 weeks I have been confused, it has been…

Exercised but lost calories burned on the app?
Ok so today I went out for a walk/jog for a good 45 minutes and I took somewhere around 6,600 steps on this walk. The app. Calculated 300+ calories burned. I then went for another walk to hit my 10,000 steps and I think I'm at some 11,000 steps. Now the app says I burned 120 calories. Now this is all guestimates and…

Scale swings eliminated by intermittent fasting
I started intermittent fast a little over a month ago. I don't eat past 8 PM and my first meal of the day is 11:00-12:00 and I really like it a lot. I found it much easier than I though. It seems to have completely eliminated some wild swings on the scale. I weigh every morning and I used to get some wild swings on the…

I am fascinated by water weight
I am a bit fascinated by water weight. I have lost around 74 pounds with just 15 more or so to go. I'm in the tough home stretch. Anyway I started intermittent fasting 3 weeks ago which I have fallen in love with. I really find it interesting and not hard at all really. So as I'm stuck in the house today I weighed myself…

I started intermittent fasting and like it.
I started intermittent fasting last Saturday so I'm a week in and I quite like it. Now I am not an expert on the subject but I don't eat past 8 PM and then first meal of the day 11:30 AM. I assume that counts but in any event it's what I am doing and it's not as hard as I thought it would be and it's a sense of…

Learning discipline is amazing
It's absolutely astounding to me the discipline i have learned or aquirred in losing weight over the last year and half. Two examples. When we go out to eat and I eat half of my meal and we have other leftovers i used to eat the leftovers as soon as we got home. Not anymore, now sometimes the food gets thrown away because…

Fat/saturated fat?
Now that I have lost in the neighborhood of 75 pounds and have really tried to study food, calories and fat I find some things very interesting. Like I have have seen many You Tube videos and read articles about how fat and saturated fat is not bad for you. I never subscribed to the absolute low fat or no fat theory. Mine…
