Workout routine
So I’m back in the gym and need a work out routine. I’m getting serious this time around with the gym and I wanna see the results. My goal is to loose more weight and build muscle. So far I’ve gone every day but one this week. Starting this past Saturday. I’ve already got a pre workout and protein shake plan down. My…

Terrible week
So I’ve been here but not here. Last week I had a HUGE bombshell dropped on me. Are you ready for it ?? ( it’s going to be a little long ) I got a call from a woman who tells me MY bf of 9 years has been HER bf the last 2/3 years. What the actual f***! Total slap in the face. Like are u kidding me. We been together 9 years…

Slowing down
As of this morning I’m down 58.2 pounds. I WAS down 61.5 a week ago, but I’ve had a stressful week and wasn’t making the best food choices all the time. Each time I hit a mini goal on my way to where I think I’d like to end up at, I’ll set a new mini goal. Well this latest mini goal caused me to loose about 140 calories…

Protein packs
Has anyone tried these ? Honestly. I’ll probably never use these for what they are really intended. I saw a recipie in here that called for protein powder ... I’m a protein powder noob

I’m having a day ...
I’ve been so annoyed with everything lately. You ever just get in a mood where everything annoys you ??? Lol. Well that’s where I’m at. And even though I still am measuring and weighing, I’m annoyed with how much effort it can take to be healthier 🙄 I keep going. But I really would just like to be at the maintenance stage…

Goal evaluation
So when I first set my goal, I didn’t set what I’d really like to maintain at. It would have been too overwhelming. Instead a set a goal for about a third of where I’d like to possibly be. As I get closer to that first goal should I change it. Or just wait to hit it then change it 🤔 I know there’s no right answer. But I…

On a 6 day plateau
WHY ! Lol. I know it’s “part of the journey” I’ve looked back at my weight trends. And usually 3 days max then it drops. Not this time ! I’ve been UNDER calories every day since logging. It’s really quite frustrating. I’m re evaluating my eating today and will up my water intake and see if that helps. How long did your…

What’s the deal with macros
So I’m new to all this ... seriously eating healthy business. So if I’m asking a question that seems silly, be nice lol. I don’t know anything about them. What is the deal with macros ? What’s their purpose. How do they help ? And how do you navigate / track / use them for reaching your goals ?

Exercise and what is this weird feeling
I will say...when it comes down to exercise, some days I’m all for it and theres no second guessing it. Other days it’s push me I’m coming. And some days it’s like exercise ? No I’m good. Lol. I discovered yoga, which I thought was way easier then it looked. Not the case lol. I’ve tried 2 different yoga videos I saw on you…

Taking pictures
For those of you who are taking pictures to view your progress, how often are you taking them ? I was taking the every week. But then I started thinking should I be ? Or should I be taking them once I’ve hit each mini goal. On a weekly basis not much changes. How often are you guys taking your progress pics.

When do you eat the bulk of your calories
When do you eat the most of your calories ? At any specific time of day ( breakfast, lunch or dinner ). Does it really make a difference when you eat the bulk of your calories ? My diner tends to be higher then the rest of my day.

5 days
5 days in a rut. Down to 266, then up point this, down point that, up again, down again...then ...you guessed it, up again ! Wtf annoying.

Link my Apple Watch ?
Will MFP automatically pull satay from my watch ? Or if I do any exercises do I have to enter it manually. It looks like it’s counting my steps but nothing else

I HAVE to win !
So me and a friend were talking on Monday this past week about my progress. She said let’s set a goal to close every ring on our Apple Watches this week, Monday to Sunday. That’s a good goal so I said OK let’s do it ! So far so good, today was a non workday for me. I was out running errands, last thing on my mind was…

So hungry today
So my day started off with a home made ham egg and cheese on a plain bagel thin with a little butter. Iced coffee with Splenda and almond milk. Then I did 30 mins of a HIIT video I found on you tube. ( around 930 ish am ) By the time I got to work today ( 12 pm ) I ate some grapes and a banana with water. By 330 I felt…

Eating way below your calories ?
I just really haven’t been hungry today. I ate well under my allotted calories today. Does this happen to anyone else ?

Do you ever just not like what you ate ?
Like today, breakfast was : egg whites, bacon and a light English muffin with butter. - fine no issues there Lunch was : chicken salad which I didn’t really care for so I only ate half of it. Went for an Apple and spit it out. - sucky lunch Dinner was : a little bit of Shepard’s pie - wasn’t impressed. Snack some popcorn I…

Since eating healthy & covid happened
I have not ordered out at all. And I have just really been wanting a “cheat meal” BUT I fear that will start a slippery slope. And that it will be more of a detriment to what I’ve done so far. How are you guys doing with things like that. Like, I just want some pizza. Or wings. Or Chinese. Lol. But I haven’t done it ! I…

When did you notice a difference
Hello everyone. I’m down 16 pounds as of this morning. Started April 12 2020. What point did you all see a difference. 👀

Portion sizes
Hey everyone. So I’ve been mostly brining my lunch to work. But sometimes I’m running late or don’t have the time to prep for it. So I’ll order take out. But it’s ALWAYS a grilled chicken salad with some croutons and oil & vinegar dressing. Does anyone have a trick when trying to figure out how much of what is in your meal…

Strength / lifting
I started my journey on April 12 2020, and I had a question for you all. I see a few people say they wish they strength trained / weight lifted from day 1 of their journey. Thoughts ? I feel like I want to do it. I see people saying it’s beneficial. Not sure where to start. Besides getting the time to google it lol. Any…
