Today I walked away from something I believed in
I made a decision today to walk away from something I believed in and had this overwhelming desire to mindlessly stuff my face with food. This is the first real trigger I've had since starting my diet in August of 2022. I did stuff my face that very moment when it hit me, but I decided to eat supper early at 4 pm instead…

Keeping it off
I reached my 60 lb weight loss goal and added an extra 130 calories to my daily intake, in hopes of just maintaining the goal instead of continued weight loss. I gained an instant weight gain, not sinificant, but not sure what my intake should be now. I had a super fast weight loss, losing 60 lbs from Aug 17th, 2022. Where…

Out of calories !!!!
Well it happened. I started eating my calories too early in the day, and to top it off ate things that didn't satisfy, and was left with no calories, still early considering what my regular schedule is. I did NOT die. I drank zero calorie liquid until it was time for bed, and stopped looking at MyFitnessPal log page. Out…

6 calories left to my goal weight.
I'm amazed. I started this journey in August with 60 lbs. to lose. Here we are in March and I only have 6 more lbs. to go. My original goal was losing the 60 lbs by mid-July. It looks like I'll be there by April, which is three months early. My goal was to weigh myself every single day if possible and make the proper log,…

Protein French Toast
Ingredients Protein French Toast OMG: I was so excited to find this recipe. Adding protein powder to french toast makes it such a good food choice when you're trying to meet your protein intake goals. So good. The link to the original recipe is at the bottom of this post. TheBigManWorld used high protein bread, which…

Can I rearrange my recipes by alphabet for the sake of editing?
I know I can get alphabetical recipe list for logging, but I can't seem to organize them alphabetically to edit. It's a huge endeavour once you have a lot of recipes. Thanks.

Snacks for the cold season?
I was habitually scheduling ice cream and freezies for my snacks during the summer. Now that it's getting colder out, I'm having trouble transitioning. Does anyone have ideas for evening snacks for a cold day, other than tea? I guess I could microwave anything else that is snack worthy. Leftovers maybe.

My Recipes are disapearing
I entered a bunch of internet generated recipes and my own recipes started disappearing. Is there a limit to what you can save on the free program? Does the paid service give you unlimited recipe storage? Also does the paid version let you search your recipes?

Weight loss and metabolsm
People are saying weight loss is a simple equation. Less calories = weight loss, more carlories doesn't = weight loss. I think people are forgetting about how our metabolism can change during a diet (or going off), which affects weight loss or gain, and there seem to be media posts about revving up your metabolism for…

Stuck for a reason
OMG. Finally I got to 20 lbs lost. I got to 18 lbs., then was fluctuating for two weeks with no weight loss and am finally losing again. I gave myself extra calories because I was feeling a bit weak doing the yard work, and then had two large meals after that (stayed in my calorie count for one day and went over 100 for…

MyFitnessPal auto calculations
I'm surprised MFP hasn't recalculated the amount of calories I can eat as I lose weight. I notice the amount of calories burned on the same walk gets less and less as I weigh in at less weight. I used to burn 109 calories for a 20 minute walk and now it's only 105, but my calorie intake allowance hasn't changed. I'm not…

Cast Iron Skillet for Iron Deficiency?
My nutrients are showing low for iron, and I read that too little iron can cause hair loss. As a senior I find iron supplements put me way over my daily recommended amount per MyFitnessPal. I don't know how the program determines the right daily amount for me, but I register habitually a 50%+ deficiency. Google search took…

When should I start a maintenance diet?
Hey all. I've been logging in for 22 days and have been faithful to the calorie limitations. I've dropped consistently, more at the beginning but averaging a 0.6 lb per day loss. Having lost 14 lbs. in 22 days, I wonder if I should be doing a maintenance diet at this point, or if I should stick with the calorie limits I…
