Fruit: Yes or No?
So....I'm currently trying my hand at cutting body fat by eating clean and weight training. One thing that continues to trouble me is whether or not I'm allowed to eat fruit. Some websites and my trainer say no. Other websites and others say yes. For instance, right now I'm enjoying a small bowl of freshly cut…

Started doing ad ripper x today. Couldn't even get through all the reps so I'm feeling kind of discouraged. Going to continue with it though. Anyone else have experiences with this particular exercise?

Spreading Myself Too Thin
Recently I found out that I had dropped down to 179 pounds and am now in the category of what some would call "skinny fat." While everyone in my circle is saying that this enough and that I should cease losing weight, I do not feel satisfied. While I have dropped from a size 40 to a size 32 pant size I still have copious…

5 Week Pic Comparison
So I've been on the MFP program for 5 weeks now. I took these pics this morning to compare them to the pics I took 5 weeks ago to see my progress. I personally don't see much difference just yet. Of course, I still have a long way to go. What do you guys think? The pics are on my profile page. The first two are from 5…

Even so, by carefully coordinating portions, I have been able to always end the day below my calorie goal...for the most part. Regardless, I still feel that I might…

Homecooked Meals Dilemma
Hello everyone, I wanted to get some advice on this matter. As my username implies, I am Mexican. As such, the foods that my mother produces are traditional Mexican dishes which are often very high in fat, carbs, and of course calories (refried beans, rice, tortillas, beef and the like.) While I love my mother's cooking, I…

1800 Calories to 1640
Something very perculiar happened on when I opened my diary on my phone this morning. The past few days MFP has recommended about 1800 calories for me. But today it is only suggesting 1624. Thing is, I didnt change my profile or anything. Because of the change now it shows that I was 130 over in calories on Sunday. Does…

To Join a Gym or Not
I would like to get people's advice on this matter. I began using myfitness pal just a few days ago. My plan is to use walking as my main source of exercise to keep my calorie count in check. I have debated joining a gym with myself extensively. Joining a gym in my area costs anywhere from $50 to $100 a month. It is not…
