Anyone around 5'8 with goal weight loss about 25-30 lbs succeeded?
That's a long title haha. But bottom line is I'm 5'8 and not overweight but just below the mark (bmi about 24.4) and I want to lose about 28 pounds (158-130) and get fit. While I am absolutely amazed at everyone managing to lose hundreds of pounds I would love to see some before and after pics of people in situations…

Outbreaks from supplements?
I know not everyone is for supplements such as protein powders, protein bars, fat burners etc but I find they complement my regular diet well when I need something quick. I recently bought a whole bunch of different kinds and today I noticed some sort of outbreak on my chest, probably not acne but something similar just…

Plausible goals
I'm 5'8 and currently around 157 lbs. My goal weight is about 135 but it feels so far away right now so I'd like to have some smaller, plausible goals on the way there. Which is why I'm asking - if I eat around 1300-1500 calories a day and work out about three days a week (strength and/or cardio), would it be reasonable to…

Garmin Forerunner 235
First off I'm not sure I'm posting this in the right subforum so I apologize in advance for that. Anyway - my question is if anyone else her uses a Garmin Forerunner, preferably a 235? I bought mine today and I love the idea of it but I'm not quite sure how to use it. Should I keep the automatic pulse reading on or is it…

So I'm 21, looking to tone up more than losing a lot of weight but I wouldn't mind getting rid of some body fat lol. Anyone in a…

Low carb snacks
Hi! While I'm not on a low carb diet I'm still trying to eat less carbs since I'm thinking it won't hurt, maybe even help a bit. But I can't think of any low carb snacks for when I'm just a little hungry, like late in the evening. I don't really feel like frying a chicken fillet at 11 om before going to sleep :P Any tips?…

Anybody got fit without cutting carbs?
I was wondering if there's anyone out there who has managed to get fit without going very low on carbs? Like, sticking around perhaps 40%? I know it's very possible to lose weight with just calorie restriction but since I'm not overweight I feel like I might have to cut out the carbs, but god, I love bread! I'm 5'8, weigh…

How to log when eating out
Today I bought food at the college campus restaurant. It wasn't anything unhealthy - a salad buffet and some bean based foods. The problem is just, I have no idea how to log when eating out. How do the rest of you do?

Notifications?
I've been wondering if it's something I just missed, but can you get some kind of notifications on when people comment on your updates, reply to one of your comments and so on? I was thinking something like facebook notifications. I do get it on my phone but they aren't very specific, and I haven't found anything like it…

HRM Calorie calculation
Merry Christmas everybody! I have a question about HRMs, or more specifically Polar FT40. When it calculates my calorie burn, is that the total calorie burn, including what I would've burned without exercising, or is it the extra calorie burn from the exercise?

Losing too quickly?
Hi. I've been on here for a little more than two weeks now. I'm seeing results but I'm starting to worry that I've lost a little too much weight in a short amount of time. I'm not overweight, I'm 5'8 and I started out at about 145 lbs, which should mean that I shouldn't be able to lose weight very quickly. Today, as I said…

30 DS - not 30 days in a row?
I'm on day 3 of my 30DS and I've been reading quite a lot about it. As I understood it, it is supposed to be done every day for 30 days but I've seen a lot of people who says you shouldn't do it every day. I've only done two workouts so far (haven't done today's yet) but I'm not really that sore so it doesn't feel like it…

What keeps you motivated?
Hi! I am pretty new here at MFP and even though I've been counting calories on and off for years and know most about it I think this is a great way to easily keep track of what you're eating! And the possibility to get to talk to others seems really good as well :) But I know myself. I'm motivated for a couple of weeks,…
