dammit!
I don't really need any advice, just need to vent about how crap I am at sticking to anything! I got great advice on here I was doing great, I knew what I needed to do - I posted pictures and everything and got told I needed to bulk up on muscle etc.... then I got ill for a few days, got busy (and any other excuse you can…

protein challenge!
Its difficult to meet protein goals! So far today I've had natural yogurt, cottage cheese, ham, babybel, cheese string and milk (in my cups of tea) And that's only 33g of protien. I still need to eat over 100g more! I like chicken / turkey / fish... One of those things will be dinner tonight... But its still gonna be hard…

hi. looking for friends here!
Hi, I've been registered with mfp for a while now... But not really made use of it much before. Anyway, a bit about me, I'm 28 male from England, and I've yo-yo'd weight wise for as long as I can remember. I'm not overweight now. But due to aggressive calorie restriction in the past, and never working out I have very…

it thinks I've lost 0lbs
Does anyone know why it always says 0lbs lost when I log in, or open the app? My fitbit app says I've lost 6lbs since may 23.... And the data from that syncs to mfp automatically!

life gets in the way!
Isn't it annoying! I was supposed to do my home workout today - I had to go out in the morning on an errand... no sooner was I home, just had time to grab lunch then had to go out again, didn't get back till 7pm... at which point I found out I had to head out for a family meal.... ...therefore... no exercise for me (other…

a few more questions..... little pot belly!
Hi. I know I've already asked a few things on here... but I still need some reassurance so I hope you guys don't mind. first of all I started off about a month ago doing 1200 cals... then found out that was bad... so got told to gradually increase so I'm currently on 1580.... but I don't seem to be losing any weight on…

a little help with all the calculations....
Hi I've got myself a little confused with all the numbers.... Would some kind person have a look at this and help me make sense of it.... I don't know why my picture won't load but here's the link https://www.dropbox.com/s/c8afjk0rw09va97/Screenshot_2014-06-08-20-07-26.jpg Thank you so much

quick question
So I had to up my cals because I was stupidly doing 1200, and this is too few for a guy. So I was told to gradually increase so now I'm set to 1580. I was wondering, does it matter if you're a couple of hundred of cals under your goal, AS LONG as you've hit your goals for nutrients? I.e... For today, I am: 4g under on…

car washing - exercise?
Hi I'm probably gonna get laughed at..... But I spent over 2 hours cleaning my car today, inside and out. Washing, polishing, waxing, buffing, vacuuming, etc Believe me I had a sweat on! I feel like I would've burned a few cals, as as I've got mfp set to sedentary, I feel like I want to log it as excercise! Should I? Or is…

calorie increase advice...
So I made the classic mistake of being on 1200 which I did for about a moth, before I realised how much of a bad idea it was for a male. I was told to gradually increase my cals, so I changed the setting from 2lb a week to 1lb a week (eventually I need to be on 0.5lb a week) because I only have a small amount to lose. But…

protein...
How do you all make sure you get enough protein? I've been making a real effort. I had 2 large eggs at lunch today and thought... Great loads of protien... Well it barely scratched the surface! I really like chicken, turkey, cottage cheese, tuna, skimmed milk. Its still a struggle! I've been told I need to up my protein…

ouch! advice please!
OK. So I've never really done any weight lifting but I really want to work on increasing my upper body strength. So I thought I'd give the 100 push up challenge a go... http://hundredpushups.com/index.html So I managed about 11 on the initial test before my arms gave up completely! Anyway I've only done days 1 and 2 (of…

takeaways
I try to log as accurately as possible and I think I do pretty well. But the only junk food I can't pass up is a takeaway from my local Indian restaurant. How on earth do I log this? I'll have a chicken madras but only take half the container. I'll dish up half the container of rice but usually leave some on my plate. I'll…

5lbs / week
So my fitbit scales (that I got 1 week ago) have just emailed me to say well done you've lost 5lbs... Mfp gave me a goal of 1200 a week, which I've been near enough hitting every day, and said I would lose 2lbs a week... So maybe I'm not logging properly? Probably not healthy to lose weight so quickly. I know 1200 isn't…

what to believe
OK so I do half an hour on my exercise bike averaging 10 - 12 kmh Bike computer says I burned over 400 cals.... Obviously way too high. I use the highest tension setting, but bike computer doesn't seem to take that into account when calculating calories burned. Anyway, I log it on mfp as stationery bike, light effort...…

want to tone up a bit
Hi I need some advice. I am not technically overweight but I would like to lose a few pounds and mainly just tone up. I am a 28 yr old guy. My bmi is currently 23.2. And my fitbit scales pretty consistently put my body fat at 16.3 - 16.4% I would be happy if I lose about 8 pounds. Mfp has got me on 1200 calories which…
