Thoughts on my diary?
Looking for some input regarding my diary. 232lb, 64inches, 30 year old female. Would appreciate any input. Not seeing a change in clothes or weight since I started tracking again 10/6. Was hoping to see at least a pound or two difference, or have some loser fit in clothing. Tape measurements have not changed either.

Logging Issue/ defocits
I've been back for 31 days now, woot! I took about 4 months off due to torn rotator cuff, didn't log in and just ate. I gained about 25 poundsduring that time. Anyhow, I am doing couch 2 5k to prepare for upcoming race and also going to begin biking soon. Weights have to wait, but I do squats, planks, burpees, and crunches…

Do I need to eat more?
I posted this in helloitsdan's "In Place of a Road Map" the other day, and today my weigh in was not as desirable as I had hoped. I had burned approximately 4,000 calories last week. I expected to see at least a pound weight loss. Instead it was .4lbs. I have my goal set at 1800 calories. I've lost 12 pounds so far, with…

Need to cut calories?
Hey Everyone, I have an injury that is going to be at least another 2-3 weeks before I am healed. I am on strict orders not to exercise at all while I am healing. I have also decided that I won't be doing cardio for the rest of summer. I am going to still do things with my daughter, but no running, walking, etc for…

Starting over
Well, I'm back from my 3 week vacation. Honestly, I don't think it went as bad as I had planned it would. I made sure to eat no breakfast, a light lunch and a balanced dinner. I felt that gave me the calorie buffer I needed. I avoided drinking anything but water as much as I could, and avoided sweets. I didn't do any kind…

5 week update
Well it's been 36 days for me now, or 5 weeks 1 day of eating more. Today is my official weekly weigh in, but I track daily with hackdiet. I've been seeing a slight trend downwards, then a little upwards, and now downwards again. So with that said, here are my before and current stats. Before: Weight 203.2 Neck: 15 Waist…

Consistency and Vacation
I've been dreading my vacation that will be taking place 3 weeks from this coming Wednesday. I am not bringing a scale with me (either food or weight), will not have access to the gym, and will not be really tracking my calories as I normally do. I will be able to go swimming at the beach (hopefully), and continue my c25k.…

Changing activity level
I'm cutting down my cardio for the summer. It's too hot to really run outside, and going to the gym is going to be limited due to my daughter home from school. I plan on still doing my C25k (35min avg 3x week) and riding 1x week (60 min) and then 6 hours of grass mowing every other week. So my activity level (if I apply 3…

Trending down but now back up
I've been tracking my weight daily on the Hacker's Diet and at the beginning I was trending upwards, kind of leveled out, then went down, but now I'm trending back up. This week has been a crazy, stressful week for me. I also haven't been getting the the gym this week or last week very much due to "life". I had to close my…

Machine Weights
Can we discuss these? Will these help any? Or am I wasting time? I'm having issues with upper body strength (preacher's curl, bench press, chest press can only do 20 pounds and 1st set of 10 I feel extreme fatigue). and a bit hesitant to go pick up a 45 pound bar for fear of losing control of it. WE do have a safety squat…

HRM vs Machine vs MFP
So I decided to use an old HRM I had lying around to see if it would work at gym tonight. Here are my results, do I use them or not? It's a Sportsline 915 Solo, very mixed reviews, but since I found it figured can't help but to use it. Elliptical Trainer 20 minutes interval style MFP- 276 calories HRM- 357 calories…

Meeting Macros?
Does anyone have any help for this? It seems as if I concentrate on protein I get low carbs, if I concentrate on carbs I get low protein. Today I have 182 protein (-11) and 103 carbs ( 125 remaining). I'm really thinking a piece of cheesecake and a coke should cure that issue!

Thigh Chaffing
I hesitate to post this, but I need help. I'll see my doctor if it does not get better. Monday I cut grass for 3 hours, and then again yesterday for 2 hours. It's hot, and humid. I wore my regular cotton shorts that I always wear when I garden/cut grass. I've NEVER had chaffing when wearing these shorts, until this week.…

It's working!
On 4/16 I started to eat more (1800-2320). I went up 7 pounds, and freaking cried and cried. I realized I forgot to log it on hack diet, darn it! Anyhow, today I jumped on the scale and it registered at 203.2, my starting weight from last monday. My jeans fit again too, and I don't feel so bloated. Of course, I'm worried…

Energy?
I'm going to be honest, I feel like *kitten* right now. I'm bloating up (haven't even changed out of my sweatpants all day, jeans were tight yesterday), and I am just tired. I've been getting about 8 hours a sleep, drinking tons of water, and eating more since Monday. I did not want to go to the gym at all last night. I…

New and this doesn't seem right
I posted a post on MFP yesterday morning which didn't garner much response: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/563996-do-i-need-to-eat-more So I came here and read, and read, and then read some more. I am now utterly confused. I had followed "Helloitsdan" information on finding my BMR and my moderate calories and then…

If every day were like today...
Do I just ignore this? Because it told me that "If every day were like today... You'd weigh 202.4 lbs in 5 weeks" Ummm that's only .4lb loss in 5 weeks???

fat question please need quick answer
I'm making something that has bacon and sausage in it. My question is, since these will be browned/fried and I will be draining the fat, does the fat content stay the same? Thank you!

Serious critical friends wanted!
I am looking for a few friends that are wiling to add me and help me with my diary. I am looking for critiques on my meals, and ways I can improve better. I'd also like to be able to see some diaries of people who eat pretty clean, cook their own foods and truly log their foods. I've fallen into a bit of a rut and I just…

Concerned?
I don't know why I keep over stressing this. but I am just concerned I am a) not eating enough calories to lose the weight b) risking my bodies metabolism rate to slow down drastically and c) not eating the right foods. I've lost more weight since I have begun to make the attempt to eat 1600+ calories. My BMR is 1630, so I…

Input on my diary?
I've been faithfully tracking any and all food that touches my lips since the 23rd of February. It's been 15 days now and I'd like to see if anyone can critique me on it? I'm still needing to eat more proteins, and probably more veggies. I ordered a protein powder that has no artificial sweeteners/stevia so that will be a…

Protein Supplements WITHOUT artficial
sweeteners? I'm allergic to Stevia, sucralose, aspartame, etc. I've tried them over and over, but there is no hope. I looked at a few different protein powders today, but each one I found had sucralose in it. Are there any protein supplements out there that don't contain the artificial sweeteners? I'm not trying to use…

More Questions, Yay!
Hi Everyone, I have a few more questions that I'd love some input on. Thank you! 1) Macros. Mine are currently 40%carb/40% protein/20% fat. I'm consistently going over my fat % every day though. However, I don't know how I should adjust them? Should I take 5% from both carb and protein and give them to fat?Or should I take…

Advice for me?
Hi, I'm new here and trying to get this all situated. For some reason, I am having difficulties with how many calories I am intended to consume. A little about me. I'm a 27 year old female, 5'4, and 210 pounds. I am currently doing the C25k program, and I also walk 15 more minutes on treadmill, followed by 10-15 minutes on…
