What am I doing wrong? Can someone take a look at my food diary entry for today?
Hey everyone. I was on a role and was weighing 138 pounds a few months ago before depression hit me. I creeped up to 151 (this keeps fluctuating from 147 though, so not sure what my actual weight is at the moment). Anyway, although never stopped exercising altogether, I began to take my diet and workout routine much more…

How long before you began seeing results?
Hey all. I started Crossfitting a week ago and I love it so far. I went 5 times last week and I'm definitely getting a great workout. I am 5'6" and about 137 pounds (fluctuate occasionally to 140). At this point I am trying to really tone up because I don't have a whole lot of fat to lose. How long would you say it took…

Can you see a slight difference?
In 5 months I could have made a bigger change but it's not horrible. I started crossfire 3 weeks ago so hopefully there will be a bigger improvement in the next 5 months. http://www.picisto.com/photos/picisto-20150812214300-571537.jpg

Pre & Post Workout Supplements?
Started Crossfit two weeks ago and began splitting my meals up into 5-6 tiny meals per day. I'm eating 1,800 calories a day but I'm finding that on days that I go to Crossfit I still feel very hungry. Are there some pre/post workout supplements that I should be taking to help me with this? Maybe some kind of supplement to…

Crossfit to regain strength after a stroke?
Hi everyone. I started crossfit on Saturday and am loving it so far. I am trying to lose 10 pounds and tone up. I started bringing my little sister along with me and she is also enjoying it. She had a stroke in September of 2014 and was hospitalized for 2 weeks. We found out she suffers from a rare blood condition called…

Started Crossfit on Saturday...
and honestly don't know why I hadn't started sooner. I got more of a workout in an hour of CF than I normally would at the gym. I am loving it so far. Anyone else on here do it?

Jiggly tummy: I'm losing weight but tummy is still loose and squishy
Any tips? I've lost weight. I'm at 5'6" and 136 pounds. Ideally I'd like to be between 120 and 125. It seems that my arms, back, and legs shrink but my tummy still stays jiggly and squishy. I am working on the Stronglifts 5x5 routine as well as cardio and ab work. I've been dieting pretty strictly too. Are there any…

5'6" and 140 pounds. How long before you saw results?
Hey everyone. I've been eating at a deficit (Maintain 1200 calories a day and eat back my calories) and started the strong lifts 5x5 program a few weeks ago. The weight I'm lifting has been going up steadily. I seemed to have lost a pound after a week and a half of doing this but then within a few days I went up to 142 and…

My husband cheated on me...
Hey guys. I haven't been on in a week and my fitness goals have come to a temporary stop. I was doing the stronglifts 5x5 program and trying to lose weight and tone my body. I have lost 4 pounds this past week just by not eating. I was living in Rome with my husband of 4 years and my little sister had a stroke on October…

Too much sodium? Too much water? Two pound weight fluctuation...
Hey everyone. I was weighing in at 140 pounds yesterday (I'm trying to make it down to 125 and tone up a bit). This morning I was weighing in at 142.2. I am not in complete freakout mode because I know I can't gain two pounds in a day, especially not on a 1200 calorie diet but I was wondering what could lead to this…

These late night cravings...
Will be the death of me. I am SOOO hungry and it is taking everything within me to not get up and go to the kitchen.

Another pound down...
15 to go! Starting to notice a slightly flatter tummy. You all weren't lying when you say the last 10-15 pounds are extremely difficult. I've been killing it at the gym.

Is this diet/gym regime too intense? Opinions, please!
Hi everyone! I'm 24 years old, 5'6" and weigh 141 pounds. I carry most of my weight in my tummy, arms and back and I don't have a butt. I want to change that. I met with a personal trainer at Planet Fitness (I don't like that gym, but it's close to my house so it's convenient). Anyway, the only personal trainer they have…

Feeling pretty depressed today...overate
I think I overate today. Going through an international divorce at 24 years old and spoke to my husband over webcam today after not having spoken to him in a week. My plan to go to the gym went out the window. Still feeling hungry and stressed even though I feel like I overate. I didn't track the calories, but I did have…

When will the hunger pangs go away?
I started restricting my calories on Monday and have started being very cautious about what I eat but some days I feel extremely hungry. Will my body eventually get used to the calorie restriction so that I don't have these terrible hunger pangs? I feel like eating everything in sight right now. I have been exercising 4-5…

Stronglifts 5x5 for women: pictures and advice?
Hey everyone! I posted a thread yesterday about this super intense 2.5 workout that an inexperienced personal trainer gave me and asked MFP members for their opinions. Quite a few people suggested strong lifts 5x5. I tried it today and enjoyed it, although it was extremely difficult. I was wondering if any women here have…

Lifting Weights and Boxing, not losing weight...
I switched up my exercise routine and have been weight lifting, doing TRX, and boxing. I work out between 5 and 6 days a week. However, the weight on the scale has stayed the same. I have cut down on the amount that I eat and don't overdo it. I can't figure out why I'm having such a hard time losing weight after bringing…

Weighing 147 before easter, 152 today. HOW!?
Is this even possible? My diet was going great up until Saturday. I was eating 1200 calories a day. Naturally, on Easter I cheated (I live in Italy with my husband and on Easter the Italians exaggerate) although I did not eat any pasta. Anyway, I weighed myself today and weigh 151 pounds. I do feel bloated, but is it…

Should I really be cutting out carbs?
Because that's what I hear pretty frequently. But to be honest, I stay at about 1200 calories a day but really like a piece of white pizza (I live in Italy) to accompany my salad or veggies. 75 grams of it comes out to about 230 calories. What do you all think?

Need to lose 20, not that much but it sure feels like a lot!
It has been super difficult. Normally I can make it down to 142-143 before my weight starts quickly climbing back up. Not sure what exercises I should be doing to lose and maintain the weight. I feel like my eating is under control. It's just getting under 140 that has been impossible! Suggestions?

Maybe this fitbit ? was already answered, still confused!
How come my fitbit app says I can eat up to 991 calories a day and MFP says I should be on a 1200 calorie a day diet? What is more accurate. Also, what does everything below mean? Someone please help! Thank you. You're using Fitbit to measure your actual activity level throughout the day. To accurately reflect any extra…

Losing Weight in Rome
I am married to an Italian and live in Rome. I have to say that losing weight in Italy has been super difficult. All of the food is very carb heavy. I feel like I've been stuck in the 140's since forever. I just weighed myself and realized I lost another pound. Just a couple more pounds to go before I'm out of the 140's.…

Anyone with a personal trainer?
For the past year I've been doing circuits, cardio, and an hour of spinning 3x a week. I've only lost 10 pounds this past year. I have a friend who sees a personal trainer and in a year she has dropped a ton of weight and even had a six pack going on. I cannot afford a personal trainer. I was wondering if there is anyone…

Circuit Training
I wasn't getting many results with cardio and weight machines lately so my husband's cousin who is a personal trainer at our gym put me on a circuit training plan and BAM! 2 pounds lost this week. If you're having a hard time losing weight try circuits!!!

Is this even possible!?!?!
I'm seriously surprised! Normally I lose like 1 pound every 2 weeks. Two weeks ago I weighed 147 pounds. It took me a week to drop down to 146. But this past week I weighed myself on Friday and weighed 145. I weighed myself again on Sunday and weighed 144. Now I weighed myself this morning and weighed in a 143. I have…

Kind of a strange question...
I live in Rome, Italy and am afraid to drive a car here. When my husband and I go to the gym, he drives. He has to go out of town for the next 3 days and I can't stand the idea of not going to the gym because I'm on a roll right now. He is also at school twice a week so those are days I can't make it to the gym. Does…
