Starting yet again and off to a terrible start
I need to commit to getting back to a healthy weight. The fatter I get, the more my asthma flares up. I have logged everything today...and the good news is I still have a few hundred calories for dinner. The positive is, it’s so hot, I don’t crave food. The negative is I am thirsty. I didn’t log water and unsweetened tea,…

Food Allergies and diet
I have a few new food allergies to work around. I also mostly eat out. Help! I am struggling to find food I can eat. I had a BLT sandwich with no mayo for dinner. I can’t have egg, white potatoes, coconut, palm oil, turkey, lamb, pork, strawberries, fish or nuts. I dislike steak and get tired of chicken. I liked salad with…

Had to buy bigger clothes...
I spent the day shopping for bigger clothes. I am watching my calories, sticking to 1200 calories without eating back my exercise calories, using my elliptical and gaining weight. Go me... I just don’t lose on 1200 calories. I am pretty sure it has something to do with me having an eating disorder in my younger days. My…

8.6 lbs in a week?
Is it possible to gain 8.6 lbs in a week? Last Friday morning I was 167.8. This morning I was 176.4. The only difference is I had a few beers for St.patricks day and I started exercising. Not much.. At most 30 minutes a day on the elliptical or bicycle. The scale is not moving down with just diet alone. I did log the beer.…

How did you decide your goal weight?
I am seeing others my same height posting goal weights vastly different than my goal. Some are close to what I weigh now, which I say is my "fat size". Is it a certain size you were before? A goal to just get to a certain pant or dress size you think sounds good? How do you decide what weight you want to become? My current…

Low Calorie Limits
Starting my own thread based on my specifics. I used another calculator ( http://caloriecontrol.org/healthy-weight-tool-kit/assessment-calculator/) to calculate and for my goal weight of 124 lbs, I will have a daily limit of 1453 calories to maintain that weight. To get to below 124, I will need a total limit of 953. Goal…

1200 Calorie Limit No matter what settings?
I was playing with the settings and I get a 1200 calorie limit if I choose .5 lb a week or 2 lbs a week. How is that possible? It does not seem to make sense. Is this a flaw in the apps calculations?

Same calories for 1 lb or 2 a week?
How does it make sense to have a 1200 calorie limit the same, with the settings set to lose 1 lb per week, as 2 lbs per week? What am I missing?

Eating out frequently
We eat out often. How do you weigh while eating out? I try to order things like salads, no dressing, etc.

Adding alcohol
Hello, I have not been around for awhile. Life got busy. In 2014, I lost lots of weight and was down to 120-125lbs. Which is a great weight for me. I have gained since then and now back up to 140lbs. I refuse to get heavy again. I have not been logging food but eat fairly well.. Last summer I reintroduced alcohol back into…

Vacation and logging questions
We are going on a two week cruise in November and I believe we will be away from wifi. Will my fit bit still record my steps then sync once we return? Will I still be able to log my food on mfp? Should I prelog my coffee into mfp before we leave so I don't have to start over in my logged in count? How have you handled…

Why is allotted calories the same
I am not really losing the weight as fast as I would like so I was playing around with the settings. It allots me 1200 calories regardless if I put I want to lose .5 or 2 lbs a week. Why is that? Could it be I need less calories to lose? After the initial 2 weeks, I am not even averaging 1/2 lb a week. But mfp gives the…

Not eating 1200 calories
Hi, I am here because I want to get back to a good weight again. I tried this a few years ago but never changed what I ate. I seem to remember always running out of calories even with exercise. Needless to say I lost almost no weight. This time is different. I have changed my whole diet and cut out most of the crap foods…
