Weird meal combinations?
I've noticed that sometimes in an effort to have a more filling breakfast (I don't get up early enough to cook actual breakfast foods) I end up eating odd combinations just because. This morning for example: Leftover Morning Star Farms Spicy Black Bean Burger (just the patty) & Graze Box Raspberry coconut muffin. Because I…

Has anyone done the 30 day Plank Challenge?
I started the 30 day plank challenge yesterday and I would like to hear some feedback from others who have completed it. IF you were not super fit to begin with your feedback will be most helpful, as I am squishy rather than toned. lol. Any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks!

Why am I losing weight slowly?
Now, before you start advising me on food scales, eating clean, and HRM...keep reading. Same story as most people on here, I've struggled with weight issues, ED, and weight loss for a long time. I got to the bottom of why I had ED, healed from it and then became overweight because I never dealt with my emotional eating…

NSV - Thought I was wearing the wrong pants!
When I was at my heaviest I bought a pair of jeans that worked and I've bought the same exact jeans in the next 2 sizes down as I've lost weight. I donated the size 12 when the size 10 started fitting. When the size 8 started fitting I held on to the 10s which came in handy over the holidays. :laugh: Today my pants have…

Worried about maintaining
I am actually still 11 lbs away from maintenance, but I'm excited to move on from "always trying to lose weight". I got to my goal weight 4 years ago on WW. The WW meetings in my area aren't really set up for those who are maintaining. I was told "well, you just keep adding and taking away until you figure it out." No one…

Help from other bike riders needed.
I've been riding my bicycle for exercise for a while now, but it is hard to accurately count my burn. The trail I ride is about 8 miles and I ride it in 45 min or less, so I know that my speed is 10 mph. I record this using MFPs 10-12 mph option. My bike is a regular one speed (my peddling). My husband as a multi-speed…

Keyboard Warriors
So...how about when people are asking for help DON'T berate them or call them liars just because their food diary doesn't look like yours and they are doing things DIFFERENTLY. There are MANY ways to get the job done. If people are asking for help in SPECIFIC areas, don't leave comments berating their slow progress because…

Do you eat all of your exercise calories back?
I have been doing fairly well for the past 4 weeks (translated, better than I usually do.) Been sticking to my calories and eating exercise calories back (MFP set to sedentary so I track any activity) But for the last 2 weeks I've shown .1 lb loss each week. I am trying to not get discouraged, but I don't know what i'm…

Ugh. Need encouragement
I have lost 4 lbs in the past 3 weeks. So proud. BUT then today (weigh in day) scales says I am up about 1.5 lbs. I DID go over last week by about 900 calories...but if it takes a 3500 calorie deficit to lose 1 lb then by that math I would have to have gone by a HUGE amount of calories to gain. I figured going over would…

3 lb loss after metabolic reset!
I know 3 lbs isn't a lot, but I have been unable to convince my body to lose weight for a while now. I tried everything. So, instead I gave myself 9 weeks to reset my metabolism, and voilà! I've lost 3 lbs in less than 2 weeks. (Official weigh in is tomorrow for 2 week mark.) I've even dropped a pants size, and even the…

Starting the scary road to metabolic repair...
For years I've struggled with eating disorders and emotional eating...that coupled with yo-yo dieting has left me with metabolic damage. I've been eating low calories for so long that my body refuses to lose weight. (YES I tracked religiously AND did cardio AND weight training. No one ever told me that you could damage…

Question about vacation dieting
I am currently on a 4 week metabolic repair at 1830 calories (BMR calculated) I will be dropping back down to my weight loss calories of 1330 a few days before vacation. Vacation will include LOTS of walking...but limited (mostly fast food) choices. No way to cook meals or store fresh foods. So, my quesiton is: Would you…

Trusting God in this journey
Hello! I'm new to the group. I have been on MFP for over a year. I have struggled with eating disorders, emotional eating, and weight loss/gain for a long time now. MOSTLY I derail myself by letting my emotions get the best of me. So, a few weeks ago I told God, "I want to be healed of my emotional eating, I give this to…

I am 34 and struggled with eating disorders in high school, which I know can affect hormones & metabolism. I am currently overweight. Last summer I worked very hard for 4 to my 1200 calorie plan AND worked out at least 3-4 times a week. And I lost 2 bls. 2 LBS! I gave it a few more weeks and the scale stayed the same. I…
