Starting my cut- changed body chemistry
I have two weeks before my cut is scheduled but I think I'm going to begin it early. The last few days I've noticed a huge shift in my body...hard to explain, but it feels like the chemistry is different. I've been doing high intensity circuit training 5x a week and even my rest days feel like stuff is happening! Eating at…

A different kind of emotional eating
I made a recent discovery I thought was worth sharing. I'm in the metabolism reset stage, and I think I'm over the worst of the "fluffy bloated" part because my body seems very stable and the scale is actually creeping down all on its own. Before I did this, if someone asked me if I was "an emotional eater", I would have…

not afraid to ask a stupid question: TDEE and net
I've been doing this for a week but I swear my brain really struggles with all the acronyms and numbers. I'm going over everything again just to be sure I don't totally screw up on this bloaty reset phase! My numbers: CW: 160 GW: 145 maybe BMR = 1480 TDEE (light activity) = 2035 CUT of 15% = 1730 I've been inactive while…

Ha ha! Breakthrough moment!

So I just updated my diary and had a little ah-ha moment. Usually I'm so pumped to see the words, "completed her food diary and was under her calorie goal" but now I see AH…

Stuck in a moment that I can't get out of - intro
Hi all. I'm trying to get my head around this but I'm nervous. Here's a quick run down: I'm 5' 6", 160 lbs; want to weigh about 142 and be lean and trim like I was a couple of years ago (feeling good in a size 6/8, muscular, training for sprint level triathlons) I've been doing MFP for about 35 days. Started at "active"…

Oh my word. UP 4 lbs!
My goal was to LOSE 15. I've been up for days, enough to wear I don't feel like I can blame bloating from my cycle or water weight or anything. My goal count is 1320. My net has been under that every day since I started (about a week and a half?) My activity hasn't been very high (injury recovery; starting back with…

How many calories can I really have?
HI all, I'm new and primarily use the app. I have my phone in my hand all day so this is super easy for tracking and making choices. I noticed an immediate improvement! But here's my little dilemma: I've been doing this for just under a week. The first two days I struggled to eat under my recommended count because I wasn't…
