Weight Loss Jealousy?
So I've been doing a lot better with consistency with nutrition and exercising and I'm happy that I have been losing weight slowly and gaining muscle definition. But I have a friend who has lost a lot of weight recently. Like, more than 2 pounds per week weight loss. It's been 12ish weeks since I started this and I've only…

Scale vs Inches
Are you more focused on what you see on the scale or the inches you've lost (or gained) and how you feel? A couple of days ago I jumped on the scale because I felt lighter just to see that I've gained 5 pounds somehow. My clothes (specifically my uniforms) fit a lot better than they used to but I'm somehow gained 5 pounds.…

Gained 10 pounds but inches are the same?
Did this happen to anyone else? I've noticed in the last few weeks I've somehow gained 10 pounds and when I go to measure myself, the inches are still the same from before I gained the weight. I have no clue where it's going. I did recently go and get my RMR/BMR tested to find out exactly how many calories I burn doing…

Carbs in all foods?
I'm trying to limit the amount of crabs I consume per day but when I tried accurately logging all my food yesterday, I noticed there are carbs in almost everything. My question is should I be focusing on ALL carbs consumed, or the carbs from breads, pastas, etc.? Or should I disregard the carbs from whole grain foods and…

Eat More to Weigh Less? I THINK NOT!
So I took the advice from people here and I upped my calories by 480 (to 1680) because apparently I should be eating more so I can lose weight. I have been doing this for a couple of weeks now and NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. I weigh exactly the same if not a pound or 2 more. I've been going to the gym and doing cardio mixed with…

Over 1000 calories left and it's DINNER TIME O.O
So it is dinner time around where I am and according to my diary, I have over 1000 calories left to consume for the day. How am I going to get all these calories in? I am stuck at work too for the next 12 hours and all I have with me is a tuna sandwich on wheat and one of those vitatops...

Why do I even bother?
I am so close to just giving up on losing any more weight because it just seems like my body feels like it doesn't need to. I still have this stupid gut to get rid of and it seems that no matter what I do, it won't go away. I've been on a plateau for like the past month and I read on here if I up my calories, it should do…

Recipes - NO OVEN REQUIRED
I love this section of the message boards because it gives me so many ideas on what I can do to change it up. But I can't help but notice how there are so many recipes that require the use of an oven. Unfortunately, I have given the next 4 years of my life to the military and probably not going to have use of an oven…

Going Clothes Shopping
Okay, so I have been losing weight for a while now and sometimes (like this morning) I look in the mirror and I'm like DAMN I'm looking better and thinner everyday! But then I'll go to the mall and try on clothes and my self esteem just plummets because the clothes that should fit me look horrible on me or are too small.…

Mmm Cardio
So what does everyone do for cardio? I usually run on a treadmill at 12 resistance and 5.5 mph (so I don't kill myself) for about 25-30 minutes and lately I got into Zumba which is so much fun. But I'm kind of tired of doing the treadmill because I hear its so bad for your knees and it's starting to get repetitive. Also…

Hola
Hi everyone. So I am new to using MyFitnessPal online, but I have been using the app for about 2 years now and I'm on and off with it because of me not being able to continuously stay eating healthy and exercising. I will say I definitely need support. I know that many of us want to lose weight/get toned to be in shape and…
