22lbs lost... 9 to go!
I've always been kind of 'soft' even as a kid, so I've never actually experienced what it's like to be fit and trim. I remember stepping on the scale when I was in grade 11 (2010) and seeing 128lbs. I thought nothing of it and I'm pretty sure I immediately went and ate a burger after seeing it. At 5'5" that was perfectly…

How do you stay consistent?
Hey guys! I'm really terrible at staying consistent. I can do so good for like a week or two, and then as soon as I get a taste of something off my plan, I have a hard time getting back on board. I've been working on making my diet more sustainable (finally incorporating carbs back into my diet) but it seems like as soon…

21 Day Fix??
Do any of you have any experience with it? I've done a lot of research so I know exactly what it is, I just want to hear if any of you guys have tried it, and if so, what do you think? Better yet, what were your results? Thanks!! Feel free to send me a friend request. :smiley:

How long should I spend working out?
Hey guys! So I had a consultation with a personal trainer and I started basing my routine on what he suggested, but it pretty much cut in half the amount of time I spent in the gym because he wanted me to separate cardio and strength days. Currently on a cardio day I do HIIT for 30 minutes on the treadmill, 1 min 4.8 and…

Strength Training? Gains???
Hello all! I'm new to the weightroom so I was wondering if you guys could offer a little guidance. I've googled this but I haven't really found a straight answer that's dumbed down for a rookie like myself. I'm interested in losing fat and toning up as well as building strength. My current exercise routine consists of…

Falling Off the Bandwagon
I've been struggling to lose around 20-30lbs for a couple years now. I've bounced between diets and pills and grueling exercise regimes and strict calorie intake but it seems like as soon as I start making some progress, I stumble and lose everything I worked so hard for. I have yet to find something that really works for…

Weight lifting... where do I start?
Hey guys! I just got a gym membership and I want to start lifting weights, but I don't know where to start! Anyone have any pointers as to what equipment I should use and how many reps and how much weight I should use? I have two 5lb weights at home that I use every second day for my arms, and other strength training is…

What Motivates You?
What tips and tricks do you use to keep yourself motivated and inspired? Personally, tumblr is a big one for me. My whole dashboard is filled with health-related things and skinny healthnuts. I also watch "What I eat" videos on Youtube which inspire me to eat healthy and gives me ideas for new recipes. To make sure I keep…

Success on a Vegetarian Diet?
Hellooo! I've done a lot of research regarding low-carb diets and I've been following one (varying in intensity) for quite a while, on and off. I was a vegetarian for 3 months until a nutritionist recommended I start eating meat because it would make my progress quicker. I don't really think I saw many results, but then…

Will Keto help me lose the last 10?
Hey! So today is my first day of cutting carbs ( I was eating 100g a day), and I've been doing a lot of research and mixed reviews regarding whether or not keto will really help me shed the extra weight because I'm fairly close to my goal. Has anyone else lost the last 5/10/15lbs using keto successfully? I heard that the…

2 Pieces of bread a day too much?
I've been trying lowcarb for a lil while now, and I've been aiming to eat 100g carbs a day (which usually means about 80net carbs), but every day for breakfast I have two pieces of toast with peanut butter because it's my favourite. Do you think too many of my carbs are coming from bread? The rest of my carbs usually come…

The Last 10lbs
Hey guys! I've been working out and eating right pretty rigorously since January (at least most days) and I have yet to see any significant results. I'm 5'5" and 139lbs, and I would like to get down to 125-130. I've just started counting calories/carbs again recently so I'm hoping this month will show me some results, but…

Looking for Friends and Support!
Hey everyone! I've had a MFP account for a while but I usually go through spurts of activity and then inactivity. So I think if I had more friends I'd feel more pressured to work hard and track my intake (and pressure is good for me!). I'd also love to help anyone and support you on your journey as well. :) Thanks!

How to lose the last 20lbs?
Heyy. I live a pretty healthy lifestyle. I eat relatively clean 90% of the time(and around 1600cals a day), workout 5 times a week (running and pilates, usually a 45-50 min workout), and I'm just wondering how to get rid of that last 15-20lbs? Maybe I'm just being impatient but my weight hasn't budged for 3 weeks. I just…

Gaining Weight?!
Hey guys! So I'm getting really frustrated. I've been eating healthily since January 1st (been doing it for a lot longer but my healthy mentality was shot during the holidays so I started over for the new year), but I appear to have gained weight? I cut out breads and dairy products and focused on eating a lot of tuna and…
