So I've been away from MyFitnessPal for about 2 months. For the past 2 months, I had joined WW. Not sure why!! Oh, I know, I was steadily gaining weight and I lost my way, couldn't find my way back.

Write The Vision
Yesterday, I wrote my vision statement for my fitness goals. Writing down my fitness goals and laying them before God in prayer is powerful.

Well this is my question, if you are eating at a deficit TDEE 15% and you are lifting (not necessarily heavy) what is going on inside the muscles? What's the key to finding the balance…

Calories for homemade foods
Got a question. I've been cooking more to get away from the processed foods and the problem i'm having is trying to determine the correct calories for what I've made. So, I made some navy beans and I slowcooked with one small smoked turkey drumstick. I added too much water, so it's more like soup than a thick stew. How…
