2 years on MFP today
You've probably read this kind of post a thousand times already... but it's quite incredible to be here for the first time myself! I would n't have believed this could have been possible just 2 years ago. I decided to join My Fitness Pal on May 28th 2012, exactly 2 years ago. It was hot, almost summer, and I was in a very,…

Improving my shape without dropping weight/inches
Hello guys, I've been on MFP for almost 1 year 10 months up to now and I've lost 17 kgs, starting from 83 kgs. I'm female, 22 years old, 165 cm, and now weight around 66 kgs, which puts in me in the high part of the healthy BMI range for my height, but I think I've come very far and I'm satisfied of the result. I have…

Is it impossible to lose 1 kg/week at my height and weight?
I was giving a quick look to my food goals and I've found out that, even being at 1200 kcals allowed per day, I am not meant to lose 1 kg per week, but only 0.6 kgs. This is not what I am aiming for, but I can't decrease my calories to less than 1200, obviously. My TDEE (calculated by MFP) is 1810 kcals, which means that…

Is it better to eat fruit alone or within a meal?
First of all, sorry if I make some mistakes, I can't speak English that well. Hope you can understand my question anyway :) I am a vegetarian and a huge fan of fruits. I usually have 2-3 pieces of fruit everyday: at breakfast, as morning or afternoon snack, or at the end of dinner and lunch if I'm still hungry. I usually…

I seriously don't know how many calories I should be eating
I've been using MFP for 1,5 years up to now and lost 15 kgs. Now I'm almost close to mainteinance (I don't dislike my weight that much, even if I'm still plump), so I've settled my weekly goal to 0,5 kgs to lose. To be honest my actual goal is to reach 67 kgs at the 19th of December: 800 grams to lose in almost 2 weeks,…

Do occasional binges affect weightloss?
The title's kind of misleading... I'll try to explain myself as much as I can with my knowledge of the english language. Forgive me if this has already been asked. So, we know that, in order to lose weight, we've got to eat at a deficit. For the sake of this argument it's not important how much we exercise or how much we…

1 calorie oil
Hello, I was thinking about trying these kinds of products out (such as FryLight or similar) but I can't seem to find them here in Italy so I would like to know more opinions about them, especially if it's worth buying them online or not. I usually put a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in my salad or a teaspoon in my…

Weightloss & dealing with socially deep-rooted ideas
I've never opened a topic on here before (at least not to rant) so it's kind of weird to me, but I think that no one can give me a honest opinion about this whole thing more than people who are trying to lose weight as I am. I've always been overweight and I've started dieting 1,5 years ago because I felt ugly all the time…

Winter meals
I don't know if this is the right place to post this topic, since it's connected to weight loss, but anyway... I've started my diet in May 2012 and I've almost had no problems in dieting throughout spring and summer, but it gets harder during winter. I live in a cold place in which all you wish for is sitting in bed all…
