Year 2: Unintended Maintenance/Slow Recomp
Not so much a success as a work in progress, but I wanted to post since I just hit 2 years on MFP: Edit: Split the front picture so it fits in the MFP format. Year 1 Year 2 Due to many circumstances over the past 365 days, I've failed to achieve my original goal of reaching a significantly lower BF %. Many factors were…

1 Year on MFP, 1 [M]illion+ Pounds Lifted!

If you had $1000 to spend on fitness, what would you do?
Hello all, new(ish) member here, started my fitness journey in late May. I'm looking for some fitness related input and figured some of the MFP forum members might help! :) If you had $1000 to spend on fitness (services or equipment), what would you do? I'm in an interesting position right now. I get a "wellness benefit"…

How to calculate your ideal weight!
I've answered this question a few times, so I figured I would make a new post for more to see! Many on the forums know that BMI is a terrible tool to estimate your ideal weight... but for lack of a better way, many continue to use it, or just guess at what their ideal weight should be, or just try to reach a previous…

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some more friends! I've still got a bunch to lose and could use the motivation and a few critical eyes to keep me on track. :) I'm also looking for more metalheads!

Help - Trouble estimating calories in french fries?
I'm having trouble determining the calories in french fries... the "official" numbers in MFP seem super high, almost 900 calories for a "single large potato", but other numbers across the net seem wildly all over the place. This is the first time I've run up against this - generally I find fairly consistent numbers when…

I've been doing a fair bit of reading on macros and balances, along with what's necessary (in general, and while on a restricted diet). Basically, I should be getting at least 165g of…

Nightmare/frustrating situation
So it was a friend's birthday yesterday. I got dragged to a house party about 30 km outside of town last night. I don't have a car, so caught a lift with a friend who said we could go for a short while and then head back into town. I even double checked with him that he was planning on coming back into the city. Point…
