Running for Weight Loss???
I have been using MFP since the beginning of April and a couple weeks in I started 30 Day Shred, though it is not every day because of 2 very busy children and ball game schedules. I have also just started to incorporate more lifting into my exercise regimen. I have lost about 14 pounds so far, and want to lose 21 more to…

Dumb Lifting Question
I am very new to this, so please forgive the stupid question I am about to ask. When I tried to log my lifting, why is there no where to put in calories burned? Today was my first day and I loved it and burned 168 cals per my HRM in 20 minutes. I want credit for that! :-)

Fat Thighs
I have got the FATTEST thighs ever!!! Always have, even when I was younger and weighed much less. I have lost 14 lbs so far (want to lose 21 more) and my stomach is really looking good, but what can I do about these stupid thighs? Will it ever come off from there? I have seen so many ladies with gorgeous toned thighs and…

My stats are as follows: Age: 38 SW: 170 CW: 160 GW: 135 Height: 5'5" Activity: third grade teacher and 30 Day Shred 3-5…

Will I Really Lose More?
Will I really lose more if I up my calories? Most days I do not net 1000, even though my goal is 1200. Today I bumped it up to 1350. I feel like maybe I am not eating enough. Please help! :grumble:

Is My Goal Weight Too Low?
I am 5'4.5" and started at 170. I am now at 160. I saw my doctor today who is helping me along this journey and is pleased with the progress I have made. However, when she asked me what my goal was and I replied with 135, she immediately told me that was too thin. REALLY? My current BMI is a 27. She said that is healthy,…

Over onCertain Macros...
To meet my calorie goal, I am almost always over in some area...sometimes fat, sometimes sugar, and sometimes carbs. How do I handle this? Is one area better than others to be over in? I have them set as protein 40%, carbs and fat 30%, to help me steer clear of lots of carbs and work on increasing my protein. Any…

Need Help!!!
I have been taking phentermine 37.5 for almost 4 weeks. Since I began taking them, I have lost my cravings for sugar and carbs. It has really curbed my appetite. I am counting my calories and I am trying to exercise several times a week. I want to make this a lifestyle change, with the help of the medication to get me…

How many calories should I be eating?
This is so confusing and frustrating to me. I don't think I am eating enough to lose... I am a 38 year old female. My weight is 165. My goal weight is 135. I workout 5/6 times a week and burn around 350 cals per workout. According to what I have read a figured, my body fat % is 37. My BMR (Harris-Benedict) is 1500. My TDEE…

Easier to hit 1200 cals on junk...Why can't I now??
Why is it that obviously I didn't have a problem eating at or way above 1200 calories when I wasn't caring what I ate; hence the reason I am here...But now that I do care and am trying to eat better and exercise, I cannot net 1200 calories? That makes NO sense to me...I am just not hungry when I exercise. I am never going…

Greek Yogurt Question
I currently eat Oikos greek nonfat honey yogurt, which I love! However, what is stated on the container does not match what comes up in MFP. The container says that one serving size is the entire container (5.3 oz/150g). However, when I scan the barcode and it comes up, it says that a serving is half a container, so I…

Upping Protein, Cutting Back Carbs
I am trying to add more protein to my diet, but am not a huge meat eater. I love fruit and most vegetables, but am not a fantastic cook and tend to stick with the same old boring things. I do not eat fish at all, unfortunately. I know I need to cut back on carbs, they are my weakness. I have tried to make some healthy…

Weight Loss without Exercise???
Anyone else out there only able to lose by NOT exercising? I know that sounds crazy, but I have finally stopped exercising and am sticking to 1200 cals and I am finally losing after 5-6 weeks of gaining and losing the same 2 pounds. Just wondered if anyone else has run into this??? If I continue to lose this way, my plan…

Cals Consumed or Net?
Which number should I go by? The number of calories I consume, or my net calories after exercise? My net cals are very low and I am not losing. My calorie intake goal is now 1600 (after being at 1200 and not losing) and I am burning between 300-400 most days, some days more. Please help. It is so frustrating to be eating…

Losing at 1200 cals??
I have tried low cals and higher cals. Nothing seems to be working...so, I am going BACK to low cals (1200). Please respond if you've had success with this. I need all the support I can get. I've been using MFP since July 1st and feel like I should have lost much more than I have. I am so frustrated. Some people have told…

Macros Question
I inevitablely go over one or more of my micros a day...like sugar, fats, carbs, etc. Which one should I worry about the most? It's usually sugar that I go over on, but my sugar comes promarily from fruit. I just really struggle to find that balance.:ohwell:

Please offer advice...
I am currently 163 lbs and 5'5". My goal is 135-140. I started trying to lose at the end of June with a starting weight of 170. I lost 5 lbs pretty quickly, then began working out 6 days a week with Jillian Michael's Body Revolution. At that point, I continued to gain and lose the same 2 lbs for about 5 weeks (super…

Almond Butter
Well, my love for peanut butter on granny smith apples led me to try almond butter because I LOVE almonds. BLEHHH! That was one of the most horrible things I have ever tried! YUCK! I quickly threw it out and grabbed by jar of peanut butter. It's funny though, I don't even like peanuts, but LOVE peanut butter. Anyone else…

Making a Change
So, since I have been losing and gaining the same 2 pounds for the past four weeks, I am changing my plan. I am going to cut out my exercise until I lose about 15 pounds and then start back. I am going to stick to 1200 calories and see what kind of results I get. I don't know what I was doing wrong...I think at first I was…

Eating Junk...and Losing????
I have a good friend who has lost over 20 pounds using MFP, while not working out, and eating junk. I mean serioulsy eating junk - I've seen her diary. I eat healthy, and workout 5-6 times a week and am not losing. What gives???:grumble: PS...I just changed my cal goal today to 1200. It was at 1600 the past few weeks,…

Proper Balance
What is the proper ratio for carbs, proteins, and fats? I have played around with my calories quite a bit because I have yet to find what works for me to lose. I have now gone back to 1200 a day. I will be sure to "net" that many now since before I wasn't. My exercise was messing me up and keeping me from netting 1200. Any…

Beyond Frustrated
I am about ready to give up...I am NOT losing weight! I am doing Jillian Michael's Body Revolution (week 6) after about four weeks of Slim in Six and eating very well. I drink tons of water. At first I thought I wasn't eating enough, so I upped my cals, and that is not working either. I have figured my TDEE and BMI and…

Upping Calories Question
How can I up my cals without upping my sugar and carbs? I am really trying to keep my carbs low, and am almost always going over my "24" sugars because of fruits and the honey I add to my greek yogurt.

Enough Calories Without Going Over Elsewhere???
So, here is my situation, which happens to me often. After several weeks of not losing, I upped my cal intake to 1600. However, on most days, I am over my "goals" in carbs, or sugars, or some other area, before even reaching 1600 cals. I'm not sure how to address this. I am eating fairly well, very little junk. How do I…
