Another TDEE Question (Sorry!)
Hey everyone. I just have a quick question and I can't seem to find an answer in previous threads that fits my situation. Long story short, I've been eating at 1,600 calories for a while now, and also started heavy lifting 2 months ago on top of running which I've been doing for about a year. The 1,600 comes from my TDEE -…

A Rough Day
Hey everyone. Today kind of sucked in terms of my diet and exercise, and I just sort of need to let it all out. In terms of my diet, I found out today that I've been getting a good deal less protein than I realized for months. All because the damn scoop that came with my protein powder was buried at the bottom of the…

Plateau Broken!
Hey everyone! I'm so excited! I've been stuck at a plateau for about a month and a half and it's been so frustrating. My weight has been bouncing between a 2-3 pound range, but it was never falling below my lowest recorded weight. But that has ended today! The scale dropped 0.6 lbs, which officially puts me over the half…

Running Beyond 5K
Hey there all you lovely runners! I have a question for you all. But first, some background information! Long story short, I've been running for a little under a year and have managed to build up to 3 miles and very rarely 4 (like twice). I've run four races so far, all 5Ks. The thing is, I want to start increasing my…

Fitness NSV!
Today has been a great and intense day! I start running almost a year ago, and when I started I couldn't even run a mile without having to stop. But I kept training and eventually I ran two 5Ks, one in October and the other in December. And then I stopped, which was a bad idea, but school picked up and life got busy. But I…

A Roller Coaster Morning
So this morning I did my official weight in like I do every Friday. I stepped on the scale...and I gained 1.2 lbs! I was somewhat upset to see I had gained weight instead of lost it, but I just tried to tell myself that it's probably just from not drinking enough water lately and that it'll be better next week. I couldn't…

Should I Count It?
I have a small dilemma. I'm currently studying geology in college and so I have some classes that require me to do field work. The class I'm in now started out with just wandering around on river banks, so it didn't really warrant me adding it to my daily logs. But the class is picking up in intensity and so I'm starting…

Frustration Is Not Fun
Hi all. So I've been logging on MFP for a month or so now, and it's been great. The weight was just dropping off and my running was improving too. All was well. Until this week anyway. For some reason I've apparently gained around 2 lbs. back, which is depressing since I've only lost 9 so far. Now, I did 'cheat' twice…
