I am back! Starting over.
It’s been around 2 years since I was active. I’m starting over. COVID was not good for my weight. I had to stop going to the gym and I got really bad habits. I stopped logging. Anyway, so I’m back where I started. I’m not discouraged though. I’ve deleted all my old weight entries and I’m starting over fresh. I’m going to…

I’m back to the 160’s!
For the first time in 5 years I’m back to being in the 160’s. Also, I fit some shirts I had that didn’t fit before. :)

Are these heart rate monitor calories right?
I have a Myzone M3 heart rate monitor that I use at the gym. My stats show I burned around 500 calories. This is a monitor that is around the chest area, so it should be accurate. I did an hour of cycling with an average of 162 bpm. The bike said I burned around 250, but there were no heart rate tracking on the bike. I…

Best broth for ramen?
I love ramen, but the packaged kind has too much sodium a lot of the time and it’s just not that healthy. I found this really cool organic ramen, but the problem is the broth flavor tastes like dirt. The noodles would taste good with a great broth, but I don’t cook and know next to nothing about broth. I was hoping someone…

Need more friends.
If you are active on MFP I need more friends. I just need more friends in general. I was just thinking about it and realized I don’t have very many friends on here and I’ve been on here for a long time.

I’m back to 179!
I let myself get off track for the past 3 years and just a few months ago I was in the 190’s again. I have gotten back on track and after a headache of a plateau I finally began losing weight again. Now I’m back to 179 for the first time in a long time! I also fit two pairs of jeans I bought a few months ago. They were…

After Work Snack ideas?
I’m having trouble with being really hungry after my 6 hour shifts at work on Tuesday, and now Friday too. I don’t know what to do because I tried protein bars, and snack bars. I’m afraid of bringing real food because I don’t want it to go bad. The hard thing is that I really want real food after work and not protein bars.…

Help With Starbucks Calories?
Hey, so I got a flat white at Starbucks today. I need help estimating the calories because I had them make it different than they usually do. It was a venti sized Flat white made with heavy cream. There was enough cream in it to make it tan. I’m just not sure how many calories it was. 🤔

Chocolate and Water Weight
Will chocolate make me gain water weight? I feel like I’ve heard that before. I’m going to start drinking more water again and this question came to mind because Easter is soon and I have chocolate around the house. I’m not really all that worried, just curious.

1200 Calories and Listening to Your Body
I’ve found eating 1200 calories very manageable as long as I understand what my body is asking for. It’s possible to not be hungry on this amount of calories if you eat right. I have noticed I only get really hungry when I haven’t eaten enough protein. Some days if I’ve had a truly good meal the day before I’m not hungry…

I've Been Losing Weight... During the Holidays!
I don't think there was another year this has happened! I think this is the first time I've been losing eight during the holidays! It feels so good! I haven't been logging it here, but I gained a little and now I've lost what I gained since last month! I'm back down to 184. I usually eat between 1200 and 1450. I've been…

Taking breaks from losing
Does anyone besides me take breaks from trying to lose? Every few pounds I'll eat at maintanrnce for a couple of weeks. I like taking it easy every once in a while. My body seems to respond well to this. I don't mind going slow.

Eating a HUGE breakfast before the gym?
When I started I actually began by doing this a lot. I would burn a lot of it off and it worked. I've slowed down voluntarily over the past three years, but I want to know if anyone eats a huge meal before the gym. Sometimes I would eat 1200 in one meal and still loose 2lbs a week. It was nice, but I like being more chill…

Accurate calories on machines
Would you say halving the amount of calories cardio machines say I burn would be more accurate? I know they tend to over count. I've even been putting my weight in as 10lbs lighter than I actually am lately. I figured that would help. My heart rate is always above 157.

Jamba Juice oatmeal
I just got a Jamba Juice oatmeal with brown sugar and banana. I logged it as an oatmeal with brown sugar which shows as being 220. The banana oatmeal in the system says 280 though. I added a quarter of a banana. Do you think this is accurate? Should I add more calories?

I need a bit of motivation
I got down to 162 February 2015. I started out at 204 in the end of 2013. I kind of gained 15 after i got half way during the summer and I've been going off track and rollercoastering up and down between 177 and 168 since the beginning of the year. I could have easily gotten back down, but I just have bouts of laziness. I…

Protein Bars and Powder
Do you people have a favorite? For protein bars I love B-UP For powder I like Spiru Tein (so many flavors!). When I don't care about taste I like Garden of Life Raw Meal Protein Powder. It is super healthy. It's pretty easy to make it taste good but you have to add stuff.

Well, I'm back to 178
I started out two years ago at 205. I was at 163 last year at this time. My scale broke around summer and I got lazy. I gained weight obviously. I started losing after I got my Fitbit Aria around Christmas. I was 178 at the time. I've gone up and down ever since because I keep getting reckless. It's just hard sometimes…

im just curious what foods everyone stays away from or rarely eats now that you are trying to lose weight. For me the #1 thing I stay away from is Nutella + Pretzels.

Running / Jogging Question
Just curious. Should I use my whole foot to jog or should I job on the balls of my feet like I'm in high heels? I was always taught to jog on the balls of my feet, but just making sure.

Sandwich Ideas?
I tried peanut butter and banana on a piece of bread for the first time. That's not exactly a real sandwich because I used one piece of bread, but it got me thinking. What are some unique sandwich ideas? I'm thinking of trying more fruity sandwich ideas now.

Anyone else have trouble with CHEESE?!
i don't know what it is, but I can't seem to get cheese out of my diet successfully. It always creeps up on me and gets me in the end. I can't seem to go even a day without eating it. Anyone else have this as their weakness?

How many calories should I eat? I've become more active.
I originally made my calorie limit on here 1500, but I was not very active then. Most of my days were spent sitting at a computer. I have a Gold's Gym membership now though, and I've been burning around 500 or more calories every day. I was wondering if I should up my calorie limit from 1540 to something higher. Yesterday…
