Apple Watch Accuracy
Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've posted here, just trying to get back into the weight loss and calorie counting groove since I fell out of it about a year ago. I got an Apple Watch in May as one of the first to become available in black and I love using it to workout, however I'm concerned that maybe the calories…

Carbs earlier in the day?
Has anyone tried it? I'm sticking to a below 100G/Carbs a day and I always give myself a higher carb treat and I thought it would be best to do it earlier in the day since your body will first use it as energy? So for example, I had one serving of ice cream this morning (1/2 cup, not a lot - but enough to deter my…

Kicking off a new diet and fitness plan tomorrow!
It's been about a year since I discovered myfitnesspal and I've lost overall about forty pounds! I never actually thought I would get to this point but I have and I am very impressed with myself. I am going to restart a new summer workout plan tomorrow that will incorporate some strength training since I've never really…

Pizza while on keto?
Now, I haven't completely slipped yet on my ketosis diet (been going since Monday and feel good about it!) but my family just brought home a pizza. -_-. It's definitely my weak point because I love pizza and I have so far held it off but I'm sooooo tempted to. Should I just go for a walk and wait of true pizza to cool so I…

Having a hard time calculating my body fat percentage?
I took my weight and my waist and stuck it into the online calculator and got roughly 17% bidy fat but when I see pictures of other people at about this amount they look more slimmer and not as chubby as I do? Am I maybe doing it wrong? My waist is 34 in. And I weight 187.

Taking a week off from exercise?
I really love to exercise but recently I've gotten so bored of doing the same cardio machines at the gym and on top of it I feel exhausted and a little sick (got a cough going on here.) I'm wondering if I can still maintain a steady loss this week even if I don't add in my exercise? Of course if I'm not I will probably…

The ultimate diet killer.
Or as I like to call it, Nutella. Of course I got a jar this morning when I really didn't want any candy or junk food at all. I know if I don't find healthy alternatives to use it for I will hinge on it until the jar is sparkly clean, now usually if we're talking about regular chocolate I have great self control but…

Why does my weight plateau so much?
It'll stay the same for a week or two then magically drop 2-5 pounds then stay the same for what feels like forever. It drives me absolutely crazy. It's not like I've been doing the same workouts every week, I usually change it every one or two weeks so I can avoid the plateau.

How many calories is too many calories...
...when it comes to burning? I've gone crazy. I'm to the point of eating 1300 and burning 1500 a day and I'm just not feeling like its completely healthy even though it makes me feel great! I also need help on trying to avoid losing muscle, I have a problem with wanting to do very intense workouts because they make me…

Keeping warm for morning jogs?
I was kind of hoping by this time of the year it'd be 40 when I woke up to run, well it was low 30's and I just about died trying to run this morning. I was wondering if anyone had any tips for keeping my breath warm in general, the cold air kills my asthma and I got home and felt like I was going to fall over. Not fun.…

I think I have a problem!
Okay - so I think I am creating an obsession. All I can ever think about is weight loss and fitness. It's the only thing that crosses my mind everyday, no matter how hard I try to distract myself. I'll sit in class and be learning about ancient religions and all I can connect things to is weight loss. I think part of it…

When do you notice fat loss from strength training?
I started strength training Monday in conjunction with Cardio. It's a twelve week program and I was wondering when I will notice the muscles growing and the fat melting? I'm not really concerned about the aspect of my weight while doing it but the actual fat itself. Thanks!

Do bodybuilding plans NEED to be dine with meal plans?
I started a 12 week program on Monday from bodybuilding.com and of course there is a meal plan with it however I don't do the grocery shopping and I feel my current eating habits are very good! So will I see the same results without the meal plan and supplemts?

Electronic scales VS. Dial Analog Scales.
So here is my story. For the last month I really have not been losing any weight and it had been irritating me. So I had been intensifying workouts like crazy because I wanted some results! So today is Thursday so it was strength day #2 for this week so I weighed myself on the community center scale. The scale says I weigh…

Exercise ideas while on "vacation?"
Okay so I am going to be away all week to do some dogsitting! Wohoo! The only issue is that I usually go up to the track which is conveniently located a mile from my house and use that to go for a jog - however here there is no track. I really don't want to not do an exercise because then I will feel like I have…

Week 4 support? ;c
Okay this week is SUPPOSED to be week four! However I tried doing day one and I could not do it all. I think it was a minute or two off the last run I had to do and I could not do it at all. I am redoing week three this week instead. Any ideas for Monday when I retry week four? I really love this program, I don't wanna…

Have not eaten enough calories today?
Hi! I am not close to my calorie goal and don't want to eat too little. I already ate dinner, so anything else will have to be a snack or treat later on. Does anyone have any ideas? I have had too many sugars already today so something w/ little sugars would be pretty good. Thanks!

Sparkle Water??
I was getting a bottle of water and I realized all the other bottles of sparkle water I have that I have not drunk because I joined here. Is it safe to drink on a weight loss plan? I was thinking not because of the carbonation? I ask because occasionally I like to just have a small cup of it.

I feel like I completely failed today!
So my breakfast and lunch was healthy and great as usual but then dinner came around and I ended up having sesame chicken from a chinese place and this oreo cheescake desert cup thing and I stayed under my calorie goal but went over on certain things and I feel like tomorrow if I don't double my workout and BURN BURN BURN…

Good calorie burning exercises?
Hi! I started doing a program with my phone kind of like C25K except it goes up to a 10K. I was wondering what other exercises I will be able to do on Tuesday and Thursday to help burn calories and what not. I started the program today but I am thinking about doing the first week again next week because I am not spacing it…

Hello!
Hi all! My name is Eric. I am trying to lose weight, about 65lbs. to be approximate. Earlier I was suggested to try doing the C25K program - and I looked into it - and I think that I could do it. I remember doing something like that workout in track. I got an app on my phone, but it is more like a C210K program and it…
