Maintaining muscle while losing weight
I’ve got about 20-25 lbs to lose. I’ve lost 70-80 lbs before and I know it’s inevitable that I’ll lose some muscle while in a calorie deficit. I also know it’s possible to gain muscle while losing weight if I were to do a keto diet but I’m not interested in that. I’m just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to lose *as…

Celery...?
Hi guys! I just bought a full thing of celery and used maybe two stalks for a chicken salad (a delicious curried chicken salad I found on here that uses greek yogurt instead of mayo) and I have no idea what else to do with the celery. I'll mix some into tuna but I don't know what to do with it before it goes bad. I don't…

Starting to pay more attention to macros
Hi all! I've been at this for a while now but I've only just decided to pay more attention to my intake of nutrients and not just to caloric intake. For the most part I'm getting the hang of it but I have one problem. I often have a couple of hundred leftover calories at the end of the day (and because I only eat 1320 a…

Bread for Breakfast
I always feel as though I need complex carbs for breakfast. If I don't eat a piece of toast or something I'm always worried I'll be hungry later. I've been trying to just have yogurt with blueberries and a small amount of granola with coffee for breakfast. I know bread isn't bad for me but I would love to cut a bit of it…

At-home routine?

I'm looking for an at-home routine I can do every morning to start toning up. I've lose 25 lbs and would like to lose another 20 but am more…

Ginger, Carrot Butternut Squash Soup
Frigging good. And nutritious and low cal. Makes 6 servings at only about 120 calories each. I doubled the recipe and added two cups of honey flavoured non-fat greek yogurt so mine came in at about 140 calories per serving. Garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds, crispy bacon or cilantro (I used cilantro). Ingredients 1 medium…

Be my friend!
Hi! I've been serious on MFP now for about 4 months and I've lost 20 lbs! Can't believe how much this site has helped. But I've only become active with the community in the last couple of months. I have a wonderful small group of supportive friends on here but would love to make the group a little bigger! Add me if you…

Changing my goal
Has anyone else here changed their end goal pretty drastically from when they started? I know I have! My initial goal was 170 which would put me at a healthy BMI. When I weighed 193 I really didn't think I had that much to lose. Now that I'm almost at that goal I know I'm going to keep going until I lose at least another…

Sugar Intake
Hi, I know someone else on here posted a similar question recently but mine is a little different. I've noticed my sugar intake is nearly ALWAYS over my macro of 26 g a day. It's usually between 50-70. At first I didn't pay too much attention because I know that some of the macros are not accurate anyway, both because of…
