Is it normal..
To have been losing weight, then add in exercise to gain some weight back at first? My muscles are sore so I’m guessing inflammation today.

Miso Soup
I’ve been making this the last few weeks... it’s my favorite lite dinner(I don’t get home until 7p from work, so I don’t eat a big meal). YumO I add: White miso, spinach, carrots, mushrooms, zucchini, jalapeños, green onion, vegetable broth, firm tofu, snap peas, kelp noodles or the zero carb ones, aminos acids, cilantro…

Thoughts
So I’ve set my goal to -2lbs/ week. Which puts my calories at 1200/day. Question is: Q1 if I’m eating 1200 now but hit a plateau, I don’t have the option to drop under 1200, so is it best to start, say at 1400 or 1500 then lower as I hit those stalls? Q2- can you bust through a plateau with just staying at your set 1200…

Food planning & Food Prep day....
I have learned that this is my lifestyle and for me to be successful it's what I'll need to do for the long term. I do this Sunday-Friday, Saturday I plan a healthy meal for lunch since my parents eat with us that day. Just curious if anyone else is doing this (I'm sure there are) and what gadgets, tips or tricks you do or…

I didn't die!
I went to bed, and felt a little hungry. But to my amazement I am alive this morning :-). In the past I would have freaked out.... on no my tummy says eat... and I thought I'd surely parish. But nope here I am!! Yes, I drink plenty of water, I drink water even if I think I'm hungry and I was truly a tad hungry at bedtime.…

Eggs...
I'm working on weighing and measuring everything..so for instance right now I'm boiling eggs, before boiling one weighed in at 67g w/ the shell. So for a hard boiled egg I would weigh this as cooked right w/o the shell? But if I were to scramble eggs that egg weight would be raw before cooked? Thanks in advance... :)

Show me your eggs....

Not eating if your not hungry
A while back read an article about not eating right away when you wake up. Prolonging the "fast" from the night before. I know if I eat to early it seems to make me eat more during the day or even feel hungry sooner. I've been eating only when hungry and not eating right away. Thoughts?

Open Diary
Do you have to be friends to see a public diary or is there another way?

Walking
Have people been truly successful at just walking to aid in weight loss? Or do you suggest adding some strength training along with it? If I walk at least 5x/wk and did strength 2x/wk or should it be more like 3x/wk? Thanks in advance :smiley:

Exercise calories...
So I usually get in 4000-5000 steps just walking at work, like getting the mail etc...but it is just a desk job. So Fitbit gives me calories burned... Say 400(just guessing as I'm typing here and can't go look)...I don't feel justified in eating back those calories as it wasn't a heart pumping workout. I do however come…

Is going Premium worth it to you?
Considering this option just wondering if you've found it truly useful

At what point do you use the TDEE calculator?
This is when it confuses my lil brain... Calories: MFP 1410 ( w/ 1.5lb/week) TDEE 2575 - 15% = 2189 BMR 2146 -15% = 1824 I walk 30 mins 5x/week Will be adding strength training 2-3x as well. Do I just stay with MFP because I need to lose a lot and not worry about the whole TDEE thing at this time?
-
Need to lose about 100lbs...
Currently I've set my goal at 1.5/week, wondering if I should set for 2/week instead. I'm eating a 35%|35%|25% and keeping sugars to 30g. Not a soda drinker, occasionally maybe and will be implementing a walking/strength training program.

MFP... Calorie setting
Once you've entered in your stats do you stick to what calorie goals it sets for you or do you change it to what you want? Mine popped up at 1415/day but that seems high for weight loss. Typically I stick to about 1200/day. Thoughts?
-
CI<CO
Just trying to understand this... Sorry a real n00b here but are you saying: If I eat 1200 calories/ day and burn 400 from exercising that is a CI<CO moment? Is a person supposed to eat that back or they'd be fine with a total of 800 calories for the day?

Anyone else working a low sugar/low carb life?
For me, I've always done the best when I cut pasta, rice, breads etc. I've been doing well BUT I had chose to have WLS about 6 years ago and became a complete sweet addict. Almost 2 years ago I had to have my surgery reversed due to complications. It has left me with a serious sugar craving. It was easy to cut carbs back…

Kodiak Cakes
I have these maybe once every other week or so... Do you? What do you do to yours? I mixed in 1scoop of my ISO protein powder this time( made them a bit more dense but I wanted to kick up the protein). Used PB2 + no sugar applesauce.

Snacking...
How do you do during the day? Do you eat breakfast, lunch and dinner with snacks in between or just 3 meals a day?

Hiya!
Well I'm back! Not that you knew me before but still :) I'm a 48 yr old female who is struggling to lose weight. I've gone from being super heavy, to having a lapband, to having it removed because it slipped, to gaining some weight back, to WW and now back in gear with MFP! I'd like to drop 100+lbs and get fit while doing…

Some advice, any advice :)
Is there a magic trick I'm missing on my calorie intake? I've done the calculation for BMR, AMR etc. If I want to lose 2lbs/week ( I have 90lbs to lose) it comes up to 1382calories /day. Now I have done this and I stay the same or the weight goes up. I exercise 6x/week, 45-60mins, doing walk/jog on the treadmill, just…
