Looking for other dedicated MFP friends
Hey! I've been using the app quite a while but I've been doing it kind of solo for a while and I just got off a big break. I figured I'd ask if there was anyone who was into this journey as much as I am who would like to be friends on here to help support each other.

Is Android mobile app bugging out?
I can't finish my daily diary(shows an error message and says to wait), my food/exercises aren't being shared to my feed, and the website isn't logging anything I put down on the mobile app. Is this seriously messed up again?

How good is my one rep max for bench?
I'm a 19 year old guy at 6'1 305 and without any training or lifting regiments to build up strength I benched a 225 one rep max. Do I have lifting potential when I drop the rest of my weight and starting bulking? My buddies usually bench 140-175 without any training.

Thank god for calories in vs calories out
After years of yo yo dieting and failing long term (eating only "clean" foods) I've found what works best for me and for other people increasingly. Using a simple "calorie deficit cals in vs cals out" approach I'm dropping 4-5 lbs a week. Granted I'm creating large deficits due to the fact I'm a pretty big guy and I…

Stretch marks are sabotaging my weight loss
Hey everyone. I'm a 6'1 19 year old male at around low 300s. I have gained and lost weight in large increments for the past 5 years or so. From the constant weight changing, I developed stretch marks all over my body. Up and down my stomach, on my arms, behind my legs. It's one of the features of myself that I truly hate,…

Went over maintenance today. Redemption tomorrow?
Went over my maintenece b/c of a fast food binge by about 900 cals. Technically tomorrow if I burn 900 extra calories wouldn't that erase any surplus I had today? I hate doing damage control when I binge, I know I don't "have to" but in my head the surplus needs to be erased the day after. Any thoughts on this?

Don't worry too much about Easter calories
The way I see it is one day really isn't going to offset the 4 weeks I put in at a good calorie deficit. I'm establishing the day as a "cheat day" and moving forward full speed while adjusting calories for the week to offset the surplus. I'm thinking this is the best way to view holidays like this. Don't worry yourself…

My net calories are always so low any downside?
I'm a 6'1 340lb 19 year old guy .You can check my logs and see that I've been chronically eating way too few calories + been in too much of a deficit, although I tend to get a considerable amount of protein. Any inherent downside to this? I just don't want to have a bunch of loose skin if I'm going to lose lbs fast. I…

Obsession with burning calories
I'm a 6'1 320lb 19 year old male. I'm on week 3 of my lifestyle change and I've recently been developing an obsession with burning calories/sweating a lot/exhausting myself. I feel like if I didn't burn 1000+ cals on a day (I'm 320lbs so it isn't too hard) I in a sense "failed". when I see a green 1000 left for the day to…

Can someone confirm I have shin splints?
Two weeks ago I started exercising to get back into shape. I'm a 6'1 320lb male at 19years and just recently I've been having what seems to be shin splints from doing too much too soon (sprinting up hills, etc). The problem I'm having is when I start walking, 15 minutes or so into the walk my ankles, shins, and calves all…

I don't think I'll ever be happy with my body.
Maybe it's just me but I feel as if I don't have a low bodyfat % with ripped muscles I'm not good enough. Every 10 lbs I lose I keep telling myself the next 10 I'll "actually look better" and the 10 lbs keep coming and going with the same attitude. As I lose more weight I pick myself apart more in other areas (skin, lean…

Weight loss and obsession with the mirror/body
Is it just me or the more weight you lose you get an increasingly-irresistible urge to look at your body in the mirror and also look down at yourself/feel yourself a lot? It's a double edged sword, you can see yourself looking better or you get depressed at seeing how much you have to lose still. Thoughts?

6 small meals vs everything else.
I eat one huge meal post workout everyday(2000-2300 cals). At a physical- BP, cholesterol, blood lipids, and all blood tests were just fine. Thyroid is fine, and fasting gives me energy during the day. I can sit down and gorge myself yet lose fat.I get told by numerous "know-it-alls" that I should eat 5-6 small meals…

Anyone else eat hardboiled eggs?
I just figured out the nutrition in one egg and its actually very nutritious. For under 90 calories you get a satisfying snack and a good amount of protein(also low Carb)., It's relatively good once in a while- which is because of the high cholesterol in the yolk.

Huge Binge...
Hey everyone. I had a GIGANTIC binge today and you can look at my diary to see it. I had the works - fast food, junk food at the movies with friends, and even some of my families frozen items. I NEVER do this, and I feel very depressed because of this. As you can see from my diary on previous days, people are saying I…

Am I getting too few calories?
So besides my terrible day today(4000 calories...), I tend to have a net calorie intake of 500-1200 a day, or about 1300-1600 from food itself. My goal is about 2600 calories a day, am I eating too few calories to lose fat?

Is under 100 Carbs a day a "Low Carb Diet"?
Hello all! I have been on what I like to think is a "low Carb diet" with I believe 70-90 carbs a day(all from brown rice). When I eat, I'll just have 1 cup or 1.5 cups of rice. Is this bad for a low Carb lifestyle? Edit: I still eat normally, I'm.just pointing out the rice has the carbs

What's Your Favorite Meat Source?
Mine is definitely chicken/poultry. Baked chicken breast + spices + Olive oil = heaven! Tuna and Albacore come in a close second.
