Really depressed :(
I went shopping with my niece today hoping to find some summer clothes now that the weather is getting warmer. We are both a little on the overweight side, but I didn't realize how bad I had become until I started trying things on. I now wear a size 14 (from an 8 two years ago) and even a few of that size were snug. I…

BMR vs. TDEE
Hello. I am hoping you can help me. So I went and calculated my TDEE and BMR and here were my results... TDEE 2289 BMR 1555 My question is, to lose weight I have to eat at a deficit of 1000 cals to lose 2 lbs a week. But that would put my cals at 1298, which is below my BMR. This is all so confusing! Could you help figure…

Saw the other thread and figured there has to be a lot of ladies in this size range too looking to lose as well :) I have gone up and down in weight for the longest time.

2 weeks wheat free!
Hi everyone! I am sure this topic has been beaten to death, so I'll try to explain as best I can. I want to try going wheat free for at least 2 weeks, just to see what changes I feel in my body. Internally. I have had stomach issues for as long as I can remember. Bloaty, crampy, nauseous, and just really icky feeling,…

Shakeology 3 day cleanse sans Shakeology
I am trying the Shakeology 3 day cleanse, without the Shakeology cause let's face it, the stuff is expensive! Do you think I'll get the same results with just a normal protien shake? My goal is 40 pounds in 6 months. Which I think is pretty doable. Thoughts?

Macro Percentages in Diary??
I am not sure if I am not looking in the right place but I remember back when I first started MFP that we could view our macro percentages in our diaries. That made it so much easier to keep track, but I can't find it anywhere. Is it no longer on here? I took a break from here for a bit, so seems like a lot of the format…

Wow..not much action lately?
Hi All! New to the carb cycling world and had some questions. How did you all do? Did you see good results? Did you have trouble getting in your calories from only eating meat and veggies and cheese? Hoping this works for me. I have been up and down in weight for the last few years, and was so happy at my lowest of 130. I…

Carb cycling
Hi All! I know, I know, this topic has probably been covered a thousand times, but most of the posts I found on the subject are older than me, so I thought I would start a new thread :) Is anyone else here doing this? I am currently on the turbo cycle where I eat low carb Monday, Tuesday,Thursday, and Friday and high carb…

20 to go! :)
Hi everyone! Got on the scale today and was thrilled! 155! Down from 168 since May. Happy with my results so far, and I know the last 20 pounds to my goal is going to be tough, so I thought I would pop in and see if there are some suggestions to keep on the same pace? I've been limiting my carb intake to only consuming in…

30 day Paleo challenge
Hi everyone! So my trainer is having us try out Paleo for 30 days, and from most of the research I've done it seems pretty simple. I don't eat processed foods and eat plenty of fruit and veggies, the only real hard part is the dairy. I love yogurt and cheese so giving that up is going to be tough, but it's only for 30…

Meal plans for FAT loss-not weight loss
HI all! So in my journey to getting back the body I had a year ago, I decided to try this paleo challenge. Let me tell you, it's not for everybody, especially for me! The first week I was so cranky, tired, my stomach was in knots and I wasn't enjoying anything I was eating. So I'm modifying a bit. I am adding very little…

Calorie intake of GOAL weight?
I recently made a discovery that the only way to accurately calculate your calorie intake, is to measure what your intake would be at your GOAL weight. For instance, I am at 168 right now, and my goal weight is 130, so I would only take in the amount of calories it takes to maintain my weight if I were 130. It made sense…

Eating too much one day, not enough the next...
Hi everyone :) This might seem like a stupid question, but hopefully I'll get some smart answers. Yesterday was a bad day for me eating wise, let's just say I had nothing for breakfast or lunch and then inhaled an entire medium pizza when I got home. Yes the WHOLE pizza. Needless to say I feel so crappy today I don't want…

Too many veggies?
Hi everyone! I used to consume a lot of fruit and vegetables, which is a good thing, but my sugar intake was always high, so I curbed the fruits and replaced with more veggies. I am just wondering now, am I eating too many? My lunches usually consist of a big salad with tons of vegetables, same with dinner, I have a salad…

Good sugar vs. bad sugar
Hi everyone! Happy Saturday :) I am sure this topic has been covered already, but I don't feel like searching through all of the boards to find an answer, so I'll just start over Every night when I complete my food diary, I am constantly over on my sugars.

Feeling guilty
I got on the scale today and saw I lost 2 lb s since last week when I last weighed in. I was thrilled! However I got home tonight and on the counter was a piece of cake my sis brought home from a birthday party. I shrugged it off at first, telling myself "do you want to gain those 2 lbs back?" Well that worked for about an…

Husband isn't supportive
Hey everyone. Hate to start out with such a bummer topic, but this has been bothering me for awhile and am hoping to get some advice, or at least know I am not alone. In my attempt at getting in shape, and trying to eat better and healthier, so far I am doing pretty well. However, my husband is a little less enthusiastic…

Oatmeal
Hi everyone! New here, well not new but was away for awhile, now I am back :) Recently I have been eating oatmeal for breakfast, because I hear it is good protien with a piece of fruit or yogurt with it which fills me up pretty much until lunch when I hit the gym. But the carbs are insane!! Just one 1/2 cup with…

Under calorie goal
Hi everyone! I am on the 1200 cal a day diet, 1500 on workout days. I always stay within my 1200 cals but can't seem to get to the 1500 for some reason. Should I start incorporating some protien shakes with my snacks for the extra calories? How do you stay within your goal counts?
