Hot yoga, 30 day shred, and smaller portions?
Hi! I haven't been able to lose weight for months and I haven't exactly put my all in but I've been trying quite a bit by working out 6x a week and eating within my calories. I usually weight train 2x a week and cardio 4x. I just love cardio. Nothing has been working and I feel like even though I stayed the same weight, I…

I can't ever lose weight
I've been trying to lose weight since seventh grade. I just graduated high school and all I've ever done was lost 5 lbs. about a few months ago but obviously I've gained a lot of weight since seventh grade because of puberty and growing in general. I am a vegetarian so I don't get too much protein and I work out 5-6 days a…

Lexapro weight gain, now on welbutrin?
I am 18, 5'7, and used to weigh 135 lbs. I was happy with my weight. I was diagnosed with depression at 17 and was put on lexapro. In just 3 months, I went from 135 to 155 and I now have stretch marks beyond belief. I have always eaten in my calories, exercised, and watched what I ate. I was surprised at the weight gain…

vacation?
A few months back, I decided to lose about 15-20 lbs. before mid April. I did not meet my goal at ALL. I have plateaued badly. I'm 18 and on medication that makes me gain weight so all of my efforts are balancing it out. That's ok I guess, however, I am going on vacation with my bf's fam for two weeks starting friday and I…

Logging work?
I work at a take-and-bake pizza shop and am always running around, prepping food, tossing dough, and taking orders. Some hours I stand around and some hours I break a mean sweat. I put my activity on sedentary because I wanted to log more accurately how much I actually work. I usually work 5 days a week for 4-8 hour…

Why can't I lose weight?? Frustrated!
I workout 5-6 days a week 30-60 min. I do cardio + weights 2-3 days and the rest are all pure cardio. I work out at my gym by doing elliptical, stationary bike, running around the track, and the stairclimber as my cardio and use the weight machines for my strength. I really don't do any special program or routine, I just…

Just a few to lose?
Hi everyone! I am only 18 and weigh 148 at 5'7. I want to be around 130-135 because that's where my body is naturally suited for. I've been tracking for almost 60 days now and I've gone from 155 to 148 and feel a lot better. I am doing it slowly but that's because I want to keep it off. I want to get to 135 by April and…

Yoga Help
I have always been into sports and basically anything that involves the gym (elliptical, running, stairclimber, free weights, stationary bike, etc.) My problem is that I want to start doing yoga but I don't have the patience. Also, it burns little to no calories so I feel like I could be running and burning way more.…

Vacations
Hey everyone! So yesterday my boyfriend asked me to go on vacation with him and his family to Florida in about 4 months. The vacation is about 2 weeks long and they do not cook any of their food the ENTIRE time; it's out to eat for every single meal. Obviously, that scared me. I will be out of my natural element: no…

Do entrees calories include side dishes?
Hi! I just went to the original pancake house for breakfast and I have a question. I ordered a vegetarian egg white omelette and they had it at 700-1000 calories and that if you swapped the eggs for egg whites it would be -350 calories. It also came with 3 buttermilk pancakes. Did the first calorie count include the…

The final answer to the extra calorie debacle?
Hi! I feel like this is talked about a lot but I keep getting mixed signals. I'm going to try to explain what I think I'm doing to lose weight and it'd be helpful of you all could correct me if I'm mistaken. So what I've gathered is that MFP gives you a calorie number that is already at a deficit, the amount of deficit…

How do I lose weight on Wellbutrin?

Marathon training AND losing weight?
Hi! I am currently beginning my marathon training and I have a few questions. I never used to eat back my exercise calories because they were pretty low (100-300) and I felt like it was erasing my workout. Now, I understand that they should be eaten back. I kept gaining weight by not eating the calories back. If, say, I…
