Noom to MyFitnessPal
Has anyone made the switch from being successful on Noom to here? I lost 25 pounds on Noom last year. I had a week long vacation and am feeling a few pounds creep back on - slippery slope. I need to recommit to how I was before my trip (it’s been a couple weeks). Just curious how MyFitnessPal feels after being successful…

Calories in/Calories out vs. low carb
Everyone around me tells me that ultra low carb is the way to go. I'd love to hear success stories of people who counted calories - enjoying the foods you love in moderation. I need to get past this mindset that I'm doing it wrong and won't see results if I eat cereal, sandwiches, etc. Thanks! Katrina

Small loss first week
I was hoping to have a big loss my first week in. I know it slows down so just wanted that first week to be a bigger number. Down 1.6. Happy to be down but disappointed it wasn't more. I'm not close to goal. I want to lose about 40-45 pounds.

I'm not skinny yet!!
Just kidding. I know it takes time. Feeling impatient but gonna keep tracking and exercising - aka buying more calories.

Bad picture
I suppose the camera doesn't lie. We had head shots taken at work and after seeing them I asked that they not be posted. I am at the re-beginning of my journey. At least I have a solid before pic ;)

Calories in. Calories out
I am finally trying to eat in a way that works best for me! I'm ignoring the paleo pushers, the low/no carb crazies, and eating less of what I love. I had a McDonald's cheeseburger happy meal for lunch (my salad was very bad). To me that's a win. I still have plenty of calories left for dinner and a small dessert (I worked…

It's soooooo hot outside!!
I missed my early morning gym workout because I overslept and had to rush to work. I live in SC where it's in the upper 90's plus the humidity. I stand outside and sweat like a pig. I'd like to at least go for a walk to earn some extra calories but can't bring myself to go out in this horrid weather. What do others do in…

Gained this week :(
I lost 2.4 the first week and gained 1.2 this week. I've been doing the same things I did last week with the exception of one day of weights, after a long hiatus. Should I hold off on weight training until I build my confidence with solid weight losses each week? I'd love all the encouragement I can get. :(

How many calories am I burning
I know we can't trust mfp's database of calories burned through exercise. So how do you guess? I have a heart rate monitor but I've been told those aren't very precise either. So far, I've been taking the mfp number of calories burned and dividing it in half. I may be underestimating calories burned...

Mini binge
I ate a total of 5 packaged Rice Krispie treats (450 calories), and the only reason I stopped there was because that's all I had. Instead of beating myself up I'm going to a) work it into my calories and b) don't buy these again

Meal delivery service (cook at home)
Has anyone had any success with meal delivery services such as Blue Apron, HelloFresh, etc.? I am thinking of trying it since they all seem to have specials for your first week (just me and husband). Which ones are better?

When to do weights...
I am a morning exercise person, only because I'm most likely to work out before work than after. My spin class at my gym is 3x a week at 6am, then I haul *kitten* to get home, showered, off to work, The other 2 weekdays I started using the elliptical in my neighborhood's gym to allow more time to get ready for work. I'm…

Grumpy old men at neighborhood gym
I've been working off and on for many years at a gym. Just this past week I decided to use my neighborhood gym (small room) twice a week to give me more time in the morning to get ready for work. I have never dealt with *kitten* like these before. There's an oscillating fan in there that was on when I came in. An older guy…

Come on, mfp. 1200?
Why does myfitnesspal suggest 1,200 calories a day? I am 5'8, about 190 pounds. I work full time so I'm at a desk all day. I'm doing about 3+ days a week of spinning/elliptical. Any suggestions on what my calorie goal should be?
