No Scale Victory!
So today I tried on my "skinny shorts" (Lucky Brand waist size 27 (US size4, no stretch) (I usually try them on once a week when I weigh so I can know if I'm changing in size if not in weight. I hadn't tried them on last week though cause I forgot) Tried them on today and they fit! They could be a little looser but I like…

Great Fun workout for people exercising without a gym!
So this is a workout I tried today because I currently don't have access to a gym, just my elliptical, and that was getting really boring and I wanted to switch it up. It's great, 30 mins, drenched in sweat, feeling energized not worn out, and it's motivational too. I have some knee issues and thought this might be a…

Is this really the "ideal fat stripping diet"?
So I found something that said it would be the ideal fat stripping diet. And I inputted it into my diary for TOMORROW (click the arrow to the next day, starting with oatmeal, an egg, and egg whites). It has me go way over on protein (and I already have protein set to 30%) and then just 3 grams over on fat, and fine on…

Switching from working on cardio to lifting question
So I'm going to switch from focusing primarily on cardio to primarily on lifting (NROL), and I was wondering, since on here i have my profile set up as I think 6 workouts a week at 45 mins each, and so MFP calculates stuff based on that and only counts cardio as workouts. So if I switch to mostly lifting, even though I may…

How much do the macros matter?
So today I've logged all my stuff and I'm over on fat, but i had smoked salmon, unsalted almonds, peanut butter, so like if I had had low fat varieties of these I wouldn't be over, is it okay to be over? I'm still good on calories and everything else

Can't eat enough food??
So, I don't want to be skinny fat, I want to up my muscle and reduce my body fat and lose a couple more pounds. So I changed my goals on here. It says my BMR is 1515 and my TDEE is 1890 so I should eat a net of like 20% lower than my TDEE but then that is lower than my BMR....so I just put my goal at 1600, but I have…

Want to lose 5-10 lbs and 5% body fat

2 simple questions I need help with?
they're not related, but they're both pretty simple questions. 1. My thighs are muscular, I do elliptical pretty much every day, but don't hate, I do high incline and high resistance usually and it really burns and I've noticed toning, and I also do weights and stuff and abs. I don't just chill on the eliptical. But I was…

eating protein?
So I eat healthy foods, lean meat like turkey and chicken, egg whites, sometimes a piece of cheese, greek yogurt, sometimes unsalted nuts, and so I am often over my protein, today by 13 grams, other days by less usually, but it has been this high before, is this bad? I'm usually under on everything else, I noticed a while…

Shaky during and after workout?
You can check out my food diary (if you can't see it, friend me and then you can) I ate really well today, and I drank a lot of water too, today is the first day I've actually come close to eating at my calorie goal, otherwise I've been eating (not net) 1200 ish, so I don't know why, and I didn't do a harder workout than…

Part Way There Success *pictures*
So, on here I've only lost 2 pounds, but since I started dieting i've lost (i'm not entirely sure) but maybe 15. But I've also toned a lot and lost a lot of bloat. I still want to lose about 10 pounds more probably, but with me it's hard to go by weight, easier just by size. I've been feeling kind of down lately so I'm…

Am I Sedentary or Lightly Active?
So I'm a college student, so in college I walk all around campus (and it's on a big hill) and I also work out around 5 times a week. So when I'm in college I think I would be lightly active? but do you think that's right or it's higher? currently, I'm on break, so I sit around the house a lot, but I go shopping, walk…

TSH of 7.7
Okay so I got diagnosed last winterish (not quite a year ago yet) and when I got started I had a TSH of 7.7 they didn't tell me how bad this was, how bad was that? I felt pretty bad and had gained a LOT (Like 30 pounds almost) of weight without doing anything different and I heard that gaining significant weight isn't that…

Going over macros or other nutrients bad?
Is going over your macros bad even if you're still significantly under calorie. Like today (I like to log all my food before hand to track it better, and with my egg whites, protein shake, and lamb i'm over protein by 10 grams. Is that bad? even though the calorie total is only 899? Also on christmas and christmas eve I…

Heart Rate high?
So, I do not have a heart rate monitor but when I'm working out i like to check with the heart rate paddles on the eliptical I use.

If you're still hungry, can you really be overeating?
If I ate healthily all day one day, and had pretty close to my calories, but am still very hungry, if I eat over the calories it tells me to, can I really be overeating for my body, because it's telling me to eat more?

eating back the calories we burn?
so weight loss is a pretty simple equation of calories in calories out, so if you are burning more calories than you are eating you will lose weight. Exercise and what you eat is important for being healthy, but even if you were eating only junk food, if you only ate 1200 calories of it and burned 2000 you would lose…
