Munchies
I've pinpointed my biggest problem! I get irresistible munchies when I'm not actually hungry! Like right now my belly is full and happy from lunch still but my body is craving something to eat! I think it's wanting flavor and texture but i don't want to dig too deep into my calorie budget when I'm not needing food for…

Distracted from diet
Every time i start over it seems to be the same story: i go strong for a couple weeks, maybe even a couple months if I'm lucky, then i just get distracted. I start getting lazy about logging my meals and that one little thing starts it all, if I'm not logging, i forget to be as conscious of my food intake, if I'm not…

MFP exercise calculator: net or gross
Does anyone know whether, when entering exercise in the diary, MFP calculators exercise calories using net or gross? Eg. if i walk for 20 minutes and the diary says i burned 100 calories, is that entirely in extra calories i burned from doing the activity or does that include the 25 or so calories i would already have…

TDEE question
I'm just getting back into trying to lose weight, logged back onto mfp just a few weeks ago after a couple years and then stumbled onto this group but didn't have much time to read up on it until the last couple days. I had some previous knowledge of brm and tdee but not the overall eat more to weigh less way of doing…

Shirataki noodle ideas?
Does anyone use shirataki noodles and have some recipes they like? I want to try them but I'm wondering if their flavor would go well in normal pasta dishes or if I should try it other ways instead. I'm a big pasta eater but I tend to get carried away on my serving sizes so I'm wanting to try alternatives. I wanted to try…

Jogging in place
What are your opinions on logging jogging in place? I don't have a fitbit and I don't really know what pace I'm at. I'm at work so I can't really leave for a walk but I'm really antsy today and want to be moving.

Electrolytes and hydration
Recently started drinking more water. Going for a gallon because of my weight but I have yet to get over 64 ounces in a day. Since doing that I've stated getting mild headaches some evenings and mild lightheadedness throughout the day. Can I get recommendations on your favorite electrolyte drink recipes and ways you like…

Mini cycle
Would a mini cycle be the same calories as a stationary bike? I can't tell whether it has the same range of motion or smaller but it's a different angle.

Calorie cycling
Has anyone here tried calorie cycling? I stumbled across something about it today and got curious. What are the benefits and drawbacks you've experienced with it? Can it be followed loosely or does it have to be stringently adhered to to work?

Back again
It's been a few years and lots of pounds gained since the last time i logged on. I had met some friends, a few of whom are still here and logging but most, like me, stopped showing up. I'm so thankful for those who have kept me on their friends list and I'm also looking for some new friends looking to give and receive a…

Help with macros
I just got back after a couple years and I'm getting frustrated with the app. Things like macro goals and intake were clearly displayed and easily accessed in the food diary. When did they add "premium membership" and take away so much of the useful content that used to be available for free? Is any of this content still…

Weight loss Qi Gong
Does anyone have personal experience in the practice of weight loss and beauty Qi Gong? I've been looking into it and just wanted to hear personal experiences. Apparently it's all the rage in China.

Check-ins
I know everyone logs differently, so I was curious, when do you guys log your weight? Daily? Weekly? Monthly? Whenever the scale moves? Why do you check in when you do? I'm trying to figure out if I'd prefer to log weekly or whenever the scale goes down.

Any protein bar recipes?
Anyone have a good protein bar recipe? Cookie recipes with protein powder? Maybe a measurement for protein powder that won't make my muffin mix flop? I'd love to hear anything you guys have tried and liked.

here i go again
At the beginning of last year i weighed 207 and lost 14 pounds over 3-4 months with the help of this site. But then I got off track, stopped logging in, and my weight bounce back up to 217. I'm getting back on track now. I want to thank my friends who didn't delete me from their lists, and I would also love a few new…

Baked Spiced Chickpeas
Found this the other day (don't remember the website sadly but they adapted it from Veggie Grettie). It's amazing! Now I'm getting to try a sweet spiced variation all on my own. I'll post it if it turns out. Baked Spiced Chickpeas 2 cans Chickpeas 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp spice mix Spice Mix 2 tsp of sugar (I used 2…

Break from weighing
I haven't posted in the last week or two and won't be for probably another 6-7 weeks. I'm in the first segment of NROWLFW since I decided I wanted fat loss rather than just weight loss. After I finish this segment I'll be checking in periodically again.

I need leek soup
Leek soup (any variety I've tried) is my very favorite but the only recipe I've found takes like 6 hours to make including a lot of prep time. Anyone have a leek soup recipe they love?

Pickle Pops
First question: For those who use pickle juice as an electrolyte drink, how much is enough? The Pickle Pops brand comes prepackaged with 2 ounces. Is that enough or should I do two? Or should I do a second one only if I go over a certain amount of exercise? Second question: When is the best time to down an electrolyte…

Another sports bra post
I know there are a lot of threads asking about large sports bras but the ones I've read through never list something that actually comes in my size. I am a 36 DDD and the problem I have is that most brands don't go past a D or DD or if they do the band is much larger. Any suggestions from girls similar sized?

5 new pairs of jeans
I went through my giant bag of jeans that have been too small for me that I've been keeping forever. I had been surviving on three pairs of jeans that were in good enough shape to wear to work. I will be giving those away because they give me a "loaded diaper" butt and because I have five new pairs of jeans that didn't fit…

2.5 months
So I'm seeing all these great posts about 100+ lb off or a year of keeping weight off etc. Mine isn't as big as that but for me it's the longest I've ever stuck to a diet adjustment (not a "diet" per se) and the most weight I've ever lost. For me, that's really big. So here's to two and a half months healthier and 14 lb…

ready to lose another inch
I lost about an inch on my waist within a few weeks of joining MFP in January but now, even though the scale is slowly creeping down, I'm still the same size. Started lifting today so I'm hoping it'll help.

the game
This game is called: The game It was invented in the '80's in a phychology class. If you think about this game, or even remember it exists, you have just lost. Whenever you lose, you must announce your loss, which often either leads to other players losing or other people asking what it is, which then causes them to start…

dangerous?
I've recently been exposed to copious amounts of hydrogen hydroxide and dihydrogen manoxide. Should I be concerned?

Boomerang cold

running breaks
I've been running almost every day lately. How often should I give my body days off to recoup? Can I do other cardio on rest days? (I was looking into kettlebell workouts for off days and they're cardio and strength combined)

Washing neoprene
I got a neoprene belt to use on my runs. It gets nasty sweaty and I was wondering how to wash it without damaging it.
