RX Weight Loss Meds (Phentermine)
Hi there! I started Phentermine for significant weight loss on March 4, 2021. As of today, I am down 90 lbs. I am super worried that when I go off the meds (doc said about 2 more months), that I will gain a crap ton back, even though my healthy habits seem great and pretty steady right now. My doctor said if I don't…

MapMyRun Duplicate Workouts?
I have synced MFP and MMR....For the first couple months, it was doing great. Now, it's still doing great, but after every single workout, another one that's the exact same shows up in MMR. I have reached out to MMR for support, but have not heard anything back. It's really messing up my stats, and it's pretty annoying.…

Calorie Goal Changes Itself??
I have been on MFP for about 2 weeks. I have not changed my goal, expected weight loss per week, or activity level. I started out at 1850 calories per day, and one day (before I even told MFP I lost any weight), it lowered my goal to 1800. And today, I wake up to find that it has been changed to 1750 (once again, have not…

Good average pace for morbidly obese?
I got back into running about 3 months ago. I've since lost 53 lbs! :) I was wondering what a decent average pace for me would be. I know it's different for everyone, but I don't know if I'm doing as good as I should be. My first run was 21:30, and my best run, a few days ago, was 16:54 (I know... Sad!) I go around 2 miles…

How do HRMs help the morbidly obese?
Let me start off by saying I am 27yo, 5'6", and I weigh 297 (down from 333)! I just got a Polar FT4 HRM. I found out that my max HR is 186, which I know is pretty high for my age. I figured it's so high since I weigh so much. Anyway, I walk/jog about 1.5 miles per day, 5-6 days per week. Even after just standing up and…

Help! Haven't Lost in 10 Days! :(
Let me start off by saying that I'm 300 lbs. I've only lost 35 lbs in the past 8 weeks, and I feel like that is not very much for someone my size. I have been losing consistently, but in the last 10 days, I've actually GAINED 2 lbs, and haven't lost ANYTHING! I am running/walking at least 1.5mi per day, 6 days a week. The…

Fitbit or HRM?
I know this has probably been asked many times, so I apologize! I have heard good and bad things about HRM's and Fitbit. I am interested in tracking the most accurate amount of calories I burn during workouts. I mostly run/walk, strength train, swim, and do Zumba sometimes. From what I have read, it seems like a HRM might…

HELP! In my 4th week and GAINED a pound!
I'm getting really frustrated. I have been consistently losing the last month, and this week I gained a pound! I know everyone says to eat all of your calories or you won't lose, but I thought if you work off more than you take in, you will lose. I'm supposed to have 1750 cals per day, but I've been getting around 1400.…
