Eating at a deficit and still not losing
I'm 6'1", 268lbs and have been on this journey since January. My BMR is 2072 and TDEE is 2486, at least since I've become sedentary from injuring my knee. I started out by following the MFP calculations and followed that for a few months but lost absolutely nothing! I later found out about the spreadsheet someone made on…

GPS app for running (Samsung Galaxy Precedent)
I was looking to take my run outdoors, but wanted something to tell me how long and how far I ran. My boyfriend suggested MapMyRide, but post-run, it wouldn't upload to Facebook. After looking at the FAQs and trying to trouble shoot, my version is missing the option to approve the sync to Facebook. Any good apps out there…

Searching for the impossible armband
None of my workout clothes have pockets, so I started looking for an armband for my phone (Samsung Precedent). Unless your bicep is smaller than 11 inches or so, you're outta luck. Any idea of a brand that caters to those of us with bigger arms?

Book suggested calories seem WAY too high!
My stats: 28 years old 6'1" 270 lbs BMI: 35.6 I did the calculations listed in the book and came out with RMR of 1678, calories for non lifting days: 2517 and lifting days 2852. Is it just me or does that sound like an awful lot? I started on MFP with a goal of a pound a week lost, which had me eating 2300. I didn't lose…

Looking to improve my running
Are there any exercises or specific strength training I should be doing to assist in improving my running? I'm still fairly new to running, but I am desperately striving to get to where I can run more than I walk. I'm currently able to walk a minute at 3.5mph then run at 5.1mph for a minute before having to go back down to…

No weight loss in 6 weeks...
Let me start off my saying, I didn't get fat overnight and I don't it won't go away that fast either. I lost 4 pounds each week my first two weeks on MFP, but since then, the scale hasn't changed. I started measuring and have lost a total of 17 inches, but as of the past two weeks, that has also stalled. My stats: 6'1" 268…

Leg day

Arm days: chest press chest fly fixed pulldowns seated rows plus some cardio Leg days: squats dead lifts I like the leg press, but…

Shoes: What's the difference?
I need new shoes that support my big, flat feet. I usually wear a men's 13, but thought maybe that was part of the problem, that I'm wearing men's instead of women's. The shoes I have now are Under Armour and they don't usually bother me unless I'm walking pretty quick on the treadmill, or doing lots of heavy leg work. It…

Any North Carolina people?
28 y/o female from Salisbury, NC. I'm new to the gym, but am working towards training for a 5k and would love to possibly meet and compete with someone on here with the same goal. I also have roughly 100 pounds to lose and am on daily for motivation and support.

Workout clothes for tall ladies??
I'm 6'1" and find it impossible to find reasonably priced workout pants. I have a pair of Old Navy yoga pants that fit perfect, except they're about 4 inches too short. Any suggestions as to where I might look? I live in the Charlotte, NC area and would rather try them on instead of shopping online. Thanks in advance!

Arch pain while working out
I've been doing the 30 Day Shred and towards the second half of the workout, my arches are practically screaming with pain. I wear a size 13 and wear mens shoes, since I have no idea where to find womens. I am so flat footed. Any suggestions or possible fixes for this?

I'm not really hungry...until I start eating
I've never been a breakfast person, but I have been making it a point to eat something for each meal since starting MFP. It seems that after breakfast, I'm fine. Once I eat lunch though, I feel hungry again shortly after, and seem to stay hungry until dinner time. Anyone else feel like this? Any suggestions as to what will…
