Eating more to lose more?
I keep hearing that you need to eat more calories to lose weight, and that eating only 1300 is 'insane'. I'm a sedentary individual due to my office based job during the day and studying in the evening but I workout twice a week moderate/high intensity for 90 minutes at my kickboxing classes. These include cardio, strength…

I don't know what I'm asking
I'm worried that MFP has made me obsess over food too much. I now feel that when I'm under my calorie goal too much, I eat more thinking 'I have diary space for a treat' when I don't necessarily want one, and I feel guilty over eating my limit which is fairly frequently. I have cravings all the time, not made any better…

Calories or Macros
Hi all, Quick question: Is it more important to not go over calories or not to go over your macros, for fat loss and health reasons.

Three Peaks Challenge
Hi all, I'm considering doing the national three peaks challenge in summer. For those who don't know it, it's walking up Ben Nevis (10.5 miles), Scafell Pike (6 -9 miles) and Snowden (7 miles) in 24 hours. Yes, I might be mad. A small group at work want to do it for charity, and I couldn't say no. After all the initial…

Vegetarians and vegans!!! Get your sweet *kitten* over here!
Hey all! I have been on here actively for a little while now and as a vegetarian feel that I'd benefit from having more vege or vegan friends to gain nutrition tips off and have a nosey around your diaries.

Feeling down, with all my progress reversed, help?!

I can't find a job and am currently left for a week alone with no plans, which is awful as I hate being alone. All I have to do is a small project for a friend but that'll be over on…

The Men Who Made us Thin
Hi, I thought I'd let you all know about this programme "The Men Who Made us Thin". It's really interesting, also "The Men Who Made us Fat". The former's latest episode discusses how exercise doesn't really help you lose weight technically, but the side effects such as a better mood, an interest in healthy eating and…

Clubbing as exercise ;)
Hey all, I'm off out having a night on the town tonight and will be walking about and dancing for a few hours, would you guys log this? If you go out do you log it, or do you assume it will equal out with what you drink?

Now I've been using accurate scales, I am 8lbs heavier than what I said. Can I change it so when I lose weight and log it so the system actually…
