What's different for me this go-around?
Last year, for about 4 months, I started weighing/counting everything that went into my mouth (with estimations when eating out to the best I could). During this period, I didn't exercise AT ALL. Doing this, I went from 209 pounds to 180 pounds. I fell off a little bit and half a year later, I was sitting back at 195.…

Micros (goals, info, etc)
Hey gang. So, after being around these boards for a few months, I've really gotten a grasp of CICO and macros - which has been phenomenal for my goals/mindset/progress/etc. However, the next thing on my list that I've been meaning to target/incorporate into my calorie counting is micronutrients. How much should I be eating…

Losing faster than expected?
Hey guys. I set my calorie goals to -1.5 pounds per week. Started on April 19th of this year. Since then, I've gone from 209 pounds to 188.8 pounds this morning. This comes to around 2.66 pounds per week. I'm obviously incredibly excited for the weight loss, but I'm confused at why there is such a dramatic difference in…

Please critique my food log (last 14 days logged)
Hey MFP! I posted a similar thread not too long ago and didn't get as many responses as I'd hoped for. I would really appreciate some input on what your thoughts are on my daily eating. I'm 6'1 male, age 25, and weigh ~199 (down from 209 from when I started my diet about a month ago :smile:). I have my goals set to…

How to convince a family member that her 800/day calories TOTAL (not net) is very unhealthy
Hey MFP. So, a relative of mine is on a weight loss journey as well. However, she is eating a very low amount of calories per day. Around 800 total. She also is working out a ton, probably around 5 times per week. What are some very solid articles or stats I should link her to show that she is way under eating? Anyone have…

Post your food log link URL - and have others critique what you're eating (good/bad behaviors)

The goods/bads/way to improve, etc. Here is mine: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/deceived1 Let me know what you think of the last 7-8 days logged.

Food Diary (Suggestions/Criticisms)
Hey guys! I'm currently doing insanity and changed up my diet and just wanted to see if I was at close to having a decent consumption of foods. I am a very terrible cook, which results in me eating a lot of wheat bread, which is probably an issue I'm having. Would really appreciate any pointers. Thanks!

Help! I slept too much and didn't eat yesterday!
So, I work night shifts and for various reasons have been slightly sleep deprived the last month or so. Yesterday, my body finally caught up and I slept for 18 hours straight. In doing so, I missed almost a full days worth of food. What do I do now? Eat a lot more today? Thanks :(

Food suggestions
Hey guys and girls! I'm finding it increasingly difficult to meet my calorie goals, especially on work-out days. I'm not the greatest cook, so that seems to hurt me a lot in reaching food goals. What are some high-calorie, easy to make/prepare, foods that are also good for you to help get you closer to your calorie goals?

Recovery Drinks
Hey guys, I'm really super ignorant when it comes to recovery drinks, and after doing some google searches, I've found that I'm just as lost about the topic as I was when I started. Few questions: 1) When should you have a recovery drink (after every workout? how long afterwards?) 2) Is chocolate milk a good substitute as…

Not-quite-thread worthy Questions Thread
Hey guys! I think having a thread like this would be a great idea: just a place to ask a single question that isn't quite worthy of it's own thread. Post your questions here!

Hello!
Hey everyone! My name is Mike - 23 years old, and I recently moved from New York to New Mexico (mid October 2012). I've had the same body type since about 10th grade - out of shape, but not terribly so, and I'm ready to step up and get into shape for the first time in years and years. Joined this site mostly to track…
