Help with macros
I changed my macros to 40 carbs/30 protein/30 fat and now my protein is changed to 137. Is that too high? I've often heard that 100 should be the max for someone my size. (female, 32 years old, 5'2, 148 lbs.). I'm trying to lose .5 lbs a week to get to 135.

Eat more or stick with it?
Hi folks, today was my 150th day logging into MFP. I started at 150# and I'm now somewhere between 138-139#. I'm 5'2. My initial goal is 135. When I hit 137 a few weeks ago, I thought I'd definitely meet 135 by my goal of September 15th. However, over the last few weeks, I keep bouncing up and down from 137 to 138.6 to…

Stuck on # of calories AGAIN
Hi everyone, I just took a screen grab of my weight report for the last 90 days. It looks ridiculous. I have been doing the MFP method and eating some calories back but in the last week or so decided to do TDEE. I am worried I need to switch back as my exercise schedule isn't as solid as I thought. I have ten pounds to…

April 22
Hi! I didn't see a thread for yesterday so I just thought I'd start one. I did my Day 22 on April 22 and it was pretty brutal. I weirdly LIKE the walking pushups. I must be crazy!

30 Day Shred NSV
Ladies, I wore a shirt with a very wide open collar today and I actually did a double take when walking past a closet with a mirror on the outside. My neck and collarbone area look so slender. I can see bones! :)

Resting muscles?
Hi everyone, I'm sitting in bed after taking a long bath with epsom salts. I'm feeling very sore, especially in my arms. I think it's because I switched to 5 lb weights today and yesterday. Do you guys think we would see better results if we took one rest day? Today I didn't even do my usual one hour walk and I feel more…

Help a rookie's strength training schedule?
I'm doing the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred every day in April (btw, there is a fantastic support group if anyone wants to join) and also walking my dog anywhere from 1-4 miles per day at a pace of 3.5 mph or more, if I can manage it. One of my biggest priorities is to tone my arms. I have a good weight lifting routine…

Am I doing this right?
Hi everyone, I'm really inspired by this community. You all make me believe that if I do what you are doing I can get there too. After reading a few posts in the "read this first" section. I am curious if MFP is setting my calories too low at 1200? I mean, I can certainly force myself to stick to 1200, but my concern is…
