Restarting

Wanted to lose 20 more. Slowly putting it back on. Unacceptable! Need to lose 30 now. Restarting the process. Having…

Struggling
I'm exercising every day. 30000 steps a day on fitbit, loads of stairs. I'm never hungry. I drink 100+ ounces of water a day. I eat a high protein diet. The weight won't come off! Went into menopause in August (periods stopped entirely) i ache every day at bedtime from activity. Lost 35 lbs July to December last year. Put…

Fitbit vs MFP
MAP says I burned 187 calories this morning walking two miles at a brisk pace My fitbit gave me credit for 79 calories for the same walk. Can anyone tell which one is accurate? I don't eat my exercise calories anyway, but I'm wondering why they're different.

Keep gaining!
Working out an hour a day. Tues and Friday, I add swimming to the mix. Put on two lbs this week, 6 since I started. Clothes just keep getting tighter. Need all the encouragement I can get.

Perimenopause
Two years ago, I weighed 145. I exercised daily on a treadmill and worked full time. My periods were regular at 50. Now, I weigh 174 and can't tread due to a very bad sprained ankle. I am retired, so spend more time gardening and sewing. My periods like to skip months at a time. I can't get my weight to budge, so here I am…

On Vacation
Today is day four of our vacation and I feel terrible. I haven't been logging in for over a week, eating poorly and not drinking the water. We're either eating out, or eating with relatives that overeat and think it's funny. Celebrated a birthday - which means we're overloading on carbs. Need all the advice and support I…

Tracking Iron and coming up low
I'm trying to track my iron, because I've been chronically low for years. (Keep getting deferred at blood donor clinic, so I know it isn't getting better). My doctor had me taking a liquid supplement for months, but it tastes like rusty pipes. Any ideas on how to boost my iron on a daily basis? I've already found that…

Balancing Act
I usually get to my limits of protein and fat before I use up my calories for the day. A typical day has me eating mixed veggies with 2 eggs in a non-stick skillet, an apple for snack, poultry with low fat beans and corn for lunch, crackers and low fat pb for snack, then a spinach salad with cucumber, tomatoes, green…
